PUBLIC HEARING:
• 2009 Wastewater Facilities Plan Update
Mayor Olson stated that the public hearing is for the 2009 Wastewater Facilities Plan Update.
Mayor Olson asked staff to introduce the item to the council.
Bill Sheridan stated that the public hearing deals with the wastewater treatment facility.. For several
months, work has been done to provide the best plan to go forward with improvements at the
wastewater facility. Bill stated that representatives from Morrison-Maierle attended tonight's public
hearing, and Scott Murphy would give the presentation.
Mayor Olson asked if there were any questions for Bill. There were none.
Mayor Olson stated that a part of the presentation is a request from Morrison-Maierle for direction
on how to proceed with the project. Mayor Olson stated that a resolution would be forced on
tonight's council agenda under Unscheduled Matters to address the issue for the council's guidance.
Scott Murphy distributed copies of the PowerPoint presentation. He stated that this public hearing is
associated with the City of Laurel's 2009 Wastewater System Preliminary Engineering Report
Update. At this meeting, they are specifically seeking the potential for public input, which is a
requirement of the Montana Department of Environmental Quality and other funding agencies.
Even though opportunities for public comment have been offered in the past, this is a formal
opportunity and written comments will also be accepted.
Council Minutes of March 17, 2009
-Scott stated that tonight's outline would be to review the recent wastewater planning and project
history, discuss why the Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) is being updated at this time, review
the growth projections and the current WWTP conditions, and review the 2009 PER
Recommendations and Implementation Plan. Scott explained that a Preliminary Engineering Report
(PER) and a Facility Plan are interchangeable terms. The PER completed in 2003 planned for a
population of about 8,100 for the year 2022, which at that point in time was 20 years out. The PER
outlined a phased set of improvements over an eight to ten year period that looked at flow reduction
in the collection system and replacement of the system and the WWTP projects were aimed at
upgrade and capacity improvements. In 2003 through 2005, the first of the recommended projects
were implemented. The City of Laurel applied for and received an award of $500,000 through the
Community Development Block Grant Program and that project was implemented in 2004. The
project was sewer improvements on Alder and near the Railroad and included replacing a collapsing
drain pump station at the WWTP and a new effluent flow measuring device that was required by
DEQ. Two years later, Laurel was awarded another $500,000 grant from the Treasure State
Endowment Program (TSEP), and a $100,000 grant from the Department of Natural Resources
(DNRC). The project, which was implemented in 2006-2007, included replacement and simplifying
the trunk sewers that lead into the WWTP and was aimed at reducing infiltration and inflow to the
WWTP.
In 2007, the City of Laurel was awarded another $750,000 TSEP grant for the Phase II project. This
included the WWTP and Lift Station capacity issues, permit compliance, and safety and aging
facilities issues. About the same time the grant was awarded, DEQ was changing discharge
standards. That required a reevaluation of the plans stated in the TSEP Grant to ensure that what the
city built would serve well for another twenty years.
Scott stated that the need to update the Preliminary Engineering Report focused on two primary
issues of toxicity and nutrients in the river. DEQ water quality standards are still being updated.
The updated standards are being applied in a way more consistent with some new procedures since
about 2007. In effect, it means that the city has to deal with the chlorine and ammonia, which are
both toxic to fish, in the effluent that goes into the river. The TSEP project did not adequately deal
with those two issues. In addition, there are ongoing regulations with the nutrient effects of nitrogen
and phosphorus. _ These issues are addressed in the updated PER. With the revision of the PER, the
growth projections and current WWTP conditions were also reviewed. The Preliminary Engineering
Report now updates population projections to 2030. High and low projections were made, but based
on the city's historical growth and how it relates to growth in Yellowstone County, the number
proposed and selected is about 8,440 people in 2030. The current facility is designed to handle a
population of about 7,000. Scott stated that, even though this is the population as projected, all of
the projects are envisioned so the city could readily handle increased growth.
Scott stated that the findings of the sewer collection system conditions and needs are that the two
pump stations need rehabilitation. The pump stations are the Elm Street and the Village Subdivision
Lift Stations. The lift stations were components of the TSEP project, and they still need
rehabilitation. The scope has changed a little bit because the mechanical pumps were replaced in the
Elm Street, but the facility still needs rehabilitation. The city has a series of "one-month lines" that
require regular attention to keep from being blocked up. The whole system is aging and the sewer
lines need to be replaced.
Scott spoke regarding the conditions and needs at the WWTP. The previous sewer projects
significantly reduced the peak flows. The headworks conditions are still unsafe and the equipment
needs replacing. There is still a lack of capacity for anticipating 20-year growth and the city is
unable to comply with water quality standards.for ammonia and chlorine with the present facility.
Nutrient standards and Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) solutions will be needed within the
next ten years.
Scott reviewed the 2009 PER recommendations. He reviewed a slide showing evidence of past
project success through significant peak flow reduction. In 2005, the peaks were at 3 million gallons
per day. In 2007, the peaks were in the range of 1.5 million gallons per day. Scott stated that these
are very dramatic results. The city can see a very clear result from the money spent, and that has an
effect at the treatment plant in terms of lowering the costs of upgrading the facility.
Scott reviewed the major findings of the upgrade and rehabilitation needs. The Elm and Village Lift
Stations still need major rehabilitation. The PER recommends the development of a long-term
replacement and rehabilitation program for the collection system. At the treatment plant, the
2
Council Minutes of March 17, 2009
headworks equipment needs to be upgraded, the plant water systems need to be upgraded, the plant
hydraulic bottlenecks need to be remedied, and the secondary treatment system needs an upgrade
and expansion. The TSEP Grant was awarded for these projects and must be completed in order to
receive the TSEP money. Based on discussions with DEQ, in the next two to four years, the city
will be required to upgrade the disinfection system. Scott stated that converting from chlorine as a
disinfecting agent to ultraviolet light is the most cost-effective way to go. Some additional issues
identified in the 2003 Facility Plan have become more critical issues based on input from staff. One
issue is to rehabilitate the Influent Lift Station at the treatment plant. Some digester piping needs to
be replaced and portions of the outfall are starting to show signs of leakage and need to be replaced.
Scott spoke regarding the recommended projects. The Phase I projects have been completed. The
Phase 2A projects are the components that were in the TSEP application, including expanding the
secondary treatment with an activated sludge. Projected costs in early 2010 would be approximately
$6.1 million. The disinfection project will need to be done in the next two to four years, and the city
is waiting for DEQ's draft permit. Costs are estimated at about $500,000 for that project. The cost
for the influent Lift Station rehabilitation, sludge digestion and transfer system, and the effluent
outfall replacement are combined to about $600,000.
Scott presented an example of a funding description. After subtracting the grant funds from the total
projected costs for the Phase 2A project, the remaining amount needs to be paid with cash or
financed. If the whole amount were financed, the annualized cost based on a loan at 20 years at 4
percent interest is $490,000 per year. That includes 125 percent coverage, with a 25 percent forced
savings account over that period of time. That is the SRF Program's requirement for this type of
funding. The cost to the average connection in Laurel would be about $13.00. The city will
continue to receive additional information on a separate, but related, rate study that will help the
council set rates down the road. It is not an increase, but it just relates the cost of the project to the
average user.
Carl Anderson stated that the city is in the fourth year of a five-year rate increase. That rate increase
was designed around doing the first two projects that Scott mentioned and also contemplated this
project. The city has another rate increase scheduled for July I" of this year. The rate increases
already in place and the finalization of the rate study will tell that the city has come a long ways
towards paying for this particular project.
Scott stated that the Phase 2 schedule is in the PER Update. This applies to Phase 2A, B and C. The
PER was submitted to the City and DEQ in February 2009. There is ongoing work associated with
the SRF loan application and finalizing the TSEP startup conditions. Morrison-Maierle anticipates
receiving DEQ's comments on the document in early April. They would then finalize the PER and
bring it to the council for final approval. Morrison-Maierle would be prepared to initiate the design
of the Phase 2 improvements in April. Doing the project as Phase 2A, they could submit plans and
specifications to DEQ in October, advertise in December, and award a construction contract in
February. It is estimated that the construction would be completed in September 2011. A project of
this nature takes about sixteen months to complete.
Scott spoke regarding the next steps and actions required by the city. Public comments are being
solicited now. The council will be asked to formally adopt the PER after Morrison-Maierle finalizes
it with MDEQ comments. The SRF and TSEP process will continue to move forward, culminating
in June. The conditions of the stimulus package money need to be considered if offered. At some
point prior to initiating design, the council needs to make decisions about the Phase 2B and 2C
projects.
Scott offered to answer questions and take public comments.
Council Member Dickerson asked about the possibility or percentage of increase on the $6.1 million
project by the time it is awarded.
Scott explained that the engineers' estimate is for the cost of the project when it is bid in December
2009.
Mayor Olson asked if there were any other questions or comments. There were none.
Mayor Olson thanked Scott for the presentation.
Mayor Olson opened the public hearing and read the rules governing the public hearing.

ITEMS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA: None.
COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS (ONE-MINUTE LIMIT): None.
COUNCIL DISCUSSION:
Council Member Poehls stated that the Emergency Services Committee would not meet on Monday,
March 23"d.
Council Member Poehls spoke regarding information he received from Kurt Markegard today. Gary
Colley and Chris Rosenberg recently received a letter from MRL stating that MRL is in the process
of bidding out the demolition of Asphalt Supply. Council Member Poehls stated that this has taken a
long time, and it is really good news.
Council Member Dickerson asked that two items be placed on the March 31st council workshop
agenda. The first item is concerns with moisture and mud on the north side of the walking bridge
that was built last year. The second item is the condition of the alley between First and Third Streets
east of city hall.
Council Member Rodgers attended a Montana Department of Transportation meeting with Bill
Sheridan and Kurt Markegard. He stated that the meeting was very educational and promising.
Mayor Olson asked Bill Sheridan to report on the MDT meeting.
Bill Sheridan, Kurt Markegard, Chuck Rodgers, Mary Embleton and Bill Kennedy attended the
meeting with the Montana Department of Transportation. The city asked MDT if it could obtain any
Federal Stimulus Funding to build the Eighth Avenue project, which is from Main to Ninth Street.
MDT was straightforward and responded that the city could obtain about $3.5 million. That is good
news, but there are also some problems. A number of property owners need to either donate or
allow purchase of property to ensure that the construction can be put in place and a total package can
be provided to the citizens of Laurel. Bill stated that the city is hopeful and very interested in
pursuing this project to the end of construction.
Mayor Olson thanked Council President Poehls for leading the meeting last week in his absence. He
also applauded Bill Sheridan and the staff for their work.

UNSCHEDULED MATTERS:
Mayor Olson stated the need to force Resolution No. R09-27 on tonight's council agenda and asked
Bill Sheridan to introduce the item to the council.
Bill Sheridan stated that the resolution is for council approval of improvements to the Wastewater
Treatment Plant. The improvements include: the construction and placement of a water service
from the potable water treatment facility to the wastewater treatment facility; rehabilitation and
reconstruction of the two sewage lift and pump stations; major improvements to the headworks at
the wastewater treatment plant; and the construction of an activated sludge treatment system. Bill
stated that staff recommends not to go forward with the ultraviolet disinfection system for the
wastewater treatment facility and various other smaller improvements at the wastewater treatment
facility at this time. He asked that the council approve the items to go forward with design, bidding,
and construction of the project.
Mayor Olson asked the council for a motion to place Resolution No. R09-27 on the agenda.
Resolution No. R09-27: A resolution of the Laurel City Council authorizing the
division of Phase 11 of the Wastewater Treatment Plant Project into two separate parts
in order to obtain available Federal Stimulus Funding.
Motion b Council Member Poehls to place Resolution No. R09-27 on the council agenda,
seconded by Council Member Dickerson. There was no public comment or council discussion. A
vote was taken on the motion. All seven council members present voted aye. Motion carried 7-0.
Mayor Olson stated that the resolution separates the project into two parts. Part 1 includes

funding. The three projects include Eighth Avenue, the Water Plant upgrades, and the Bus Transit
upgrades.
Motion b Council Member Dickerson to place the Eighth Avenue project, the Water Plant
upgrades, and the Bus Transit upgrades on the council agenda for discussion, seconded. by Council
Member Hart. There was no public comment or council discussion. A vote was taken on the
motion. All seven. council members voted aye. Motion carried 7-0.
Mayor Olson stated that support for the wastewater projects is a consideration for the stimulus
package. City representatives going to Helena on Friday will speak regarding the three additional
projects, which Mayor Olson hopes the council would endorse with a motion of support. Mayor
Olson asked the council if there were any questions regarding the Eighth Avenue Project, the Water
Treatment Project, and the Bus Transit Project.
Council Member Dickerson asked regarding prioritization of the three projects for the stimulus
funding.
Mayor Olson stated that, although he did not speak for the council, he would personally encourage
consideration for Eighth Avenue, as it is the longest standing project. He did not rank.the other two
projects, which are both important and have priority in their own respect.
Council Member Poehls and Council Member Dickerson agreed that the Eighth Avenue Project
would be the highest priority of the three projects.
Mayor Olson stated that, in going before the committee regarding the stimulus funding,
consideration for prioritizing should not diminish the opportunity for other projects to stand on their
own merit. If the committee found reason to support other projects through different funding
agencies, it would be the committee's decision. Bill Sheridan, Mary Embleton, and Pat Murtagh, of
Great West Engineering, will speak at length regarding Laurel's reasons for placing the items on.the
stimulus list. Mayor Olson stated that it is imperative to have council action supporting the city's
decision to go forward.
