PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMITTEE
COUNCIL CHAMBERS
AUGUST 10, 1994
5:00 P.M.
MEMBERS PRESENT:
Ron Marshall Sharon Herman
Bob Graham Dennis Eaton
John Minch Dave Michael
Chuck Rodgers
A quorum of three (3) or more members being present the
following business was conducted:
First item of business; Dave Michael reported that he
received a letter from the Montana Department of Health and
Environmental Sciences directing the City to have a contingency
plan ready in the event the State declares a drought designation
for this area. According to the letter lawn watering, gardens
and car washes would be affected. Dave reported that he has
prepared these plans before and that it wouldn't be a problem.
Second item of business; Dave Michael reported that he
hasn't received any response for bids for construction of new
drying beds at the Sewer Plant. It was his impression that
area contractors don't wan't to because the City requires
a State License, City Business License, and proof of Workmans
Compensation Insurance. Bob Graham said he would contact Jerry
Moran to see if he would be interested in doing this work.
Estimated cost of the project is between 12 to 15 thousand.
Third item of business; Requests for design and
construction for the Water Plant are due August 17. A special
meeting of the Public Utilities Committee will be held August
23, to go over these proposals.
Fourth item of business; Committee discussed the
recommendation from the Budget and Finance committee for a 12%
water rate increase and a 6% sewer rate increase. After
discussion a motion was made by Bob Graham, seconded by John
Minch to have Dave Michael go ahead and prepare the paper work
for this increase. Motion carried
Meeting adjourned 5:40 P.M.
Resp ly submitted,
Ron Mar hall
Acting Chairman
