It was especially noted that the study recommends review for possible dissolution of the Utility Commission. The members agreed that such a study should be made to see how much of the Utility Commission responsibility is overlapped by the Council and other committees. The commission members were in agreement that they would support the Council in a decision to embrace the study recommendations for 1985 and that they would attempt to be at the February 26th Special Council Meeting to support that position.

Second by Hasbrouck. Ayes 2; Nays 0. The Commission reviewed the DARTS request for an antenna location for their communications system. It was noted that the tower already has three systems on it, and the New Vector system adjacent to it. It was felt that an additional system as proposed may be costly to filter and would best be served from some other site. The Commission agreed that this would not be the best site, but not an impossible site, therefore, DARTS should submit additional information regarding the proposed system and its impact on the adjacent systems that are in place for further consideration, if they so desire. Secretary Darling advised that he and Mayor Knutson would be attending the breakfast meeting in Apple Valley being hosted by Peter E. Meintsma, Chairman of the MWCC. All Commission members are invited to attend. Don Brown advised that the return so far on the questionnaire has been great. Twenty percent of the questionnaires have been returned already.

Don Brown presented a request to consider the purchase of a hoist for the back of a'pickup unit. This request will fulfill the Utility D'epartment's attempt, at acquiring a hoist two years ago. The winch for that system was purchased and delivered to the Vo -Tech and they were to construct the hoist. Upon checking on this unit recently, it was disclosed that the hoist had been misplaced or lost and with this in mind, it was felt it would be best to pursue purchase of a ready made unit. Estimated cost of a unit of sufficient size would be $1,200.00 to $,1,500.00. • MOTION by Westin to authorize the purchase of a hoist to be mounted on the Utility Department's pickup. Second by Walsh. Ayes: 3, Nays: 0. Don Brown presented the tabulated results of the Water Questionnaire noting that there is no definite pattern' in the locations or frequency of the various water problems that comments were requested on. He was directed to obtain professional assistance if possible to determine if anyone could read some conclusions into the results received. He °advised the Commission that part of the most recent rust complaints was due to connecting into the Apple Valley system during the down time of our tower and having Apple Valley flush hydrants in their system that cause considerable surging within our system. Well #6 is on line in the variable speed mode and is supplying most of the water needs of the City. Very little water is being used from Apple Valley System that is not being replaced at some time during this interconnect mode. A follow up will be done on several individual complaints, working with SEH and others to determine what benefit is being provided by the addition of chlorine and polyphosphate throughout the system. Don Brown presented a request to consider refurbishing the jet truck. He presented an estimate for body work totalling over $1,900. The Commission directed that he look into purchase or trading up to a • newer unit before any decision is made o refurbishing of this 1968 model truck. UTILITY COMMISSION PROCEEDINGS REGULAR MEETING, MAY 13, 1985 • PAGE TWO Don Brown presented an update on the water tower maintenance work advising the Commission that the contractor is doing good work and is completing the project in good time. The interior is completed and the exterior is sand blasted and primed. All that remains is the final painting process. Don Brown advised the Commission that the intercity water connection is doing what it was designed to do very effectively at this time. Both entities have agreed that flushing on either system is to be suspended when the connection is open.

Second by Hasbrouck. Ayes: 3. Nays: 0. :71 Commissioner Hasbrouck presented an overview of his findings in reviewing the three water quality surveys that have gone out since 1980. His findings indicate that although people are not pleased with the chlorine system, those that truely had a smelly water problem are no longer having that problem. He encouraged all Commission members to take the opportunity to personally review these survey comments. Public Works Director Don Brown advised the Commission that the water tower painting project is approximately 99 percent complete. The inspection firm presented a punch list of items that needed correction, and the contractor has been working towards correcting the items on the punch list. Claims resulting from the painting of the tower are being presented. It is expected that fewer claims will be handled due to the method of painting used in this project. The contractor has approached Mr. Brown regarding a partial payment of which the contract does not allow. Mr. Brown recommended that payment be made in lump sum when the project is finalized.

Further information was presented from the State Plumbing Code indicating that residents are obligated and required to hook up to a municipal water system as soon as the system becomes available. The Utilities Commission unanimously agreed that the Public Works Director notify those residents that are not hooked up to • the system that they have until two years from this date to accomplish hooking up to the City water system. Furthermore, the Utilities Commission directed that any other units discovered that are not hooked up to either sewer or water be afforded this same notice and time period to accomplish the hook up. Don Brown presented information to the Utilities Commission requesting he be authorized to purchase an oxygen sensing meter to be used by the utilities personnel to determine the safety of air in man holes prior to entry. The current is noted for its failures, and the repair process is quite lengthy. The unit proposed can and will be repaired in the Twin Cities thereby utilizing a shorter time frame for repair when needed. The quoted price as recommended by Don Brown is $1,187.

Don Brown was instructed by the Utilities Commission to notify all concerned that the water system he has proposed that requires a 15 • foot easement on the north edge on Parcel D will be required prior to approval of the plumbing and sewer permits for this site. Don Brown informed the Commission that the curb and driveway corrections at the Dennis Heinzen properties has finally been started. This project should be complete within the week. Don Brown presented information on the water system performance during the dry spell that was experienced this summer. The performance indicators show that the system is able to hold its own at the level of use experienced this year, but any additional requirements will cause deficiencies, and he suggested that the Utilities Commission and Council begin the process for providing an additional well in the next two to three years. He advised that the City is still in a position of adequate water supply, and there is no threat at this time of any water issue bands. MOTION by Walsh to adjourn. Second by Westin. Ayes: 3. Nays: 0.

Mr. Brown requested that anyone finding a hydrant that is not color coded to advise him of this fact. Don Brown reported to the Utilities Commission that the correction to the pump control panel has been a longer process than anyone figured it would be. Waldorf Plumbing is performing the corrective measures at this time and has not received the greatest cooperation from Consolidated Electric in supplying the necessary schematics and drawings needed to search out the problems within the panel. They will continue their efforts until the panel is either declared repaired or recommend panel changes to put it back in services as it should be. MOTION by Walsh to adjourn. Second by Hasbrouck.

Consolidated Electric has been unable to find the problem that has been plaguing the system. It was noted that this system has always had some type of minor problem that created a need to have employees available on weekends and holidays to reset the system should it fail. Discussion was held on retrofitting a new control system into the existing cabinets or some other corrective measure. President Walsh directed that a demonstration be requested for the evening of October 21st. If this demonstration can be scheduled he will call a special meeting to allow the Commission to review the demonstration and possibly make a decision to replace the existing system with a current state of the art control panel. Don Brown presented a draft 5 Year CIP for the Utilities Fund. This would allow the reasonable implementation of system upgrades at a time that the City Council is considering upgrading of streets and curbs. This CIP system would be the means of funding some large cost repairs and replacement to the system in the future. The Commission accepted this concept and agreed that a fund should be established to provide the funding source for the CIP. Discussion revealed that $15,000 per year starting with 1985 would provide the needed funding for this program in the amount of $90,000. Annual review and update will be undertaken by the Commission and Staff. MOTION by Walsh to adopt a 5 Year Utilities Capital Improvement Program and fix a funding rate of $15,000 per year starting in 1985 for this program. Second by Hasbrouck. Ayes: 3. Nays: 0.
