Discussion on switching over to a wet well but noted the expense. Lynn requested Odeen summarize the options and bring to next meeting. 6. Revision to Arbor Hills Lift Station Generator Proposal. Public Works asked Kish Electric to look at going to an air cooled versus water cooled. Kish advised it would not work, as it wouldn’t be powerful enough to start one pump. A water cooled new 24kw with transfer switch would be $300 more than the original 30 kw that was proposed. It was questioned whether the 24kw was without tariff. Lynn suggested having Roger from Kish attend the next meeting to discuss. 7. Administrator Report. Peterson gave update that storm sewer at Ebner coulee Road is redirected away from Sewer Spur MH. 8.

Odeen updated the commissioners regarding an update on communications upgrade proposal. Existing system is from 2002. To upgrade, including alarm system would be $167,900. The system would still use radio signal and wells would stay on soft start. Electronics would be modern and parts replaceable. Wright requested if Intern could call to schedule more water/sewer house inspections. Odeen referenced an event in which Xcel gas hit our sewer forcemain at 28th and Cass, which triggered a requirement to update our CMOM report for the State. 9. President/Commissioner Reports.
