MSA Engineering would charge $7,700 per month dropping to $6,500 after a few months and then $5,000 per month after that. Wisconsin Rural Water Association has people who could act as Part-time Operators in Charge, they would be hired directly by the City, not through WRWA. for a monthly $2,000 salary plus mileage. There is possibly a second backup person. Council Member Gelhaus asked about someone in-house getting the certification. Director of Public Works Friemoth stated the DNR has a 10-point system. Four to six years (you get a point per year – you have to be physically in the plant) plus advanced courses for the rest of the points. Wisconsin Rural Water Association said he should apply as he was Jeremy Boon’s immediate supervisor, it would be a 50/50 chance as he already has the advanced certificate. Motion Neville, second Poeschel, to adjourn. All Aye. ____________________________________ Barbara Petkvosek, Chair
