ITEM 4 COUNCIL REPORTS:
4.1 Parks
Committee: Micah Olson said the fencing has been
installed along the west side of Jim Bundy Memorial Park, and the portable
toilet fencing enclosures have been constructed in Jim Bundy Memorial and
Harvard Parks.
4.2 Water
Source and Development Committee: Micah
Olson said they have exhausted every possibility of properly placing the screen
within the 8-inch casing, so they are removing the casing and screen from the
hole and will need to re-drill the well.
He said there is no advantage to drilling larger than a 10-inch
well. He said the 10-inch well will
accommodate a pump that will meet our needs, and we will likely be able to
re-use the 8-inch screen.
Councilor Hudson asked if the 8-inch screen will
allow us to install a pump large enough to pump all of the water that is
available.
Mr. Olson said a 500 gpm pump can be placed in a
10-inch well, and the pump will sit above the 8-inch screen.
The Council discussed the well project at length
with staff. He said the well driller
will need to purchase 10-inch tools to drill the well for us. He noted that design engineering for the
chlorination facility and transmission piping is currently under way.
4.3 Streets
Committee: Councilor Hudson said the Public Works crew
did a great job keeping the streets cleared of snow during the last week, and
he commended the Council for their foresight in making the decision to purchase
a snowplow.
