The commission received an update from Kenviron representative Vern Shanklin presented the commission an update regarding the wastewater treatment plant.
He listed seven items for consideration.
• plant mechanical aeration assembly
• plant headworks bar screen and grit separator
• plant RAS/WAS pumps assembly
• plant clarifier access catwalk
• plant perimeter safety railing
• plant metal coating
• mobilization and de-mobilization.
Shanklin then asked the commission which item they would like to include or delete. If the commission decides to include the bar screen and grit separator, a resident inspector would have to be hired, as this would be a change in the plant. The estimated total cost of the project was $425,000. City has approximately $118,000 in grant funds.
Ashley Willoughbyof the Lincoln Trail Area Development suggested the city apply for a KIA loan for
approximately $100,000 and a Community Development Block Grant for approximately $218,000. The loan would be for 20 years with a possible interest rate of 2.5 percent to 4.5 percent.
The commision agreed to authorize Shanklin to continue with the engineering report as scheduled,
including the seven items that were listed on the preliminary report. The commissionalso authorized Willoughby to begin preparing the application for the Community Development Block Grant.
