The Council entertained a motion from councilor Tee Steadman to approve the published agenda and was seconded by councilor Trenton Morrell. All were in favor and the motion carried the council.
The minutes from January 4, , were read aloud by Clerk Smith. Councilor Trenton Morrell made the motion to accept the minutes as read. Councilor DeLoy Kunz seconded the motion. Chris Banks and Brandee Wells came before the council to discuss some options that they help to write grants for landowners and municipalities. They worked with our city previously on our wastewater project and did a conservation project.
We need to replace probably 25, feet between the spring to the tank and from the tank down to the City. Chris will email a form to Lynette to fill out so he can help us get a couple of grants that are available right now. Kevin Martin of Sunrise Engineering and his partner Addison Ochsenbein, came to the council to discuss our new requirements from DEQ to test every home for lead and copper.
He has submitted an application for us for help to get a grant to pay for that. They will want all homes to be documented in the city and to have all galvanized pipe removed.
Upstream galvanized pipe will be ok but downstream will need to be replaced. Inventory will need to be taken by October and we have a 4 year window to address issues.
