COMMITTEE REPORTS: Public Works Director Gortsema gave a Water Project Update. Bodiford Construction has installed 9,053 feet of 6” lines, 2,130 feet of 8” lines, 18 new hydrants and has connected 59 services lines. The contractor is still having problems passing the bacteria samples but otherwise the remainder of the work is fine. If the bacteria testing problem persists it is in the contract to only pay 50% of the pay request for the pipe laying. The City has limited the amount of time the contractor can flush the lines and the contractor is coordinating with the City prior to flushing so the City can check the reservoir level. Mike Sturdevant has started a punch list now instead of waiting until the project is close to completion.
The Sewer Project is currently on North 2nd Street. Atlas has installed an additional 1,110 feet, 12 services, and 6 manholes. When they are done on North 2nd Street they will move to Hill Street. They are approximately 85% complete.

ICCTFOA INSTITUTE: On motion by Councilman Zehner, second by Councilwoman DeHaas to allow the City Clerk to attend the ICCTFOA Institute in Boise at the end of September.
ITEMS TO NOTE: Copies of the RC&D Minutes of June 23, 2005 were presented to the Council.
NPDES permit was received by the City and reads pretty much as expected. The City has a 30 day comment period that starts today. There is no temperature requirement at this time, but the permit has a disclaimer that states DEQ and the City are working on temperature collection on Three Mile Creek and John’s Creek. Phosphate and chlorine requirements will require a change and the City has 4.5 years to be compliant. There is no exemption for high flows for the 85% removal. There is additional monitoring that will need to be done for the next three years; however the records will only need to be compiled and available, but not reported.
The meeting adjourned at 7:55 P.M.
