things. The things that are difficult to do is the human error aspect of it. So those are the things we are trying
to tighten up. Every company, every business, every municipality has the same kind of thing.
People are people, they are human and they make mistakes. One of the things that occurs is someone will
call up and say “This is Fred from IT, we notice your PC from our monitoring is having problems, can you give
me your log in and password, | want to be able to come in and fix it for you”. Well we had somebody actually
within the City that did that. And they went in and they took over the person’s PC and fortunately it was
stopped in the nick of time, but people just automatically are trusting, it’s the nature of people. We don’t want
to make people hardened and not trusting but you want to at least educate them to ask the questions,
challenge the person what to look for.

Re: Marshall Street Drainage Improvements (Value: Not-To-Exceed $35,000)
Mayor Donchess
And the third communication is from Mr. Dookran regarding Marshall Street and there is no supporting
documentation, we might have not gotten it. So maybe Mr. Dookran should come up and explain this one. For
whatever reason the supporting memo didn’t get attached to the suspension.
Steve Dookran, City Engineer
Ok thank you Mayor. | am Steve Dookran, City Engineer, I'll try to provide an explanation of what we are trying
to accomplish. Marshall Street has an old combined sewer and we had intentions for many years to go in and
separate that because they sewer backups in the area. There is a private development project that is going
on, | think it’s called 22 East Hollis Street; it is wnere they are putting in some apartment buildings. They are
actually doing some drainage work in the area as well and some improvements in the street. So we see this
as an opportunity to partner with them to do some work to benefit the City. So it amounts to $35,000.00 is
what we would spend. So this firm, the firm that is doing the work in the street will perform the work for us at
that cost.
Mayor Donchess
And this will improve the drainage flow of the sewage in the Crown Hill area.
Mr., Dookran
Just in that general area, the Marshall Street, Bower Street area.
