ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Caron
It is not a question it’s just that because this re-eval took place about 4 years ago, there were so many
deficiencies that it’s important that we know this has to be taken care of. We can’t let it go if anything happens
to that treatment plant we are deep trouble. So | look at some of these prices too and go crazy but it’s just
important that we get back to the upgrade and do our maintenance in a more timely manner than what has
been done in the past. | know what your concerns are, when | look at some of this myself, but when you look
at the total overview it could be catastrophic for us.
Alderman Klee
| agree and | remember when he was here talking about all the deficiencies | just didn’t know if these were new
and above what he had talked to us about. If these were something we weren’t anticipating. That was my kind
of angst at that moment so thank you.
Mayor Donchess
| think it’s just part of the on-going project of improving worn out equipment and parts of the plant. Any other
discussion?
MOTION CARRIED
UNFINISHED BUSINESS — None
