You think another month?
Mr. Boucher
Yes, at least another two weeks and then we start filling the egg again. It takes a month and a half to get the
egg full and back online. You have to slowly fill it and get the process back up and running.

Representative Rosenwald was very involved in trying to get this funded. | think one year a couple of years
ago she got a little bit of money. | think we got something, but not nearly whatever the state’s share is
supposed to be.
Alderman Klee
What is the state’s share supposed to be?

facility. It’s nice to have one company do the whole package versus an engineer do part of it and then the
contractor do the rest.

Mr. Boucher
This is the base of one of the four raw sewage pumps that we have. Typically, they don’t get replaced.
However, this one received some damage to the base. Between the pump and the base there is a wear ring.
Overtime this wear ring wore faster than we had expected and caused the pump to wear into the base so it’s
beyond repair and needs a new one put in place. Once this one is out, we will inspect all the other bases.
This is to replace this whole base so we can put a brand new air ring in it.

Alderman Klee
The one replaced in December, was that also out of date?
Mr. Boucher
No, it wasn’t. That was the correct one. However, this company submitted ones that were obsolete. These
will match the one that is in place now.
Mayor Donchess
Mr. Boucher just joined us recently. He was not here.
Mr. Boucher
January 3” | started.
Mayor Donchess
He’s coming into this a little late.

Alderman Klee
Are they the traffic pattern lights or is it also for the emergency when the emergency vehicles are coming
through?
Mayor Donchess
| think that the optical system, | believe, is controlled by the controller. Those are activated by the firetrucks and
the like.
