City Administrator Lizzie Jeanes reported at the Grant City Council Meeting in March that two more dilapidated homes were torn down.
There were two change orders for the sewer project. Two structures will be built around the blowers and UV lighting. A drainage tile will be put in so that runoff water does not get into the lagoon. The council voted to approve the change orders.
The city conducted a water rate study to see if the city was charging enough or too much. The study concluded that the wholesale rate was reasonable, but decreasing was not advised. The rate residential customers are paying needs to be reviewed and revised to avoid a budget deficit.
Ryan Fletchall is in the process of taking wastewater classes to recertify his current operator certification.
There were a few new small leaks in the water tower and Fletchall suggested getting a plan for a new water tower system sooner rather than later. The city will advertise for bids.
Riley Jones passed his water certification test.
Tyson Troutwine reported filling up the gas tanks at the city barn before the gas prices went up.
The city has been cleaning ditches and cutting shoulders.
The council voted to accept a bid from Whipp Sales & Service for a Kubota Skid Steer for $54,300 pending Tyson’s approval.
The council voted to accept a bid for Chip Seal from Approved Paving for $89,150 contingent on July 15th completion. If not completed by July 15th, the council reserves the right to cancel acceptance of the proposal.
Alderman Kevin Kobbe discussed having hydrant meters available to customers so they do not have to pay extra sewer fees on water used to water grass and gardens. Albany issued meters to customers and the city applies a discount to their bill when they are returned.
Alderman Lenny Campbell had an individual ask him about having a camper sewer cleanout. The council said that would be OK if there was a sewer main close enough.
The council approved building permits for Lenny Campbell and Shelby Hansen.
