SANITARY The City Administrator reported that it appears that the installation of SEWER City watermain along Edgerton Street in 1993 has caused a sag in the REPAIR - sanitary sewer service line at 2930 Edgerton Street. The City Engineer 2930 obtained two quotes for the needed repair work with the low quote EDGERTON submitted by Kevitt Excavating in the amount of $14,841.75. The City STREET Administrator indicated that given the high cost involved, he discussed the matter with the City Engineer and it is felt that significant savings could be achieved if the work is combined with other City work. The Administrator reported that City staff would like the opportunity to try to negotiate a lower price with one of the contractors currently working in the City. If a lower price cannot be obtained, another option would be to delay the repair until next summer and include it in 2008 Improvement work. Mr. Blesener introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOL UTION N0.2007-9-216 -TABLING ACTION ON THE QUOTES RECEIVED FOR SANITARY SEWER SERVICE REPLACEMENT AT 2930 EDGERTON STREET AS REQUESTED BYTHE CITYADMINISTRATOR The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by McGraw.

The Administrator noted that a 0% Net Levy increase was discussed at that workshop meeting given the City's unexpected allocation of $225,000 in Local Government Aid (LGA). The Administrator reported that while this is good news to the City, given the volatile nature of LGA over the years, the City may or may not continue receiving LGA.
