D. City Owned Communal Treatment Systems — Functional Evaluation Proposal The City Planner noted that the City owned 201 Communal Wastewater Systems have been in place about 17 years. While the City regularly monitors the mechanical operations of the systems and has repaired several equipment failures over the years, no comprehensive evaluation of the systems has been undertaken since their construction. At the request of staff, North American has prepared a proposal to both conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the Communal 201 systems; and, develops a management and maintenance plan for those systems that will maximize their useful life. The funding of this work would be from the Sewer Enterprise Fund.

CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: A. IT Contract The City Administrator reported that Bill Keran has terminated his employment with CIT. Mr. Keran has done about 90% of the service for the City's networking program. The Administrator asked Mr. Keran if he was going to freelance. The Administrator and Finance Director thought this would be a good deal for the City that will save considerable money for maintenance needs and upgrades down the line.
