'TOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried Councilmember Trude asked Mike Ulrich, Public works supervisor, to give the background behind the purchase of the one -ton chlorine cylinders for Treatment Plant .#1. Mike Ulrich, Public Works Supervisor, reported that the plant was built to hold one -ton chlorine cylinders, but the City had to receive permission from the Fire Chief to install those cylinders without the installation of an air scrubber. Permission was granted. The one -ton cylinders will save $3,000 - $4,000 per year in chlorine costs, plus the fact that the cylinders will save labor time in that the cylinders will only have to be changed seven times per year, rather than 2 - 3 times per week. Ulrich explained that there were funds budgeted for other equipment that was not feasible for the City's operations, therefore, the purchase of more efficient and cost effective one -ton chlorine scales was recommended. The funds for this equipment will be taken out of the Water Capital Improvement Account, 700-4121-703.
