Resolution 9090 – Approval of the Purchase of a Camera Inspection System for the Sanitary Sewer Department. Public Works Director Peterson requested the Council approve the purchase of a camera inspection system for the Sanitary Sewer Department. He explained the City had 44 miles of sanitary sewer system and noted these lines were inspected on a five-year rotation. He commented the City’s original software was purchased in 2005 and the camera was purchased in 2004. He noted this equipment was in need replacement. He reported staff solicited bids from the Minnesota Cooperative Purchasing Program. He reviewed the bids that were received noting staff recommended the Council approve the bid from McQueen. It was noted the City would be trading in its existing camera van which would assist in lowering the expense for the camera inspection system. He explained this purchase came in over budget and discussed how staff would shift around several purchases in order to adjust the budget to make this purchase in 2019. Mayor Mueller thanked staff for reviewing the Public Works equipment purchases to find the dollars needed for this expenditure. MOTION/SECOND: Meehlhause/Gunn. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 9090 – Approval of the Purchase of a Camera Inspection System for the Sanitary Sewer Department. Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. D. Resolution 9091 – Authorizing AE2S (Advanced Engineering and Environmental Services, Inc.) to Perform a Water Study and Continue Preparing a Water Management Program for the Water Infrastructure. Public Works Director Peterson requested the Council authorize AE2S to perform a water study and continue preparing a water management program for the City’s water infrastructure. He explained the Council has discussed this topic at several worksession meetings. He indicated some of the City’s water infrastructure parts were 25+ years old and were in need of replacement. He stated this led staff to request the Council complete a water study in order to begin planning for the proper replacement of this infrastructure. He reported the expense for this project came in slightly over budget and a budget adjustment would need to be made to the Water Treatment Fund Budget. Council Member Meehlhause asked if the City had an adequate amount of funds available to make the budget adjustment. Public Works Director Peterson stated the City did have the funds necessary to cover the overage.
