STORM SEWER ADVISORY TASK FORCE - RECOMMENDATION ON PUMP PURCHASE
David Notaro stated he would be speaking for Peter Sargent and presented a written
recommendation from Mr. Sargent to buy two centrifugal force pumps. He added that
he personally felt it would be a tremendous thing to have in the City.
Mayor Pickar read that statement received from Mr. Notaro. Councilmember Rowley asked
if they had addressed the question of how to determine who would get the pumps first
and time limits and priorities and so forth. Mr. Notaro replied that they would have
to address that at a later date.
Councilmember Rowley asked if the pumps would require instructions or if a maintenance
person would be required to demonstrate them to each user. Mr. Notaro replied that he
did not believe so.
Councilmember Baumgartner asked where the people using the pumps would be putting the
water. Mr. Notaro replied that he personally would pump the water to Groveland Park.
Administrator Achen stated the Council would have to set guidelines and decide how
much hose to purchase. He added that the hose was very expensive and could cost almost
as much as the pumps themselves.
Councilmember Rowley stated she would be interested in hearing comments from the citizens
who would be paying for the pumps. Mrs. Lotovich stated that she would be in favor of
having the City purchase pumps.
Councilmember Ziebarth stated he felt a time limit of 4 to 6 hours should be set on
the pumps, rather than the three days suggested in Mr. Sargent's recommendation.
Mr. Notaro replied that the Task Force is expected to come up with a recommendation
soon on the whole problem and that the pumps could possibly be used by the maintenance
department then.
