City Council meeting of December 2, 1996 Page 6 At a previous meeting, the City Attorney requested time to review and revise the proposed ordinance regulating the construction of antennas in the City. Richard Donlon and George LaVallee reviewed the proposed ordinance, and suggested changes. Councilman Agness stated that he will not vote on the issue until he knows more about the issue. Leroux made motion, Goiffon seconded, directing the City Attorney to incorporate changes suggested by Richard Donlon and George LaVallee, and hold a public hearing to consider the revised ordinance on January 21, 1997.

VOTING AYE: Barnes, Goiffon, Leroux, Myron VOTING NAY: Agness Motion Carried. CATER METER REPLACE The Council considered an RFP, prepared by the City's maintenance supervisor, seeking bids to replace approximately 700 existing water meters. This course of action is being recommended due to concerns with the accuracy of a large number of the City's water meters, many of which are over 20 years old. Inspection replacement and repair of the approximately 700 meters in the City is estimated to cost between $35,000 and $50,000. Given expected future growth in the community, a change to the more modern telephone -read technology would be timely prior to the addition of a large number of new meters to the system. It is estimated that the telephone -read technology will save the City approximately $3.20 per unit, per year, in labor, or $64 each over the life expectancy of the meters. Project cost for this project, including meters, installation, software, and setup is $125,000. Barnes made motion, Myron seconded, to table this matter until the City Council meeting of December 16, 1996. All aye. Motion Carried.
