prepared the Joint Wastewater Treatment Facility Comprehensive Plan gave overview
of the Comprehensive Plan. Included in discussion was population and flow
projections, description of existing facility, description of facility
deficiencies, facility upgrade and expansion recommendations;
Councilmembers and Commissioners discussion included, but was not necessarily
limited to: (1) current and anticipated needs of the Joint Wastewater Treatment
Facility; (2) agreement that the safety of treatment plant personnel and the
neighbors is the first priority; (3) the need to careful, intelligently review
Comprehensive Plan recommendations to ascertain which are in the best interest of
the District, City and facility users.
Commissioners and Councilmembers also agreed that while the treatment facility is
properly operated and consistently meets National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) standards, it is not in a crisis situation. They directed Plant
Manager and City Engineer to assess Comprehensive Plan upgrade recommendations,
recommend budgetary priorities (with safety first) and make additional
recommendations to further increase operational efficiency.
Meeting adjourned at 8:54 PM.
