Gary Heinking of CM&T the young engineer who did most of the design work on our sewer plant passed away. He was a very good engineer and a very intelligent young man.

On the sidewalk project, we have arranged to have the contractor pour concrete in the band shell pit on the square. And as soon as he has started, will be removing sidewalks on both sides of South Main. These are hit and misses. The MFT contractor is back in town, he will do the sealing and chipping work. The state has approved our being pass the September 15 deadline. Will be pouring the footings for the extension on the lift station at the Enterprise Park, which is the building were putting over the pump station. Met with Daily & Associates on the dam. I have taken the liberty of turning over to them what I'm expecting to be remaining work on that project. They have to come back to the city and get approval by an agreement to perform any further work after this report is given to us in its final stage. They have give us a preliminary report this summer. I have been the one holding up the completion of that, we wanted to incorporate in that report a design for the sludge tank at the Water Plant. I had intended to design these myself. I'm running out of time. Daily & Associates will give us a cost for doing this engineering work in the design state and adding it to what we've already done with the Intake Tower. Have one letting for the intake lime, toe drains, the filling in of the sludge pits with dirt and the construction of a new concrete sludge tank. ~ ~ ~ CONTINUED September 16, 1986 COMMITTEE REPORTS: Finance.

Jim Malmgren ~ City Attorney said the map includes all of the changes which have already been made by ordinance to that map since November ~ 1976. Normally the changes would be automatically = incorporated into the map as the properties annexed into m the city and zoned, or, as the property is rezoned. This a had not been consistenly done. After passage of some ten years I thought it appropriate to bring the map to the council for your approval by ordinance. There has been notice by publication in the newspaper and the zoning map has been approved by the Planning & Zoning Commission as well. There are several errors in the 1976 zoning map which have not been corrected in this, I've talked about those in the past. The only change made in this map which has not come before previously by way of ordinance, is the change in rezoning of 2 parcels situated at the S.E. corner of Main and Olive from R-4 (Multiple Family) to B-2 (General Business) District. Motion by Alderman Zilly, second by Alderman Kovachevich, the ordinance be placed on its passage. Roll call. AYES - Aldermen Chapman, May, Bohler, Workman, Sarff, Steck, Zilly, Kovachevich.
