Keith Plavec explained that it would be important to work with CEFCU to allow enough space on the sidewalk for pedestrians to get around the vehicles on the sidewalks.

The motion carried by voice vote and was unanimous. HANDICAPPED PARKING-GOOD WILL Restrictions in front of the Good Will store were discussed. Alderman Fritz indicated that he received a request to lift the restrictions from 2 hour parking to additional hours so a handicapped employee can park in front of the store. Discussion followed with regard to adjusting the parking area restrictions around town and providing some other alternatives to longer handicapped parking. Keith Plavec further explained that a solution to the two hour parking would be to put in a handicapped space on the first space closest to Goodwill. Chief Taylor suggested either leaving it the way it is now or lift the two hour parking. Motion and second were made by Aldermen Nelson/Fritz to lift the two hour parking between First Avenue and the east side of the square on both the north and south side of the street. The motion carried by voice vote and was unanimous. Streets and Garbage committee adjourned at 6:45pm. LAKE, BU/LD/NGS & GROUNDS - ALDERMAN ER/C SCHENCK CHAIRMAN Nothing for Council action. PUBL/C WORKS, WATER & SEWER - ALDERMAN GERALD ELLIS CHA/RMAN DIXON ENGINEERING MAINTENANCE INSPECTION CONTRACT FOR 1 500 000 GALLON STANDPIPE OPTION 2 Keith Plavec reported that about 12 years ago the stand pipe was repainted and has not been inspected since that time. We are working with Gregg to budget money to get another inspection on the standpipe and also the other tower. Two options were presented. Option #1 was that it may be done by emptying the tank and do a full inspection and Option #2 is leave water in it and have divers do it rather than draining it. Our recommendation is to have the divers do it and draw it down, at a cost of $2,955.00, and it is a budgeted item, not a bond expense. Motion and second were made by Aldermen Ellis/Nelson to approve option #2 at a cost of $2955.00 ROLL CALL Yes No Absent Alderman Pickel x Alderman Hartford x Alderman Schenck x Alderman Pasley X Alderman West x Alderman Fritz x Alderman Ellis x Alderman Nelson x The Motion Carried. DIXON ENGINEERING MAINTENANCE INSPECTION CONTRACT FOR 150 000 GALLON CONE TANK OPTION 1 52510.00 Keith Plavec explained that the tank will be drained.

FILTER DEMOLITION AND CHANGE AT WTP Keith explained that #1 and #3 filters were going to be rehabbed. During the process we found a problem with the material and everything has to be removed and we have to redo the bottom part of the filter. The cost is broken down in three sections: Demolition cost is $16,400 Installation cost is $23,400 Under drain cost is $27,100 Total costs for that one filter is $66,900. The original bid for the two filters was for $39,306.00. After meeting with Gregg and their contact person we discussed that we could leave it alone and try to incorporate it with the next project. Gregg is concerned that if he does not have this filter and losses another filter then he is jeopardizing the water to the community. He thinks we need to fix it and our recommendation is to fix it. Motion and second were made by Aldermen Ellis/Hartford to approve the filter demolition and change at the WTP with All Services in the amount of $66,900.00.

The additional cost of $8,411.72 added to the original approved contract of $12,650.90 will bring the total cost of the repair to $21,062.62. This amount is lower than the original budget of $50,000.00 and most recent estimate of $25,000.00. COMMUNICATIONS FROM MAYOR KEVIN R.
