The first item was a request for a sign variance by Jeff Stanley. The

could be seen. A motion was made by Jim May and seconded by Chet
Phillips recommending to the City Council the approval of the request.

Public Works - Water and Sewer Committee
Jim May, Chairman
The first item was a request from Gary Orwig for an electrical breaker
at the Kilroy lift station. He stated it has been ordered and will be
three to four weeks before it is in. The cost is $2,120 from Mutual
Electric. He also stated that the insurance will not cover this
expense due to the fact that it was caused by flooding. A motion was
made by Chet Phillips and seconded by Dick Coay recommending approval
of the expenditure. Voice vote. Motion carried.
Mayor Edwards stated that he, Pat Wright and Harlan Banister had met
with CMT in Springfield and talked to the bonding counsel attorney
concerning the bonds for the sewer project. He stated he has handed
out a memo concerning the need for an increase of water and sewer
rates in three 5 year increments. Mayor Edwards stated that the rates
could be re-evaluated by the council at the end of the 15 year period.
The ordinance to increase the rates will be on the next City Council
agenda and due to the time frame will need suspension of the rules for
passage. No action was taken by the Committee on this matter.
At this time Clark Wilson addressed the Committee on behalf of the
public works union. Mr. Wilson stated that the membership is
concerned with the agenda of items for negotiations. Mayor Edwards
stated that a meeting is scheduled for this evening at 8:00 p.m. and
he plans on attending the meeting. No action was necessary at this
time by the Committee.
No further business was discussed and the Public Works - Water and
Sewer Committee was adjourned.
Kayma Duncan - Committee Secretary
