CITY OFSOUTH BEND OFFICE OF THE CLERK Ameritech Lift Station, an upgrade there as well. We are replacing a control plan on pumps. At the Waste Water Treatment Plant, we are doing a stabilization project there and that is along the St. Joseph River bank next to the coordination of our discharge back to the river. This is actually phase three (3) including some vegetation and some tree planting. The Douglas Road Lift Station relocation is part of the Douglas Road widening project. That is scheduled for late 2020 and we are relocating our lift station in order to make way for the new road. We also have quite a few Water Capital projects. Many of these were funded by TIF. This is part of the rate increase and the allocation of TIF dollars over the past two (2) years to get some of these projects started. We will be getting ready to bid out the Edison Filtration Roof Repair this summer. There will be some decent improvements at the Olive Station. These are chemical fluoride upgrades to the treatment plant. Similarly, we've done some chemical fluoride equipment change out at Cleveland Well and those are those smaller quote projects. We anticipate bidding maybe a portion of South Well Field improvements. There is a new water main in that project as well as a new high service pump and some updates to the disinfection process. So, there are some property acquisition issues there and we are working through those in order to get the real estate to build our water main. SR-23 from US-20 to Mayflower is a new water main and that will close the loop. It involves, really, two (2) phases. We are looking at fitting the first (1st) phase into this fall and winter or the water main under the Bypass, and then remaining second (2nd) phase will take us all the way down to close the loop on Prairie. We have a couple other projects coming up. The Pinhook Water Treatment Plant, we will be looking at replacing valves, motors and the air handling system. We have some piping work to do at North Station and our Fellows Project will come online after the South Well Field because we need one (1) to do the other. So, there is a lot going on with the Water side of things. She went on, So, Light Up South Bend, you all know this project well. We are getting ready to kick off. Of course, we have the annual portion of this program which is partnering with I&M. I believe we've presented some preliminary districts to Councilmembers Scott and White. We are still working on that now.We also have,of course,the Lamppost Program which will involve solar lights this summer. We will have two (2) new target areas this year. We've got the boundaries listed there(referencing a slide in the presentation). We anticipate it to be a ninety-ten(90-10)cost share, so, it kind of helps residents to get a little bit of a reduced rate on the solar lamp. We plan to get that out soon. We are also working on some traffic calming. This year's budget is $250,000. We are working in numerous neighborhoods. There is some work happening along Riverside, the Harter Heights neighborhood, the Walnut Grove and the Monroe Park neighborhood. There are also continuous requests from other neighborhoods, so, we are trying to look at some comprehensive programs for those neighborhoods. We also received a grant recently from the State from the State Health Department which will help us look into some communities over by Madison School on Park and Riverside. And there is another grant we applied for to help us do some other potential traffic calming in neighborhoods that have higher ages. So, Walnut Grove would be a really good candidate for that.This year's Curb and Sidewalk Reimbursement Program will have a new structure so that we can assist some residents in an additional way. The first (1st) line and column (referencing a slide in the presentation) should be the traditional which is fifteen dollars or twenty dollars ($15/$20) per foot for curb and sidewalk reimbursement. Then the next section should be your target area where we doubled that reimbursement rate. Followed by the addition of non-homeowner business, so, we have added that category this year. We've had many requests in the past from churches and schools, this gives an opportunity for them to participate. And then, of course, back to the traditional and target area,just looking for another opportunity to encourage residents to take advantage of the program and make it more affordable.
