Finance and Utilities Committees was reconvened by Utilities Chair Person Don Niezgodski at 4:10 p.m. in the Council informal meeting room. • Persons in attendance included Council Members Niezgodski, Puzzello, Slavinskas, Zakrzewski, Luecke, Voorde, Coleman and Soderberg; John Leisenring, John Leszczynski, Steve White, Jack Dillon, Bob Kruszynski, Katie Humphreys, and Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand. Council Member Niezgodski noted that the purpose of the meeting was to continue to review the enterprise proposed budgets for 1989 . Mr. Jack Dillon was then asked to make the. formal presentation. Sewage Works General - Bureau of Waste Water - pages 12 - 14 $4,715, 135 - 6.8% increase. Mr. Dillon noted that in the 110 accounts the "Project Engineer" would computerize the Bureau and would be moved to this position by January 1, 1989. The "Suprintendant III" would be the liason between Tenec, the plant, and the construction crews. He noted that the 89 figures are correct and the 88 figures are in error. In response to a question raised by Council Member • Slavinskas it was noted that line item 147 entitled "Group Insurance" in the amount of $135,975 representing a 72 .4% increase was an actual calculated amount. In response to a question raised by Council Member Niezgodski it was noted that line item 363 "Equipment Repair" in the amount of $110, 000 represented a 76. 6% increase. This amount would be used to totally bebuild one diesel pump engine and blower at $45, 000 in the compressor room. It is anticipated that the project would take between 6 to 8 months. In response to a question raised by Council Member Soderberg it was noted that the plant uses all of its methane generated and that it is used to run the diesel blowers. One diesel blower runs at a time and it is designed as a redundant system. In response to a question raised by Council Member Voorde it was noted that the design prepared by Tenec and selected by the City was selected because it was the most cost effective method. This was further justified when Value Engineering reviewed the recommendation.
