UTILITIES COMMITTEE JuIV 28, 2014 5:49 P.M. <br />Committee Members Present: Dr. David Varner, Valerie Schey, Dr. Fred Ferlic, Karen White <br />Citizen Members Present: Chris Huff <br />Other Council: Tim Scott, Henry Davis (AB), Oliver Davis, Derek Dieter, <br />Gavin Ferlic <br />Others: Eric Horvath <br />Agenda: Bill 36 -14 Amend Chapter 17 Article 2, EPA Recommendations <br />The Utilities Committee was called to order by Chairman Dr. David Varner with all members present. <br />There was but one item on the agenda, bill 36 -14, a bill to amend Chapter 17 of the Code addressing the <br />City's Industrial Pretreatment Program. <br />The Director of Public Works Eric Horvath explained the proposed revisions. He said the EPA required <br />the City to implement wastewater standards for discharges from significant industrial users. These <br />standards are designed to protect both the Wastewater Treatment Plant and the St. Joseph River. <br />Earlier in the year the city adopted standards, submitted them for review to the EPA. This bill reflects <br />minor revisions to those standards based upon that review. <br />Other than a few clarifying answers to Council questions there was little discussion. <br />On a motion by Karen White seconded by Dr. Ferlic the bill was sent to full Council with a favorable <br />recommendation having been affirmed by all. <br />Dr. Varner adjourned at 5:45 P.M. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />avid Varner, Chairperson <br />Utilities Committee <br />
