unanimously approved $200,000 in reserves from the city's Consolidated Building
Fund toward clearing of the site. This budget request in the amount of $200,000 is
for clearing of construction and demolition debris. Commission approval is

Budget Request (Water Main Hydrant and Valve Replacement)
Ms. Boyles presented a Budget Request (Water Main Hydrant and Valve
Replacement). The city's water system has approximately 585 miles of water
main, mostly consisting of cast iron; 6,500 main line valves and 5,000 fire
hydrants. Older piping is more likely to fail resulting in water loss and service
disruptions to customers, and older valves/hydrants can become inoperable
resulting in increased risks, particularly during unplanned emergencies. This
project reinstates a routine replacement program which includes some annual
funding for replacement of critical mains and associated valving and hydrants to
improve operability, reliability, reduce risks, and improve customer satisfaction.
Commission approval in the amount of $400,000 is requested.
Upon a motion by Commissioner Ferlic, seconded by Commissioner Phillips,
the motion carried unanimously, the Commission approved a Budget Request
(Water Main Hydrant and Valve Replacement) submitted on Thursday, March
28, 2019
2. Budget Request (Fellows Reservoir and Booster Station)
Ms. Boyles presented a Budget Request (Fellows Reservoir and Booster Station).
Several assets, including the reservoir roof, building roofs, Local Pumps #1, Local
Pump #3 VFD and flow meters need repair or replacement to maintain operability
and structural integrity. Proposed are upgrades and refurbishments of the 7 MG
ground reservoir roof, repair of both building roofs to maintain the structural
integrity, refurbishment of Local #1 pump and motor, replacement of the existing
variable frequency drive for Local #3 pump and replacement of both the local and
high service flow meters. Two dehumidification units are to be added to provide
better control in protecting the pumping equipment. Commission approval in the
amount of $616,000 is requested.

3. Budget Request (Ireland Tank and Booster Station)
Ms. Boyles presented a Budget Request (Ireland Tank and Booster Station). The
existing 3.5 MG storage tank is showing signs of wear and needs cleaning and
inspection to maintain operability, system reliability and to identify other needed
repairs. Other assets, including pumps and motors for Pump #1 and #2 and the
cathodic protection system (protecting the tank from corrosion) need to be
repaired or replaced to maintain operability. Commission approval in the amount
of $55,000 is requested.

4. Budget Request (New Water Main — SR23 from US 20 Bypass SW to
Mayflower)
Ms. Boyles presented a Budget Request (New Water Main — SR23 from US 20
Bypass SW to Mayflower). This will close the loop in this area and will be a 14"
water main. The project involves the installation of a new water main on SR23
from the US20 Bypass Southwest to Mayflower. The water main installation will
increase flow and system reliability as well as redundancy, and will ensure there is
proper pressure in the system as future development occurs. Commission
approval in the amount of $800,000 is requested.
