ity of <br /> <br />iver <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Item #5.5. <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Mayor & City Council ~j <br /> Klaers, City Administratd~ <br />Pat <br /> <br />January 10, 2000 <br /> <br />WWTS Lift Station Alarm System <br /> <br />City Engineer Terry Maurer, WWTS Chief Operator Gary Leirmoe, and I have <br />met to discuss the alarm system needs for the city lift station system. Initially <br />this issue was discussed with Finance Director Lori Johnson during the budget <br />process and we had a sense early on that the best bid, product, and service <br />would ultimately be coming from the Municipal Utilities. Utilities General <br />Manager Bryan Adams has provided us with a quote for installing the lift <br />station alarm system and identified the maintenance/operating expenses. <br />Without a doubt, an improved alarm/early warning system is needed to protect <br />the city's investment in the lift stations and to protect our citizens so that <br />back-ups can be prevented as much as possible. City Engineer Terry Maurer <br />will be in attendance at the City Council meeting to answer questions the <br />council may have regarding this proposal. <br /> <br />The estimate in the budget was $20,000 for this capital improvement. Since <br />the cost is more than this amount, the balance will have to be funded from the <br />WWTS reserve, which has sufficient funds for this expenditure. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />Please see the recommendation in the attached memo from Chief Operator <br />Gary Leirmoe. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
