Council Minutes September 6, 1983 Page Five to accomplish the same results, it would require a 2 phase solution. Mr. Maurer indicated that the sanitary sewer could be rerouted from Holt to Gates along 3rd Street and then down to Main and then next year it would be connected with the sanitary sewer in Main Street and routed to the lift station on Evans. Mr. Maurer indicated that they are proposing a 12 inch plastic line to replace the 8 inch clay line which would eliminate the infiltration problems with the old line. Mr. Maurer indicated that the total change order would be approximately $31,000. Councilmember Duitsman questioned the capacity of the Evans Street Lift Station with the current flow, the proposed change by the change order, and the future predictions for added flow. Terry Maurer indicated that the lift station had plenty of room for added capacity and that the small amount that would be rerouted to that lift station is not significant. Discussion was carried on regarding the means of paying for the rerouting of the sanitary sewer line. The City Administrator indicated that typically that type of cost is assessed and further indicated that it could be included in the project cost at this time and assessed with the Main Street Project next year. It was the consensus of the City Council to include the change order cost into the cost of the Gates Avenue Project and consider assessing the sanitary sewer cost with the Main Street Project. COUNCILMEMBER DUITSMAN MOVED TO APPROVE A CHANGE ORDER FOR THE REROUTING OF SANITARY SEWER IN THE AMOUNT OF $31,887. COUNCILMEMBER SCHULDT SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION PASSED 4-0.
