Page 2 <br /> Special meeting of the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br /> May 30, 2000 <br /> John Dietz noted that he is opposed to anything other than the 3.21% across the <br /> board increase, which was awarded to the electric line crew. <br /> James Tralle moved to re-evaluate the points for the Utility Worker positions. <br /> The motion died due to the lack of a second. <br /> Staff was directed to re-visit the issue of points in relation to the Utility Worker <br /> positions in the fall of 2000. <br /> 4.2 Review and Consider Bids for Underground Electric Cable Installation Elk <br /> River Crossings Development <br /> Staff and Commission reviewed the Bid Tabulation for the Underground <br /> Electrical Cable Installation for Elk River Crossings. Staff views the bids as very good, <br /> and recommends the Bid be awarded to the apparent low bidder, Aconite Corporation at <br /> $28,225.00. George asked about the cost of junction boxes, and was responded to by <br /> Bryan Adams and Glenn Sundeen. <br /> James Tralle moved to award the Bid for Underground Electric Cable Installation <br /> for Elk River Crossings to Aconite Corporation. George Zabee seconded the motion. <br /> Motion carried 3-0. <br /> 5.1 Review and Consider Eastern Area Water Pressure Zone Re-Configuration <br /> Low water pressure in the Trott Brook Farm development area has led to concern <br /> with the further development of the eastern area. Staff has directed Howard R. Green <br /> Company personnel to review the situation and present their findings and opinions to the <br /> Commission. The study concluded that due to the higher ground elevation north of <br /> County Road 12, and East of the new Tyler Street, the lower pressure water system <br /> cannot adequately serve the area. The high water pressure system will be required to <br /> serve this area. In order to provide a high pressure water system to this area, the system <br /> operation must be modified along with approximately $1,327,00.00 of new construction. <br /> Some of these costs can be delayed and some of these costs may be developer paid. A <br /> detailed discussion followed. <br /> James Tralle moved to install pressure reducing valves in the Elk Hills Addition, <br /> Barrington Place, and Johnson Plat areas for approximately $32,000.00. George Zabee <br /> seconded the motion. Motion carried 3-0. This will allow this area to be converted from <br /> the low pressure system, to the high pressure system. <br />
