Chattanooga City Council Agenda Session — 06-14-22
A
Questions
on
those
two
items:
I'm
not
going
to
have
you
read
the
firms
until
this
evening,
but
I
want
to
thank
the
city
attorney's
office
for
adding
in
the
firms
for
into
the
caption
that
was
missing
from
this
morning.
That
was
a
great
addition
under
mayor's
office.
We
do
have
two
appointments
to
the
beer
and
record
board.
Madam
attorney.
They're
short,
if
you
don't
mind,
read
those
of
course.
B
Item
e,
a
resolution
confirming
mayor
kelly's
appointment
of
terra
villain
to
the
beer
and
record
board
for
district
2
with
the
term
expiration
of
july
31st.
2024
item
f,
a
resolution
confirming
mayor
kelly's
appointment
of
owen
seton
to
the
buren
record
board
for
district
one
with
the
term
expiration
of
july
31.
2024.
A
All
right,
seeing
no
lights,
we
do
have
a
planning
item
for
a
planned
unit
development.
We
will
cover
this
evening.
So
no
reason
to
read
that
unless
council
requests
it
will
move
into
purchasing
questions.
I
believe
we
have
13
purchases
for
this
evening
and
one
request
for
proposal
you've
had
that
in
your
packet
this
week.
Do
you
have
any
questions,
counsel
on
purchases
or
the
request
for
proposal?
C
C

A
B
Item
h,
a
resolution
authorizing
the
administrator
for
the
department
of
public
works
to
approve
change
order
number
one
with
davis,
key
outdoor
of
chattanooga
tennessee
for
a
contract
number
y15008,
204,
avondale,
youth
and
family
development
center
landscaping
project
for
an
increase
of
eleven
thousand
seven
dollars
for
final
reconciliation
of
unit
pay
items
for
a
revised
contract
amount
of
one
hundred.
Nineteen
thousand
nine
hundred
two
dollars
item.
B
I
a
resolution
authorizing
the
administrator
for
the
department
of
public
works
to
award
a
continuing
on-call
professional
surveying
services,
blanket
contract
number
e
22002-901
with
the
following
eight
consultant
firms,
asa
engineering
and
consulting
barge
design
solutions.
Sensor
engineers,
kroy
engineering,
earthworks
reagan,
smith,
associates
the
rls
group
vaughn
and
melton
consulting
engineers
based
on
their
qualifications
within
the
identified
service
categories
for
one
year
of
a
four-year
term,
for
an
annual
amount
of
1
million
for
use
by
all
departments.
B
E
Important
pouring
out
is
the
success
of
this
program
mark
overseeing
the
wastewater
system
entirely
and
then
bill
before,
during
and
after
overseeing
the
the
projects
as
city
engineer
in
this
very
large
and
very
important
program.
I'd
also
like
to
introduce
mike
marino,
who's
area
manager
for
jacobs
and,
more
importantly,
the
city's
project
pre-program
our
claire
chattanooga
program.
So
he
and
his
staff
provide
a
lot
of
help
in
getting
these
projects
done
and
figuring
out
how
and
where
to
do
the
projects
in
the
overall
program.
E
E
E
E
The
program
overview
of
the
goals,
obviously
to
comply
with
all
the
different
parts
of
the
consent
decree
to
reduce
overall
inflow
and
infiltration
and
engineering
term
that
I
try
not
to
use
basically
that's
when
our
pipes
leak
from
outside
in
so
that
rain,
water
and
groundwater
enter
our
pipes
and
then
have
to
and
then
go
to
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
and
put
a
tremendous
load
on
our
ability
to
treat
water
and
increase
the
volume
of
what
goes
through.
A
wastewater
plant
number
three
to
eliminate
chronic
sanitary
sewer
overflows
in
the
system.
E
E
In
the
old
days,
the
storm
water
systems
and
the
sanitary
sewers
in
their
systems
were
the
same
system
and
in
older
sections
of
our
community.
They
still
are
so
in
parts
of
chattanooga
when
it
rains
and
water
collects
on
the
roof
and
goes
into
drain
pipes
when
water
collects
in
the
street
and
goes
into
catch
basin
that
rain
water
goes
also
into
our
sanitary
sewer
pipes
and
then
goes
to
the
wastewater
treatment
plant.
E
E
The
city
of
chattanooga,
chose
to
go
another
direction,
which
is
the
more
common
direction,
is
to
build
reservoirs
and
facilities
to
trap
that
excess
flow,
so
that
we
can
treat
it
at
the
wastewater
plant
in
in
over
time
and
not
just
on
the
day.
It
rains
number
five
is
equalization
stations.
The
concept
there
is
so
that
all
the
rain
water,
all
the
heavy
flow,
doesn't
hit
the
wastewater
plant
at
the
same
time
and
that
over
the
geographic
area,
it's
it's
it's
kind
of
spread
out
over
time
and
over
distance.
E
G
Thank
you
tom,
good
afternoon,
council.
It's
good
to
be
with
you
today
so
to
to
continue.
So,
as
tom
mentioned,
there
are
two
different
phases
in
the
consent
decree.
The
this
slide
shows
the
submittals
that
are
required.
So
there
are
specific
reporting
and
other
milestones
that
are
required
this
just
this
is
showing
that
we
are
100
in
compliance
with
all
of
the
reporting.
G
To
date
we
have,
there
is
still
one
remaining
submittal
for
phase
one
that
is
still
yet
to
yet
to
be
submitted,
which
we'll
wrap
that
one
up
and
then
we
have
submitted
eleven
of
the
required
submittals
that
are
due
so
far
in
phase
two
phase.
Two
is
a
ten-year
time
period,
so
it
spans
from
2020
to
2030.
G
This
slide
shows
shows
the
progression
of
the
different
projects
so
phase.
One
consisted
of
74
total
projects
of
those
70
are
completed
and
four
are
currently
remaining
in
construction
and
then
phase
two
is
65
different
projects,
and
you
can
see
the
variety
of
of
different
phases.
Those
are
in
all
the
way
from
concept
all
the
way
through
completion.
So
six
of
those
already
having
been
completed
along
the
way.
G
G
Council
has
has
approved
us
to
apply
for
wifi
loans,
which
is
water,
infrastructure,
financing,
improvement
act
which
is
epa
funding.
There
are
four
major
projects
just
to
highlight
those.
I
know.
We've
we've
presented
those
to
you
before
at
certain
steps
along
the
way,
but
just
as
a
as
reminder-
because
these
are
these-
do
represent
337
million
dollars
in
in
total
project
costs.
That
is
the
e2i2
program,
which
is
the
environmental
and
economic
infrastructure
improvements
which
are
in
conjunction
with
the
hamilton
county,
water
and
wastewater
treatment
authority
and
the
industrial
development
board.
G
G
This
is
a
just
an
aerial
overview
of
the
of
the
wastewater
treatment
plant.
I
mentioned
the
all
of
the
wet
weather
capacity
improvements
that
are
there,
the
orange
or
yellow
circles,
depending
on,
I
think,
their
orange
on
on
on
your
screen.
The
way
the
the
color
translates.
Those
just
represent
the
various
different
areas
that
are
there
just
to
give
you
an
idea
that
construction
is
expected
to
start
in
2024
and
again
wrap
up
by
the
winner
of
2026.
G
Slide
shows
in
green
all
of
the
different
project
locations
for
the
phase,
one
of
the
consent
decree
the
blue
represents
areas
which
we
are
moving
into
and
focusing
on.
Next,
the
shaded
areas
represent
large
basins
where
there
are
underground
pipes
that
we
need
to
seal
up
the
the
dots
and
circles
that
you
see
represent
pump
stations
and
other
just
singular
spot
places
of
infrastructure.
G
There
are
approximately
20
of
those
different
shaded
areas
and
basins,
plus
all
of
the
additional
pump
stations,
all
of
which
need
to
be
looked
at
as
we
go
into
those
next
phases
and
just
to
give
an
example
of
of
what
that
looks
like
this
is
the
shelford
road.
We
currently
have
a
chronic
sanitary
sewer
overflow
that
that
occurs
along
shallow
for
road.
This
is
part
of
the
phase
two
of
the
consent
decree
to
be
addressed
during
this
time
period.
G
We
have
a
project
which
will
schedule
for
this,
this
coming
fiscal
year
in
fiscal
23
to
actually
do
rehabilitation
on
the
pipes
that
are
in
that
area
in
order
to
reduce
that
leaking
and
infiltrating
water.
That's
coming
into
the
system
in
order
to
reduce
that
that
overflow
and
get
it
so
that
we
can
then
move
along
into
continuing
stages
as
we
work
to
eliminate
and
reduce
that
overflow.
G
This
slide
represents
is
probably
the
probably
the
best
overall
representation
of
the
the
total
impacts
of
the
dollars
that
are
in
the
projects
that
are
being
spent.
This
begins
in
2017
and,
as
you
can
see,
the
blue
line
on
the
top
represents
that
rainfall
amounts
in
that
time
period
have
increased
by
11,
but
the
cumulative
effect
of
all
the
work
that
has
been
been
performed.
We
actually
have
decreased
the
total
volume.
The
total
is
essentially,
the
total
number
of
gallons
of
wastewater
that
have
overflowed,
has
reduced
by
82
percent
over
that
same
time
period.
G
Just
a
quick
highlight
for
you,
some
of
the
council
may
recall
the
solar
panel
project
that
was
installed
out
at
the
treatment
plant.
It's
already
giving
us
returns
on
our
investment.
Our
average
monthly
savings
represent
8.6
in
the
the
monthly
savings
that
we've
already
seen
in
reduction
in
our
in
our
purchase
power
bills,
and
then
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
for
the
council
the
this
is
an
aerial
view
of
the
equalization
basins
actually
out
at
the
treatment
plant.
G
There
are
a
series
of
blowers
there.
They
consume
about
19
of
the
total
plant
electricity
usage
and
there
is
an
ongoing
project
that
is
working
on
that
which,
with
the
upgrades
and
the
changes
there,
we
anticipate
potential
savings
of
up
to
24
of
additional
electricity
usage,
energy
usage
reductions,
in
addition
to
providing
another
more
than
eight
million
gallons
of
additional
storage
for
wet
weathers
and
then,
finally,
what's
next
for
the
consent
decree.
So
obviously
it's
very
challenging,
as
we
all
know,
in
the
current
economic
climate.
G
We
have
a
time
extension
within
the
consent
decree
which
is
for
our
capacity
assurance
program
and
for
the
west
bank
sewer
overflow
and
those
are
tied
directly
to
the
the
e2
i2
agreement
with
with
hamilton
county
wwta.
So
that's
the
reason
for
that
time.
Extension
is
because
those
are
those
are
all
very
closely
and.
G
G
F
A
A
And
can
you
explain
a
little
bit
that
would
help
us
to
cliff
note
how
and
how
much
longer
this
will
take
to
get
out
of
I
mean
we
cleared
the
first
hurdle
on
phase
one,
and
that
is
a
really
big
achievement
and
it's
a
very
expensive
project,
and
also
it's
also
probably
very
important
to
know
it's
not
like.
We
have
a
choice,
that's
something
we
have
to
do,
and
that's
also
something
that
I
try
to
explain
to
folks.
Can
you
kind
of
take
that
and
run
with
it
for
a
second.
G
Sure,
and,
and-
and
certainly
we
know,
this
is,
this
is
certainly
had
its
had
its
share
of
of
burdens
on
the
ratepayers,
and
there
have
been
a
series
of
rate
increases
over
over
many
years
since
this
started
in
order
to
be
able
to
raise
the
funds
that
were
necessary
both
for
the
cash
we
needed,
as
we
as
we
go
along,
as
well
as
to
pay
off
the
debt
service
for
the
others.
A
lot
of
these
projects
I
mentioned,
obviously
some
very
expensive
projects
that
are
there.
G
There
is
a
significant
amount,
though,
of
that
funding
that
we
have
had
to
accumulate
in
advance
of
these
expensive
projects,
so
we
are
sort
of
at
the
cusp
of
being
able
to
say,
and,
for
example,
in
this
year's
wastewater
budget
that
rate
this
year's
rate
increase
is
smaller
than
than
previous
year.
So
it's
only
six
percent
for
this
coming
year.
G
You
know
we
certainly,
you
know,
hope
to
be
able
to
continue
and
let
that
become
a
trend,
so
that
so
that
it
is
less
and
less
the
majority
of
our
projects,
though
our
most
expensive
projects
are
right
in
front
of
us
and
a
lot
of
that
money
is
already
either
either
in
hand
from
the
past
rate
increases
or
it's
coming
to
us
in
the
form
of
the
wifi
loans
and
the
srf
project.
So
you
know
it
is.
G
E
G
Don't
wind
up
in
this
situation
again,
I
think
that's
really.
The
biggest
takeaway
is
part
of
the
reason
we
wound
up
here
is
because
there
were
things
that
sort
of
got
pushed
down
the
road
a
little
bit
in
the
past
before
the
consent
decree
got
started,
and
so
we
don't
want
that
to
happen
again.
So
we
will
certainly
keep
those
things
keep
our
on
the
ball
as
we
move
those
forward
sure.
E
E
If
you
look
at
other
revenue
sources
that
local
governments
all
governments
face,
the
main
ones
are
property
taxes,
sales,
taxes,
income
taxes,
those
all
self-correct,
self-adjust
with
inflation
right.
So
you
know
when
somebody
says
hey:
we
didn't
raise
income
tax
this
year
when
the
federal
government
says
we're
not
raising
income
tax
yeah,
they
are
because
everybody
makes
a
little
bit
more
money
in
their
pay.
Take
home
check
and
the
percentages
are
the
same.
E
E
We
have
to
come
back
every
year
and
increase
rates
to
keep
up
with
inflation
if
for
no
other
reason,
so
the
six
percent
that
we
have
baked
into
the
budget,
that's
working
through
your
approval
includes
a
healthy
dose
of
inflation,
and
then
it
also
does
include
a
smaller
percentage
for
this
program
correct.
So
it's
it's
both
because.
G
H
H
G
There's
there's
not
any
projects
that
are
outside
the
city
limits
now,
of
course,
the
the
the
e2
i2
program
is
a
joint
program
with
hamilton
county
wwta,
but
it's
a
cost-sharing
program.
You
know
so
I
mean
they.
They,
I
think
it's
it's
a
60
40
split
and
that
which
has
to
do
with
the
volumes
that
are
involved
not
because
of
any
other
reason,
but
it
just
has
to
do
with
our
needs
in
a
particular
area,
their
needs
in
an
adjacent
area
and
then
working
on
a
joint
project.
F
G
Certainly,
you
know
there
are
some
some
assets
that
we
own,
which
are
outside
of
the
you
know.
Chattanooga
city
limits
proper,
but
they've
been
there
for
years
and
that's
those
are
connection
points
with
the
satellite
communities
from
north
georgia
and
other
places
where
we
do.
We
may
own
property
and
own
and
maintain
assets
that
are
outside
the
city
limits.
I'm
trying
to
make
sure
I'm
understanding
exactly.
But
I
I
couldn't
say
at
all
what
types
of
dollars
we're.
H
H
Correct
so
the
other
question
related
to
that
is,
I
know,
wwta's
going
through
the
same
issues
with
ini
and
I'm
sure
there's
plenty
of
money
being
allocated
or
at
least
being
requested
to
be
spent
there.
But
since
we
are
on
the
receiving
end
of
their
problem
for
lack
of
a
better
term,
do
we
feel
like
the
fees,
not
just
our
ratepayers
being
our
taxpayers,
but
our
ratepayers
being
other
agencies,
governments
that
may
be
using
our
wastewater
plant?
H
G
G
We
could
different
ones
are
in
different
stages
of
that,
so
certainly
to
the
extent
that
that
our
wheelage
and
treatment
numbers
are
being
adjusted
and
they're,
not
governed
by
the
specific
terms
of
one
of
those
enter
those
inter-jurisdictional
agreements,
then
then
you
know
there
are
adjustments
related
to
those
but
they're.
All
each
one
has
been
signed
and
negotiated
at
different
times,
so
they

I

tom's
comment
about

may

some
of
our
largest
ratepayers
aren't

the
pain
that
our
small
rate
payers
are,
and

just
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
everybody
is
putting
their
share
into
the
system
that
we're
having
to
maintain.
