A
At
this
time
before
swearing,
our
new
members,
we
won't
have
an
opportunity
to
say
thank
you
to
some
members
who
have
served
us
with
with
a
lot
of
passion.
A
lot
of
commitment
and
insert
the
citizens
of
akin
well
and
in
the
city
is
a
better
place
because
of
it.
So
mr.
mochi
is
not
with
us
tonight,
but
we
have
councilmen
editor,
councilman
Mary.
So,
gentlemen,
if
you
would
meet
me
down
at
the
front
podium.
A
A
Know
several
members
of
council
have
already
expressed
that
they
wanted
to
have
an
opportunity
to
speak
to
you
as
well,
but
we
have
just
a
little
token
of
our
appreciation
that
says,
presented
a
Philip,
our
Mary
jr.
for
your
leadership
and
dedicated
service
in
the
city
of
Aitkin
March
25th
2013
through
November
27
2017,
presented
this
27th
day
of
November,
2017
and
Philip.
It
has
the
seal
of
our
city
on
it.
It
comes
with
the
appreciation
of
our
citizens.
Thank
you
for
all
your.
D
F
F
Along
with
to
my
left
here,
my
my
partner
fault
Mary,
who
brought
skills
in
the
development
area
and
could
always
enlighten
us
in
many
areas,
and
my
absent
partner
to
my
right
here,
had
a
variety
of
skills
based
on
his
military
background
that
he
brought
to
us.
So
while
their
skills
will
be
missed,
there
are
always
new
information
and
new
talent
coming
in,
but
we
will
sincerely
miss
you
and
miss
the
things
that
you
brought.
F
G
Thank
you,
I
would
support
those
comments.
I
think
the
mayor
talked
about
passion
and
commitment
to
the
community
and
I
know
many
of
you
realized
it's
just
not
a
job
that
we
do
every
second
and
fourth
Monday
I
can't
tell
you
how
many
times
Philip
and
Reggie
and
I
met
in
Atlantic
bread,
factory
and
then
to
Panera
just
to
talk
about
city
issues.
Philip
is
just
an
absolute
wealth
of
knowledge
when
it
comes
to
municipal
planning
and
he's
been
at
it
for
years
and
and
I
think
we
tried
to
take
full
advantage
of
it.
G
Reggie
knows
more
about
construction
management.
The
rest
of
us
combined
and
he's
been
a
source
of
invaluable
knowledge.
I
will
deeply
miss
them.
Both
I
don't
mean
to
slight
Steve.
We
talked
about
Steve
last
meeting,
but
I
will
miss
them
both
and
as
unless
he
said,
I
hope
they
stay
engaged,
but
I
have
their
telephone
numbers,
so
I'll
be
shall
be
planning
on
calling
you
both.
Thank
you
so
much.
It's
been
a
pleasure.
Thank
you.
H
I
H
I
H
H
When
you,
when
you
get
on
council,
you
you
become
part
of
a
family,
and
tonight
we
are
I,
wouldn't
say
we're
losing
part
of
our
families,
they're
just
moving
on
to
another
place
and
we're
inviting
our
new
council
members
in.
But
please
know
that
I
deeply
appreciate
everything
that
you've
done
for
our
city,
but
your
kindness
and
your
friendship
as
well.
H
A
You
thank
you,
miss
Davis,
and
with
that
we're
gonna
welcome
in
our
new
family
members
right
now.
How
I
think
it's
time
for
our
swearing-in
I
know,
there's
a
lot
of
family
and
friends
here.
We're
excited
about
this.
We're
gonna
do
all
four
council
members
at
the
same
time
and
mr.
price
that
includes
you,
I
think
we
forgot
to
mention
you
and
the
excitement
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
Aitkin.
Let
me
apologize
we're
going
to
ask
Councilwoman
price
councilman
elect
edgier
doe
Councilwoman,
elect.
J
A
A
K
L
Thank
You
mayor
council
good
evening,
good
to
see
you
all
thanks
for
having
here
tonight,
welcome
to
the
new
the
new
members
on
council
look
forward
to
working
with
you
as
I
have
the
other
members
on
on
helping
with
the
city's
capital
planning
going
forward.
Mr.
Klem
said:
I
am
here
to
talk
about
your
water
and
sewer
revenue.
Bond
I
was
just
here
about
a
month
ago
to
talk
about
the
sewer
system,
revenue
bond.
So
back
this
time
around
for
a
different
bond
issue,
but
similar
process
that
we
went
through.
L
So
this
will
be
the
same
format
for
those
of
you
that
were
here
a
month
ago.
They
saw
this
on
the
stormwater
bond.
We
got
in
six
proposals
here
for
the
water
and
sewer
system
revenue
bond.
Those
six
proposals
were
from
us:
Bank,
BB&T,
TD,
Bank,
Capital,
One,
Pinnacle,
Bank
and
Key
Bank,
and
so
four
of
those
names
also
been
on
your
stormwater
bond
last
month,
and
so
they
had
some
commonality
between
them
and
the
rates
were
very
similar.
We
also
got
in
to
new
proposals
to
TD.
L
L
They
bid
two
point:
five:
zero,
nine
percent
somewhat.
Coincidentally,
your
winning
bid
on
your
stormwater
bond
was
two
point:
five
one
percent,
so
almost
the
exact
same
rate,
different
security
structures.
These
are
not
related,
but
we
did
them
around
the
same
time
and
so
I
think
the
fact
that
it
was
the
same
term
we're
looking
at
a
15-year
term
on
this,
a
similar
type
of
credit,
where
you
have
a
revenue
pledge
behind
it.
That
resulted
in
a
similar
rate
BB&T
who
bought
your
stormwater
bond,
which
we
closed
on
a
couple
weeks
ago.
L
Part
of
that,
due
to
just
the
general
market
movement
and
rates
slightly
higher
now
than
it
was
a
month
ago,
but
very
attractive
interest
rates
from
US
Bank
BB&T
and
then
the
other
ones
fell
in
line
behind
that
the
the
highest
interest
rate
was
Key
Bank
at
3.0,
five
percent
and
so
a
spread
of
about
fifty
to
fifty
five
basis,
points
high
and
low.
It's
a
very
attractive
interest
rate
at
two
fifty
one
over
fifteen
years,
as
I
mentioned,
Mutko,
is
a
great
interest
rate
incredibly
low.
L
L
Five
point:
four
million
over
time,
so
around
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
interest
cost
over
fifteen
year
period,
so
that
four
and
a
half
million-
as
you
will
see
in
your
second
reading
of
your
bond
ordinance
tonight,
that
is
going
to
go
towards
a
variety
of
improvements
for
water
and
sewer
system,
namely
some
water
line,
replacements,
water,
main
replacements
in
downtown
in
other
areas,
some
new
valves
and
hydrants,
and
then
also
improvements
to
banks
lift
station.
So
those
are
the
general
use
of
proceeds
there.
L
On
this
four
and
a
half
million
dollar
revenue
bond
on
u.s.
bank
they're
also
proposing
a
some
prepayment
flexibility
they
have
after
thirteen
months.
The
city
can
prepay
it
if
it
chooses
to.
If
it
wants
to
prepay
it
early
or
refinance
it
at
some
point
in
the
future,
they
have
a
provision
there
where
it's
going
to
be
the
lower
of
a
three
percent
prepayment
penalty.
That's
three
percent
on
the
par
amount
of
the
bonds
outstanding
at
that
time
or
what's
called
a
make
whole
provision.
L
It's
a
formula,
that's
involved
there,
but
you
all
do
have
prepayment
flexibility
going
forward.
The
only
thing
I'd
note
on
the
additional
terms
or
conditions
it
was.
It
was
a
very
clean
proposal.
There,
however,
still
subject
to
their
formal
credit
approval.
U.S.
bank
does
a
little
bit
differently
where
they
do
get
preliminary
approval
when
they
submit
a
proposal,
if
they're
the
winning
bid,
they
will
then
go
get
final
approval
that
is
supposed
to
come
in
later
this
week.
L
We
don't
anticipate
any
issues
on
that
and
getting
the
formal
credit
approval,
but
once
that
comes
in
your
bond,
Council
Gary
po
Pipo
plan
prepare
closing
documents
and
we're
prepared
to
close
this
revenue
bond
issue.
Next
Thursday
December,
the
7th
and
so
game.
I
was
really
pleased
with
the
bids
that
came
in,
but
the
number
of
the
six
bids,
and
then
the
interest
rate
itself
speaks
well
to
the
city,
your
credit
quality,
and
what
you're
doing
with
these
these
proceeds
here
any
questions
on
our
RFP
process
or
the
proposals
that
came
in.
K
Mr.
mayor,
the
council

These

the
bank's
mill
lift
station
in

K
This
is
the
first
water
and
sewer
series
bond
ordinance
that
follows
the
master
bond
ordinance
that
the
council
approved
in
June
of
2017.
Our
attorney
Gary
Pope
will
be
present
at
the
council
meeting
is
present
at
the
council
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
have
about
this
bond
issuance.
We
also
have
staff
from
Public
Works
if
there
are
any
questions
about
the
specific
work
to
be
completed.
K
City
council
approved
this
ordinance
on
first
reading
at
the
November
13th
meeting
for
City
Council
consideration,
the
second
reading
and
public
hearing
of
an
ordinance
providing
for
the
issuance
and
sale
of
water
and
sewer
system,
revenue,
bonds
to
be
designated
series
2017
and
the
principle
amount
not
exceeding
4.5
million
dollars
and
as
I
mentioned
mr.
mayor
attorney,
Gary
Pope
is
present
to
answer
any
questions
you
may.
A
Have
sir,
thank
you
and
I
think
we
may
I
may
ask
either
Michelle
or
John
to
come
up
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
scope,
especially
part
new
council
members.
This
is
a
old
topic
for
those
of
us
been
here,
but
it
would
be
nice
and
someone
could
kind
of
give
the
scope
of
what
this
is
going
to
do
so.
I,
don't
know:
John
you
John
Paul,
our
City
Engineer.
E
E
2B
I
mean
phase
1
B
and
then
beyond
that
I
guess
we're
going
to
phase
2
that
would
kind
of
network
out
away
from
that
initial
hub
in
downtown.
Also,
this
would
be
for
the
bank's
Millis
station.
As
was
said
earlier,
that's
that
lift
station
has
very
marginal
capacity
left.
So
if
there's
any
development
on
that
into
town
it'll
be
under
sized,
so
I'll
have
any
questions.
E
Anticipated
date
for
completion,
we
haven't
actually
handled
that
yet
we're
still
in
the
process
of
developing
the
plants.
Right
now,
we've
got
survey
crews
out
there,
looking
at
the
banks,
mill
and
bonnyview
and
excuse
me,
Hidden
Haven,
now
downtown
we're
going
to
start
working
very
soon.
We're
about
to
finish
up
the
plans
for
the
phase
1
be
and
we're
just
started
phase
one
a
so.
E
To
stop,
we
discovered
quite
a
bit,
there's
a
pretty
large
vault
over
here
on
Lawrence,
big
storm,
water,
vault
and
spout
off.
Let
me
say
about
thirteen
feet
deep,
eight
foot
wide
that
was
just
a
complete.
How
did
the
blue
fine
that's
gonna,
be
fairly
expensive
to
rehabilitate
if
we
need
to
right
now
the
engineers
are
saying
that
the
conditions?
Okay.
E
I
G
E
E
Yeah,
absolutely
I
mean
it's,
it's
we've
had
a
lot
of
lesson
learns
thus
far
and
and
we're
continuing
to
to
learn
lessons
every
day,
but
the
you
know
the
fact
of
matter
is:
we
are
pushing
forward.
It's
it's.
It's
loosely
a
hearing
to
schedule
and
I'm
pretty
pleased
with
the
work
that
everybody's
getting
done
appreciate.
E
E
Right
off
of
my
hand,
for
each
one,
but
you
know
like
the
banks,
molestation
I
think
there's
1.3
million
dollars
the
phase
1a
was
it
came
in
at
like
320,000.
So
there's
it's.
You
know
you
have
to
kind
of
aggregate
all
that
together
to
come
up
with
the
total
cost
and
I.
Just
don't
have
that
probably
right.
N
N
E
Some
cases
you
would
remove
structures
in
other
cases.
You
would
not
like
it
fills
it
if
you,
if
you
have
a
working
water
line,
but
you
need
to
have
additional
capacity,
you'd
likely
just
put
another
water
line
next
to
it,
and
then
you'd
have
to
working
lower
lines.
If
it
was
war
line,
they
had
water
quality
issues
or
something
yeah.
You
can
abandon
it
in
place.
E
E
The
rehab
of
that
would
be
we've
been
talking
about
this
at
some
length
and
in
previous
meetings,
trenchless
technology.
We
utilize
that,
to
the
maximum
extent
practical
you're
not
going
to
dig
off
a
structure
that
size
you're
going
to
pretty
much
go
inside
of
it
and
if
it
needs
structural,
you
know,
repairs
build
another
structure
within
the
existing
structure
and.
A
O
Provide
for
the
information
as
far
as
what
we
listed
is
the
bond
projects
so
for
the
downtown
water
main
and
other
replacements
is
1,350,000.
The

A
A
F
K
Mayor
our
auditor,
Malden
and
Jenkins
certified
public
accountants
has
prepared
the
fiscal
year
2016-17
financial
audit
required
by
state
law
and
city
code.
Mr.
Miller
ed
woods
reviewed
the
audit
with
the
council.
At
the
last
meeting
at
the
work
session
on
November
3rd
team,
he
reported
that
the
city
received
an
unqualified
opinion,
with
no
material
weaknesses
and
no
instances
of
non-compliance
material
to
the
financial
statements.
City
Council
approved
this
ordinance
on
first
reading
at
the
November
13th
meeting
for
city
council
consideration
the
second
reading
and
public
hearing
of
an
ordinance
to
accept
the
fiscal
year.
K
A
Moving
down
to
old
business
number
four:
this
is
a
second
reading
of
public
hearing
of
an
ordinance
of
Granite
franchise,
two
that
akin
Electric
Cooperative
incorporated
for
use
of
right
away
in
the
city
of
Aitkin
for
providing
electrical
service
to
citizens
of
Aiken
by
title
and
ordinance
granting
of
franchise.
So
they
can
Electric
Cooperative
Inc
for
the
use
of
a
portion
of
the
public
right-of-way
in
the
city
of
Aiken,
for
the
purpose
of
providing
electrical
utility
services
to
the
citizens
of
the
city
of
Aiken.
Is
there
a
motion.
G
H
K
Mayor,
as
you
know,
the
city
of
Aiken
and
Aiken
electric
co-op
would
like
to
renew
the
franchise
agreement,
which
was
last
updated
in
1999
after
meeting
on
this
subject
on
multiple
occasions
this
past
year
we're
ready
to
move
forward
with
this
agreement.
This
agreement
will
run
concurrently
with
the
agreement
that
council
will
also
consider
tonight
with
South
Carolina,
electric
and
gas
company,
the
city
and
electric.
The
a
canola
electric
co-op
has
spent
many
hours
working
on
this
agreement
in
our
satisfied
that
it
meets
the
needs
of
our
citizens.
K
For
the
next
30
years,
city
council
approved
this
ordinance
on
first
reading
at
the
November
13th
meeting
for
council.
Consideration
is
second
reading
and
public
hearing
of
an
ordinance
granting
a
franchise
to
Aiken
electric
co-op,
with
the
use
of
a
portion
of
the
rights-of-way
in
the
city
of
Aiken
for
the
purpose
of
providing
electrical
services
to
the
citizen
of
the
city.
K
Mr.
mayor,
you
recall
at
the
last
meeting
I
summarized
the
major
changes
with
the
franchise
agreements
with
both
companies
that
we
presently
have.
The
first
is
that
we,
for
the
first
time
ever
we're
able
to
work
with
both
of
our
utilities
on
territories,
so
that
the
occasional
conflict
that
has
arisen
in
the
past
will
no
longer
occur.
K
Having
two
utilities
that
are
competitive,
that
are,
that
compete
against
each
other
work
out.
The
details
is
a
first
and
the
state
of
South
Carolina
and
power.
Understanding
is
because
of
the
success
that
both
companies
had
here
and
working
with
the
city
vacant
that
they
are
working
on
two
or
three
other
regions
as
a
model
for
the
future
relationship
between
competing
utilities.
K
Because
of
that
there
is
no
longer
a
need
to
mediate
disputes
because
there
won't
be
any
disputes
and
the
third
major
chain
will
change,
was
the
length
of
the
agreement.
We
are
receiving
the
maximum
amount
allowable
under
South
Carolina
law,
but
the
funds
for
the
franchise
fees
are
segregated
for
specific
purposes,
and
one
of
those
purposes
are
transportation
projects
in
a
second.
He
is
Public
Safety.
K
Now,
as
you
know,
we're
building
a
new
facility
and
Public
Safety,
and
if
we
want
to
utilize
these
funds
for
the
purposes
borrowing
in
the
future,
we
have
to
have
an
agreement
that
lives
through
the
life
of
the
the
borrowing,
and
so
it
was
actually
the
city's
request
that
we
go
further
out.
Then
then
had
been
the
case.
We
have
representatives
from
the
utilities
here
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have
to
them.
J
K
It
was
not,
it
was
our
request
because
when
we
decided
to
to
utilize
a
portion
of
the
franchise
fees
for
items
that
might
be
used
for
borrowing
in
the
future,
either
new
roads
in
the
transportation
program
that
you
created
or
the
building
in
question,
we
wanted
to
make
sure
there
was
a
sufficient
amount
of
time
for
the
franchise
agreement.
And
so
the
request
actually
came
from
the
city.
As
was
reported.
The
last
meeting
I.
F
M
K
Five
or
ten
years
as
we
over
the
last
several
years
have
kind
of
morphed
from
from
from
a
city
that
was
just
maintained,
trying
to
maintain
but
not
create
new
things
to
a
council
that
wanted
to
take
on
new
projects,
we're
building
a
new
Public,
Safety
Building
we're
looking
at
new
roads.
And
it's
because
of
the
belief
that
we
are
at
a
a
a
position
in
the
city
where
we
want
to
become
aggressive
against
a
projects
done
that
that
it
was
believed
to
be
in
our
best
interest.
D
Could
always
amend
an
agreement
about
agreement
of
both
parties
family
before
we
enter
into
it?
Can
we
see
any
change?
You
have
time
to
make
that
change.
If
you,
like
counsel,
would
like
to
continue
this
for
discussion
to
come
back
at
the
next
meeting,
you
certainly
have
the
right
to
do
that.
The
current
franchise
agreement
extends
for
another
couple
of
years.
A
A
Q
If
I
could
just
add,
you
remember,
meeting
with
Gary
suits
Barry
and
Kelly
Kassam,
and
part
of
that
was
an
agreement
that
we
presented
to
the
City
Council
back
several
months
ago
and
that
set
the
framework
for
this
subsequent
franchise
agreements
and
that
agreement
called
for
30-year
term
and
that
it
had
to
be
done
by
December
1st.
So
if,
if
you
all
don't
pass,
the
print
and
I
mean
obviously
it's
up
to
y'all
what
y'all
decide
to
do.
Q
That
was
something
that
the
city
agreed
to
and
the
30
year
term
has
been
on
the
table
from
the
start,
and
we
talked
about
that
some
at
the
last
meeting
that
the
city
did
prefer
a
longer
term
because
of
the
the
financial
considerations
of
perhaps
bonding
that
revenue
stream
and
we're
talking
about
a
substantial
amount
of
money.
When
you
look
at
the
two
franchise
fees
together,
I
don't
know
exactly
what
is
we're
talking
about
several
million
dollars
a
year
to
the
city,
the.
K
K
Tension
with
our
finance
folks,
some
of
whom
are
tonight
their
recommendation
to
us,
was
we're
getting
the
maximum
allowed
by
law.
We
know
that
we
have
construction
projects.
Their
advice
to
us
was
locked
in
as
long
as
you
can,
which,
which
is
counterintuitive.
I
am
usually
one
that
says
the
shorter,
the
better,
but
in
this
instance
knowing
that
we're
going
to
need
this
money
for
projects
and
knowing
that
this
agreement
is
giving
us
the
maximum
revenue
allowed
by
law,
our
financial
advisors
are
saying
lock
it
in
for
as
long
as
you
can.
Q
Q
F
That's
because
they
get
cousin
we
to
it
first,
our
soon
to
make
it
first
Gary
questions
to
me.
If
you
don't
mind
our
attorney,
what
is
the
reluctancy
for
us
to
add
a
clause
that
says
that
if
the
majority
of
council
no
matter
who's
sitting
here,
10
years
from
now,
20
years
from
now,
will
agree
to
it
back
to
the
majority
wanting
to
meet
and
renegotiate
this
franchise
agreement,
we'll
go
with
30
years,
but
can
we
change
their
language?
To
that?
Can
we
add
a
clause
into
that?
There.
D
Is
apologize
mr.
Walsh,
but
when
you
ask
the
question
about
being
able
to
change
the
term,
you
do
have
a
provision
already
built
into
both
franchise
agreements.
In
the
event,
the
state
legislature
allows
the
city
to
charge
more
than
5%
franchise
fee.
Both
of
them
have
agreed
that
we
would
be
able
to
do
that.
If
council
voted
to
do
that,
so
you're
not
locked
in
to
the
5%.
If
the
legislature
allows
us
to
increase
okay.
F
D
I
can
back
up
just
for
a
minute,
because
I
thought
Scott
did
a
really
good
job
of
summarizing.
All
of
the
events
that
have
led
up
to
this
evening
in
that
went
back
to
the
summertime
when
the
coop
NSC
anji
first
started
talking
about
working
together
to
handle
differences
in
the
territory
boundary
line.
D
This
was
something
that
Mitch
Klem
wanted,
because
we
had
had
an
experience
within
the
last
couple
of
years
where
there
was
a
dispute
about
who
would
serve
a
particular
problem,
and
so
that
was
something
that
the
city
manager
thought
was
very
valuable
to
the
city
and
they
agreed
to
do
that
and
added
some
conditions.
The
have
the
franchise
extended
to
30
years
and
have
the
franchise
agreement
approved
by
December
1st,
and
so
that
was
the
agreement.
The
City
Council
approved
back.
D
F
Let
me
just
say
that
I
know
that
I
raised
the
topic.
It's
always
had
a
burning
within
me
about
the
30
years
and
I
felt
it
worthy
to
make
it
on
our
public
record.
Then
I
am
very
uneasy
with
30
years
and
I
stand
by
that
very
uneasy.
Even
though
we're
talking
about
a
public
safety
building
and
rose,
it
still
does
not
generate
enough
revenue.
We
don't
know
what
30
years
is
going
to
bring
with
a
new
council
City.
K
But
the
point,
though,
is,
is
that
I
certainly
don't
want
to
speak
for
the
utilities
or
the
attorneys
that
I've
met
with,
but
I'm
sure
that
if
we
went
back
and
said
we
want
a
clause
in
there
that
allows
us
to
get
out
after
20
years.
You
know
what
they're
gonna
ask
for
they're
gonna
have
a
closet,
so
they
can
get
out
at
20
years
and
I.
Don't
think
that.

Comments
with
staff,
mr.
mayor
mr.
mark
Gilliam
of
Crowell
&
Company,
is
requesting
the
city
to
accept
the
quitclaim
deed
for
a
parcel
designated
as
tract
a
in
the
attached.
Plat
track
contains
three
point:
eight
seven
acres
and
is
in
the
DAR
plantation
property,
located
south
of
medulla
court
approaching
an
Amanda
for
the
engineering
staff
has
reviewed
the
deed
and
plat.
They
are
recommending
that
the
city
accept
the
quick
claim
deed
for
the
partial
in
this
area.
K
There
was
a
question
at
the
November
13th
meeting
regarding
the
property
being
requested
to
be
deeded
to
the
city
engineering
staff
states
that
this
is
a
funnel-shaped
property
where
the
stone
riprap
is
to
be
placed
by
the
city
according
to
the
hope,
lands,
farms,
agreement.
Acceptance
of
this
tract
and
maintenance
of
it
is
part
of
the
settlement
of
the
suit
regarding
drainage
issues
in
Oakland's
farms.
Council
consideration
is
a
resolution
to
accept
the
quick
claim
deed
for
track
a
and
D
at
our
plantation
section,
for
containing
3.87
acres
and
through
you,
mr.
K
R
Of
course,
this
first
deed
of
dedication,
for
we
had
discussed
this
at
the
last
council
meeting
and,
as
you
all
are
aware,
this
quitclaim
quick
claim
deed
is
for
a
tract.
What
we're
terming
tract
a
and
if
you
look
on
the
aerial,
we
actually
included
an
aerial
map.
The
second
time
around
that
essentially
frames
or
outlines
that
that
funnel
shape
is
as
John
reference
of
the
tract,
and
essentially
this
is
going
to
as
part
of
the
local
farms
settlement.
R
For
this
and
for
this
portion
there
was,
there
is
overflow
from
Woodward
pond,
which
is
just
above.
It's
that
parcel
number
ending
in
zero
one
four
above
tract
a
when
it
overflows
we're
essentially
being
asked
to
take
over
that
tract
to
help
slow
down
and
mitigate
any
damages
to
the
hoechlin
farms
area.
That's
downstream
of
that
tract,
so
that's
essentially
what's
being
requested
as
part
of
this
deed.

account
to
the
source
system
account
by
Thailand
ordinance
to
repurpose
the
use
of
funds
from
the
capital
project
sales
tax.
As
their
motion.
F
K
Mayor
at
the
November
13th
council
meeting
council
member
Abner
suggested
that
staff
consider
transferring
some
funds
in
capital
project
sales
tax.
Three
from
the
water
system
account
to
the
sewer
system
account
the
engineering
staff
of
the
public
works
department
is
requesting
council
to
approve
the
transfer
of
Molly
at
180
thousand
dollars
of
CPS
D.
K
Three
surplus
surplus
funds
from
the
water
infrastructure
account
to
the
sewer
account
for
one
Woodside
and
gem
lakes,
lift
station
oxygen
injection
systems
for
nine
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars,
and
to
Sandhurst
sewer
aerial
crossing
replacement
for
two
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
dollars.
The
City
Council
consideration
is
first
reading
of
an
ordinance
to
repurpose
the
use
of
the
funds
in
the
amount
of
1
million
one
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
dollars
in
CPS
d3
funds
from
the
water
system
account
to
the
sewer
system
account
to
be
used
for
the
project
suggested
by
the
engineering
staff.
K
G
R
I
spoke
with
the
issue
in
question:
is
the
lift
station
at
Jim
Lakes,
and
there
I
received
a
call
last
week
from
a
resident,
a
local
resident
who
was
very
concerned.
She
was
going
to
be
hosting
her
family
at
her
home
and
there
was
a
god-awful
smell
from
the
sewer
system
there,
and
so
at
one
point
in
time.
Several
years
ago
we
had
gone
in
and
done
a
complete
overhaul
of
all
the
sanitary
sewer
systems,
and
this
odor
had
gone
away
for
a
period
of
upwards
five
years.
R
R
However,
it
was
a
temporary
fix,
so
one
of
the
projects
that
is
going
to
be
done
as
part
of
this
funds
transfer
is
this
oxygen
injection
system
that
will
be
installed
at
Jim
Lakes,
as
well
as
Woodside
lift
stations
which
will
eliminate
this
odor
it'll
enable
us
to
not
have
to
use
these
chemical
additives
and
therefore
you
won't
have
that
odor
with
the
oxygen.
Why.
E
We've
had
Tony
Hudson
one
of
our
engineering
tax,
looking
into
why
this
mill
keeps
coming
back
and
it's
got
to
do
with
the
fact
that
we're
treating
the
you
know
you've
got
two
different
things.
You
got
the
actual
conveyance
of
sewage
and
then
you've
got
the
off
gassing
of
the
sewage
and
when
the
sewage
goes
into
these
lift
stations,
especially
when
it
goes
through
long
force
mains.
It
goes
into
a
anaerobic
state
where
it's
almost
like
an
anaerobic
digester
at
a
wastewater
treatment
plant.
E
So
then,
when
it's
released
back
into
the
gravity
sewer
again,
this
h2s
gas
is
released
and
it
really
is
a
foul
smell.
It's
actually
it
can
it
can.
If
you
were
in
the
manhole,
it
can
overwhelm
you
and
kill
you.
So
there's
actually
been
documented
cases
of
where
this
gas
has
killed
municipal
workers.
E
So
the
idea
is
stop
treating
it
with
the
chemicals,
because
the
chemical
system
is
something
that's
kind
of
a
home-brewed
system
that
our
guys
put
together.
You
know
they've
got
these
storage
tanks,
they
got
secondary
containment
and
these
pumps,
but
it's
not
a
very
robust
system
and
it
can
break
down
and
often
when
you
get
the
smell
reports,
it's
because
the
system
is
breaking
down
that
pumps,
the
chemicals
and
acid
by
oxide.
It's
a
trade
name
by
oxide.
E
We
looked
at
the
numbers
if
we
were
to
treat
it,
and
this
was
a
study
Tony
Hudson
did
for
me.
If
we
were
to
increase
the
rate
of
feed
to
totally
eliminate
the
smell,
we
would
be
looking
at
around
$200,000
annually
for
chemical
fees,
so
I
just
didn't
think
that
was
a
sustainable
system,
especially
for
something
that's
so
prone
to
brake
started.
Looking
around
at
what
other
available
technologies
there
was
to
could
treat
the
smell
and
this
eco
2
space
cone
super
oxygenation
was
what
we've
kind
of
settled
on.
E
E
Not
soon
enough,
I
mean
what
we're
looking
at
now
is.
We
have
a
certain
amount
of
chemical
that
was
budgeted
for
this
year.
Doing
that
pilot
study
to
find
out
how
much
we
needed
to
totally
eliminate
the
smell
has
put
us
into
a
chemical
deficit,
so
I
believe
we're
going
to
be
running
out
of
chemical
and
we'll
probably
come
back
to
you
soon
to
ask
for
some
more
money
to
pay
for
additional
chemical
by
the
end
of
January
or
February,
depending
on
how
the
winter
months
treat
us.
G
G
G
E
When
they're
working
closely
with
Joey,
since
we
were
at
one
time
planning
getting
our
a
a
grant
for
this,
but
that
fell
through,
and
so
the
next
logical
thing
was
to
see
PSD
money
because
it
needs
to
be
done
in
my
opinion,
because
the
the
top
I'm
gonna
go
along
tangent.
The
operating
costs
for
the
Eco
2
systems,
for
both
of
them
is
about
60
to
70
thousand
dollars
a
year
versus
to
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year.
So
it
has
a
pretty
quick
rate
of
return.
E
G
G
A
F
K
Our
engineering
staff
has
reviewed
a
proposal
from
our
Cadis
for
a
quote
for
a
professional
services
contract
for
a
maximum
fee
of
11
million
five
hundred
thirty-five
thousand
six
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
for
work
consisting
of
two
phases.
As
part
of
this
project,
the
scope
of
work
would
include
grouting
and
condition.
Assessment
of
forty
four
miles
of
high-risk
mainline
sewer
pipes
along
with
associated
meant,
manholes
and
service
connections.
These
pipes
are
in
the
oldest
portion
of
our
sewer
system.
K
About
60%
of
the
pipes
are
located
downtown
25%,
located
in
houndslake,
north
and
15%,
located
in
the
Kalmia
hills.
Community
phase
one
would
include
so
closed-circuit
television,
inspection,
route
control
and
grouting
in
place.
Phase
two
would
include
structural
rehabilitation
for
City
Council.
Consideration
is
approval
to
enter
into
a
professional
services
contract
but
hate
us
for
a
maximum
fee
of
11
million
five
hundred
thirty-five
thousand
six
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
for
work
in
the
San
River
Basin
sewer
rehabilitation
project,
which
is
to
be
funded
through
the
state
revolving
fund
loan.
M
G
A
M
M
R
R
M
R
E
Yes,
sir,
it
does
take
special
equipment,
home
I
think
this
year
we
just
got
a
jet
truck
and
a
back
truck
specifically
the
back
truck,
and
that
would
be
used
to
kind
of
pull
the
lines
clean.
Go
in
and
clean
out.
The
manholes
get
the
material
down
suck
it
out
it,
regardless
of
the
project.
We'd
have
to
do
that
type
of
maintenance
right.
E
M
E
Okay,
yeah
the
the
grout
actually
is.
It
would
go
out
of
the
joints
of
the
pipe
and
be
in
the
soul
matrix
around
the
the
pipe
so
the
grout
being
there
doesn't
change
how
you
would
need
to
maintain
the
fight.
It
just
changes.
The
fact
that
the
pipes
not
allowing
soil
to
enter
it
and
shift
the
pipes
over
time
and.
M
E
We
we
making
as
city
manager,
John
Klem,
said
that
the
pipe
inspections
are
included
as
part
of
the
rehabilitation
process,
so
we're
making
some
broad
assumptions
on
the
percentage
of
pipe
that
cannot
be
crowded.
So
we
have
some
money
in
there
for
repairs
and
we
have
some
money
in
there
for
I
guess
emergency
contingency.
So
if
there's
something
that
just
really
went
wrong,
we've
have
emergency.
If
we
come
across
something
that
was
so
structurally
deficient
that
it
couldn't
wait
to
like
a
new
fiscal
year
to
be
repaired,
there
would
be
some.
M
M
E
M
E
E
The
the
area
that
it
gets
done
is
the
Sand
River
Basin
sewer
basin
and
in
the
Sand
River
Basin,
the
oldest
and
most
fragile
of
the
pipes
were
selected.
So
we
have
an
inventory
of
what
our
assets
are,
and
we
know
that
some
of
our
assets
are,
you
know,
very
aged
and
it's
of
a
material,
that's
likely
to
shift
over
time
and
we've
had
done.
Some
sampling
of
you
know
camera
sampling
and
found
that
the
pipe
is
in
need
of
some
sort
of
grout
treatment.
So.
M
E
You
start
looking
at
you
know
the
system
as
a
whole
and
you
do
everything
analytically,
but
you
don't
go
out
and
verify
with
the
folks
in
the
field
I
mean
it's
really
a
waste
cause.
Okay,
you
might
have
you
know
all
the
theories
on
how
the
stuff
is
acting,
but
if
you
don't
feel
verify
it
with
your
staff,
it's
it's
wasted.
Okay,.
G
We
should
probably
give
the
new
council
members
of
copies
identify
in
a
vase
in
advise
yeah
report.
Yes,
now
Mike.
My
question
is
that
when
I
at
one
point
saw
how
much
needed
to
be
done
in
pounds
like
now
not
house
like
north,
the
figure
was
nine
million
and
I
have
said
this
before
is
not
fixing
all
of
the
problem
we
are.
We
are
prod
trying
to
do
our
best
to
prioritize
and
say:
okay,
we're
going
to
do
downtown
and
houndslake
and
and
Kalmia
who
are
you
doing
15
percent
of
Kalmia?
G
G
I
mean
that's
the
problem.
I
think
we
need
to
recognize
where
we've
got
more
pipes
that
need
to
be
replaced
and
I
think
when
the
new
members
accounts
we'll
get
to
look
at
that
in
advise
report,
they'll
see
the
issue
and
if
you'll
put
that
page
in
that,
you
gave
me
on
what
streets
and
you're
going
to
be
doing
this
work
on.
We
just
need
to
recognize
that
it's
a
start.
It's
a
it's
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
You
know
we're
moving
to
doing
something
that
that
hasn't
been
done
before
so
I.
M
M
E
E
G
G
E
O
G
A
G
K
G
F
Me
just
add
that
reality
is.
We
can't
fix
our
problem,
the
way
we're
trying
to
fix
it
now,
CPS
t
monies
or
with
our
budget
monies
that's
reality,
and
there
has
to
be
another
source
of
funding
and
I
think
we
all
know
what
it
is,
or
we
hate
the
word,
but
we
have
to
resort
to
that
and
it
needs
to
be
educated
in
terms
of.
G
M
R
R
R
M
F
N
R
F
E
Is
a
chemical
grouting
process
from
the
best
that
I
understand
it
does
turn
to
inertness.
You
notice
an
inert
chemical
once
it
dries
out.
It's
not
something.
That's
a
pollutant
or
hazardous
material,
so
and
and
I
believe.
Each
component
by
itself
is
also
not
hazardous
to
the
environment
and
the
other
great
thing
is:
we
are
operating
within
the
sanitary
sewer
system
and
not
the
stormwater
source
system.
E
E
Inside
you
know,
I
was
thinking
about
getting
the
animation
for
this.
There
there's
a
lot
of
them
out
there.
Basically,
what
it
does
is,
there's
a
basically
a
little
rig
that
you
insert
into
the
pipe
and
it's
tracked
to
camera
right
and
it
pulls
the
this
Ray
along
and
when
it
gets
to
a
joint.
It
inflates.
E
They
get
a
sufficient
back
pressure,
meaning
that
they've
sealed
the
joint
mm-hmm
or
they
pump
a
certain
volume
once
that
certain
volume
is
pumped
they
let
it
sit
idle
for
a
little
while
to
give
some
time
for
the
grout
to
gel,
and
then
they
do
it
again
until
they
get
that
back
pressure
and
I.
Think
after
three
tries
they
don't
get
the
the
back
pressure
that
they're
looking
for
don't
move
on
and
mark
that
grout
as
as,
basically
a
failure
to
grout.
So
we'll
know
about
that
location
in
the
future.
A
M
M
A
S
A
Gis
imaging
that
they
did
on
this
process
is
really
it
was
fascinating.
Yes,
it
really
was
all
right.
Moving
down
to
information
issues
and
updates.
I'm
gonna
ask
our
parks
and
recreation
director
Jessica
Campbell.
She
would
come
up.
We
have
several
events
in
our
city
through
the
holidays
and
love
and
opportunity
for
her
to
share
those
with
us
Jessica
good
evening.
S
Right
here
on
Newbury
Street
and
then
of
course,
our
famous
Christmas
and
hope
ones.
We
have
thirteen
magical
nights
of
Lights,
starting
December,
10th,
excuse-me,
9th
and
10th,
and
the
14th
to
23rd
in
the
26
a
wonderful
time
of
year,
and
we
can
find
all
that
information
on
Aiken
is
magical,
calm,
Thank.

Two
comments:
dad,
if
you
don't
mind
mr.
mayor,
these
are
positive
comments
with
our
staff,
Tim
Coakley
and
Tim
O'brien.
A
lot
of
kudos
go
through
the
two
of
you
from
the
calls
that
I've
received
and
comments
regarding
our
Park
ways,
especially
with
something
happening.
Tim
we're
not
the
person
that
the
flowers
do
you
see
out
there
just
kidding
about
that
are.
F
Nevertheless,
a
lot
of
positive
feedback
regarding
that
quarter.
The
improvements
there
a.
Secondly
Michelle
there
was
a
phone
call
that
was
received
on
the
Wednesday
regarding
our
town
executive,
that
was
in
town
missing
his
daughter
lots
of
water
leak
that
was
going
on
they,
wouldn't
they
weren't
quite
sure
what
to
do.
Michelle
was
was
telephoned
and
her
staff
was
out
there
and
45
minutes
sure
care
was
done,
so
they
managed
to
have
a
great
Thanksgiving
because
of
that
repairs
so
quickly,
so
kudos
to
our
staff
for
the
job
that
they're
doing
all.
