Utility Advisory Board 05-22-2023
B
A
A
Georgia,
okay,
all
right
and
the
only
Vice,
chair,
Dennis
carafo-
is
the
only
one
who
couldn't
make
it
today.
Scott.
Would
you
lead
us
in
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance.
A
A
A
C
Good
Morning
Neil,
Peters
utility
director
I
believe
that
Dennis
cafario
is
no
longer
on
the
board.
He
resigned
personal
reasons.
We're
going
to
start
with
the
operational
data
for
April.
C
C
C
We
have
a
TDS
chart
for
April,
see
I,
think
that's
probably
when
the
the
rain
event
happened
was
when
the
the
surface
water
went
below
500
and
then
just
creeped
back
up
slowly,
but
the
RO
plants
doing
what
it's
meant
to
do
is
keeping
us
right
where
we're
supposed
to
be.
D
We'll
show
you
most
of
our
CIP
projects
this
morning
are
planning
in
underway
up
on
the
wall.
Today
we
have
900
Henry
Street,
which
is
also
called
our
Master
pump
facility.
So
this
is
a
Wastewater
Plumbing
facilities
located
on
Henry
Street,
very
near
what
everybody
recognizes.
As
the
dog
park,
we
have
three
175
horsepower
pumps
in
there
and
we
have
two
ground
storage
tanks.
D
The
last
time
we
upgraded
it
was
2001,
so
it's
at
a
time
frame
where
it's
ready
for
new
equipment,
so
we'll
be
putting
in
new
pumps
a
new
emergency
power
facility
generator
and
whatever
additional
electrical
upgrades
may
be
warranted.
We
are
right
now.
We've
sent
this
to
procurement.
To
select
the
engineer
once
the
engineer
selected.
The
first
thing
we'll
produce
is
a
preliminary
design
report
which
will
categorize
the
schedule
of
every
Improvement
in
an
engineer's
opinion
of
cost,
so
we'll
be
able
to
bring
that
to
this
board
in
a
future
date.
D
D
D
This
project
is
kind
of
a
companion
to
the
mpf
project
and
it's
been
an
ongoing
project
with
utilities
where
we're
replacing
a
14
inch
duct
wire
enforcement.
It
was
put
in
quite
a
few
years
ago
with
new
PVC
Force
man,
and
this
would
be
the
third
increment.
We've
already
done
two
other
increments
in
previous
years,
and
this
will
go
from
the
bass
Inlet
bridge
to
the
mpf
facility,
so
we'll
be
replacing
old
doctor
with
new
PVC
for
increase
reliability.
D
D
D
D
E
D
So
I'm
not
sure
when
it
went
in
I'd
have
to
go
back
and
look
at.
You
know
some
drawings,
but
it's
been
a
long
time
that
I'm
guessing
that
that
14
has
been
there
a
long
time.
Well,
probably
about
the
same
time,
maybe
the
same
time
they
built
the
MPL.
D
E
D
D
I'd
have
to
go
to
the
bill
Harbor
book
to
tell
you
what
year
they
put
it
in,
but
it
was
a
long
time
ago
prior
to
building
the
shell
Creek
facility.
This
was
our
raw
water
to
Ann
Street,
but
it's
been
a
distribution
system
pipe
for
a
long
time
and
we've
decided
it's
reach
the
end
of
its
reliable
service,
so
we're
replacing
it
with
PVC.
D
D
So
this
is
a
super
good
project
for
pontagora,
because
we've
been
struggling
with
this
10
inch
line
for
a
long
time.
So
we're
going
to
be
super
happy
when
this
new
12
is
done,
and
it's
going
real.
Well
we're
happy
with
this
contractor,
so
you
wouldn't
grow
here
to
you,
Dean
green.
The
good
news
is
this
project
actually
is
done.
D
We're
still
doing
some
close
out
with
accepting
some
sod,
but
it's
been
completed
and
placed
in
service
yay.
So
here
we
went
in
and
just
upgraded
a
few
streets
that
never
had
water.
They
just
kind
of
got
skipped
over
when
this
project
was
built
a
long
time
ago,
and
sometimes
we
we
like
to
just
go
in
and
do
really
small
projects
and
and
fill
in
some
of
these
areas
that
don't
have
water,
so
that
one
object
is.
We
won't
be
seeing
that
next
time,
which
is
a
good
thing.
D
D
A
D
E
E
F
The
for
the
record,
Steve
Leonard,
Regulatory,
Compliance
manager,
there's
actually
three
trains,
we're
building
and
we're
going
to
have
three
clarifiers
as
part
of
this
project.
F
I,
don't
understand
what
you're
asking
me
about
the
one
tank
I'm.
Sorry.
F
E
I
have
no
doubt
about
that.
I
have
no
problem
at
all
with
that
Steve.
It's
just
that
it
comes
across
as
being
with
with
smaller
tanks
that
are
out
there
that
are
are
not
requiring
any
type
of
additional
soil
support.
E
F
The
crutch
of
the
problem
is
our
existing
tanks.
Aren't
deep
enough
and
without
knocking
down
the
head
works,
we
have
to
dig
deeper
we're
digging
through
a
somewhat
rock
layer
that
the
current
tanks
are
sitting
on
to
get
these
tanks
deep
enough
to
be
able
to
have
efficient
treatment.
That's
why
our
current
tanks
are
pretty
much
unusable,
there's
not
enough
water
depth
and
there's
you
can't
build
up
because
you'll
overflow,
the
head
works,
it's
a
balancing
act
with
hydraulics.
F
They
didn't
run
the
numbers
if
the
rock
was
left
there,
but
the
geotechnical
person
informed
me
that
it
would
have
been
better,
maybe
not
support
it,
we're
still
possibly
looking
at
changing.
You
know
it's
the
delegated
design,
the
piles
up
under
there.
They
say:
okay,
you
got
to
build
a
pile
system
that
supports
this
much
and
they
gave
an
example
of
a
pile
system
that
would
support
that
much,
but
they're
not
going
to
just
accept.
You
can't
just
go
build
what
they
said.
They
they
had.
F
You
have
to
get
an
engineer
to
design
the
foundation
and
they're
even
looking
at
things
such
as,
instead
of
12
inch
concrete
piles.
What
would
happen
if
we
went
24
inch
concrete
piles,
because
if
you
spread
them
out
more,
then
we
might
be
able
to
take
some
money
off
the
Civil
or
the
site
work,
because
currently
there's
going
to
be
a
pile,
every
five
feet
and
they
got
to
dig
11
feet
or
15
feet
down
between
these
piles.
F
A
If
but
maybe
to
get
to
George's
question
a
slightly
different
way,
would
it
be
fair
to
characterize
it,
as
the
issue
is
part
of
the
reason
why
we
have
to
do
this?
All
this
additional
Geotech
to
support
the
tank
is
because
you
need
the
tank
to
be
bigger,
so
there's
a
there's,
a
water
treatment
component
that
requires
a
single
tank
more
than
doubling
it
up
into
smaller
tanks.
That
may
not
require
as
much
Geotech
is.
That
is
that
the
way
I
understood
it
yeah.
F
And
you
can't
even
say
that
without
yes,
that's
what
he's
asking
I
think,
but
we
can't
say
that
without
designing
those
tanks,
okay
and
we're
you
know
beyond
that
point,
it's
it's.
Unfortunately,
the
soil
report.
According
to
the
two
geotechnical
people
I've
had
out
there
drilling
it's
terrible.
How
I
my
question
is:
how
are
the
existing
tanks
still
sitting
there?
D
D
D
This
time
we're
not
expecting
to
increase
the
capacity,
but
when
we
do
the
preliminary
engineering
report,
we
will
also
look
at
20-year
flow
forecast
and,
if
necessary,
identify
the
required
bumping
rate,
but
it's
possible
that
we're
going
to
be
okay.
So,
for
instance,
when
we
did
this
project
20
years
back,
we
did
do
a
20-year
forecast
and
at
some
point
you
get
to.
You
know
almost
a
build
out
scenario
where
PGI
is
not
growing
at
a
very
high
rate.
D
H
Good
morning
Chris
and
Simeone
Finance
director
before
I
start
I,
do
want
to
introduce
Danielle
berhel.
If
you
can
stand
up
she's
our
finance
manager
of
budgets
and
grants,
and
next
month
she'll
be
presenting
the
monthly
financials
as
well
as
the
budget.
I
will
be
at
a
conference,
so
I'll
probably
be
available
by
phone.
If
there's
additional
questions
but
she'll
be
doing
the
presentation.
H
So
we
have
our:
we
provided
February
March
and
April
monthly
Financial
reports,
but
I'm
just
going
to
go
over
April
unless
you
had
any
questions
on
the
previous
months.
So
for
April
we
are
58.3
percent.
Through
the
fiscal
year
we
have
revenues
year
to
date.
When
you
compare
it
to
what
we
estimated,
we
would
be
it's
a
total
of
107.5
percent
and
our
charges
for
services
were
just
slightly
under
where
we
thought
we
would
be,
but
we're
making
it
up
under
other
miscellaneous
revenues,
a
big
one
being
interest
income
on
the
expenditure
side.
H
You
can
see
the
divisions
again.
They
they
try
to
stay
very
close
to
where
they
are
expected
to
be
at
this
time
of
year
with
encumbrances
we
are
a
little
higher,
but
that's
expected
because
a
lot
of
those
encumbrances
are
for
the
entire
year,
such
as
chemicals
and
the
water
treatment
plant
wastewater
treatment
plant.
E
H
This
one
looks
at
it
more
from
the
total
of
the
annual
budget
to
the
Aaron,
the
annual
amended
budget
to
where
we
are
at,
as
well
so
year
to
date
for
water
Billings,
we're
at
90
9.8
percent
for
sewer
Billings,
we're
at
98.8
percent
so
again,
very
close
to
where
we
expect
it
to
be.
When
we
do
compare
the
water
Billings
compared
to
last
year,
we
are
a
little
bit
under
approximately
142
000.
H
But
again
we
did
have
the
storm,
and
services
were
out
of
service
for
a
little
while,
at
the
beginning
of
the
fiscal
year,
actual
year-to-date
expenditures
we're
at
93.3.3
percent.
H
Going
on
to
this,
let's
make
this
a
little
bit
smaller.
So
again
we
just
try
and
show
you
our
revenues
and
expenditures
on
a
monthly
basis
and
as
a
comparison
also
to
last
year
as
well.
So
again,
we
have
a
big
transfer
that
we
always
make
at
the
beginning
of
the
year.
Those
are
for
the
construction
projects.
H
That's
why
it's
a
little
higher
there
and
then
you
can
see
the
revenues
versus
our
expenditures
going
out
and
then
in
September
we
always
have
more
expenditures,
because
again,
a
lot
of
our
bills
come
in
monthly,
but
because
we
accrue
September
back
to
the
prior
year
took
October
usually
is
a
little
bit
less
for
operating,
but
then
in
September
we'll
have
August
and
September
being
booked.
H
A
little
bit
bigger
now,
so
this
is
our
year-to-date
budget
in
actual
year
to
date
for
water,
you
can
see
we're
just
slightly
under
our
budget
and
you
can
see
the
the
dotted
line
was
our
estimates.
The
black
line
is
the
actual
and
we're
pretty
much
just
where
we
were
last
year
right
at
that
Peak
for
April.
H
This
provides
you
our
projections
again
through
the
year-to-date
amount.
We
haven't
done
an
adjustment
yet,
but
next
month
you'll
probably
see
that,
because
we'll
be
looking
at
our
revenues,
seeing
what
we
should
really
be
projecting
for
the
rest
of
the
year,
so
our
year-to-date
actual
is
compared
to
our
Originals
projections
and
you
can
see
the
inside
versus
outside
city
limits
for
water,
we're
at
98.93
on
the
outside,
we're
102
percent
almost
and
on
the
sewer
inside
we're
at
98.93
and
outside
City
Limits,
98.42
percent.
H
This
last
slide
is
just
all
of
our
revenues,
excluding
impact
fee
transfers.
So
again,
the
trend
line
generally
follows
our
water
and
sewer,
because
that's
our
biggest
Revenue
Source,
but
year-to-date
budget,
we
thought
we'd
be
at
12.5
million
and
we're
just
about
at
13
million
and
again
it's
some
of
those
other
revenues
that
are
coming
in
any
questions.
E
Yes,
one
thing:
what
about
the
state
revolving
fund
so.
H
We
did
get
our
agreement
and
we
have
signed
it,
so
we
do
have
a
fully
executed.
State
revolving
Loan
Fund.
H
We
still
will
look
at
some
additional
financing
as
far
as
if
we
should
maybe
possibly
do
the
withia
program
and
I'm
sorry
I,
don't
know
exactly
what
it
stands
for,
but
that
would
ex
we
would
be
able
to
extend
our
debt
service
past
20
years,
where
the
state
revolving
Loan
Fund
only
gives
us
20
years,
but
we
felt
before
we
could.
We
could
still
work
on
that
as
we
move
forward
with
the
project,
but
we
needed
to
have
the
funding
source
in
place
to
start
the
project.
H
So
right
now
it's
funded
either
with
City
funds
as
a
portion,
but
the
majority
is
the
state
revolving
loan
funds
and.
H
It's
about
78
million
dollars.
It
was
actually
a
little
bit
more
in
the
original
agreement.
They'll
amend
it
back
down
to
what
we
actually
need.
A
C
C
C
The
one
of
the
things
not
on
here
is
the
fence
around
the
mpf
on
Henry
Street,
having
a
real
issue,
finding
people
that
want
to
do
smaller
jobs,
so
the
procurement
has
reached
out
to
the
company
that
originally
put
up
the
fence
and
they're
coming
out
I
believe
next
Monday
to
see
if
they
can
still
get
the
materials.
So
hopefully
that
project
will
be
moving
along.
A
C
Through
dep,
a
reimbursement
grant
for
the
amount
of
1
million,
one
hundred
and
eighteen
thousand
three
hundred
forty
eight
dollars
for
a
lift
station
System
project,
the
biggest
thing
we're
going
to
be
doing
is
a
replacement
of
generators.
Some
of
the
stationary
generators
on
the
main
lift
stations
date
back
to
Hurricane
Andrew,
so
we're
going
to
be
replacing
all
those
we're
going
to
be
buying
some
more
portable
generators.
C
Our
Wastewater
collection
supervisor
is
interested
in
looking
at
some
bypass
pumping
stations,
so
you
can
just
leave
there.
The
thing
they
like
about
that
is
if
the
internal
piping
of
the
lift
station
gets
destroyed.
For
some
reason,
they
can
just
take
a
pump,
throw
it
in
a
set
of
floats
and
it
runs
just
like
a
regular
lift
station.
C
It
can
all
be
run
through
Telemetry
through
a
cell
phone,
the
fire
chief
went
to
the
hurricane
conference
and
came
back
and
with
something
that
I
think
we're
going
to
be,
adding
to
it
as
a
fueling
trailer.
We
can
I
think
it's
the
biggest
one
they
have
is
900
gallons.
That
was
a
issue
we
had
once
once
the
fuel
started
coming.
C
It
was,
it
was
still
a
slow
process
because
all
Wastewater
collections
had
was
a
90
gallon
tank
in
the
back
of
a
pickup
truck,
so
they
would
have
to
go
to
the
fire
station
and
get
get
fuel
and
go
pump.
The
pump
so
a
big.
Looking
at
that
we're
going
to
be
upgrading
what
we
can
on
the
scada
systems,
so
we're
going
to
do
whatever
we
can
to
negate
any
more
spills.
C
We
had
I
believe
after
Ian
we
had
seven
thousand
gallons
of
spill
spillage,
which
I
don't
think
is
that
much.
We
had
a
letter
from
dep
where
we
had
to
set
up
a
conference
with
them.
I
thought
they
were
going
to
give
us
an
award
for
the
least
amount,
but
that
wasn't
the
case,
but
we're
working
on
that.
We
had
to
write
an
after
action
report
and
explain
what
we
were
going
to
do
in
the
future
to
to
negate
any
more
spills,
and
that's
all
I
have
thank.
A
You
Neil
is
there
any
additional
staff
comments
on
anything,
seeing
none
I'll
go
to
member
comments,
I'll
start
with
Mr
Rogers
I.

A

E
B
B
Dave
abnerholden
for
the
record
I'd
like
to
know
since
Derek
Rooney
Mr
Rooney
has
agreed
to
sit
on
the
board
to
check
Charlotte
Harbor,
Environmental
Center
and
since
we
receive
money
from
the
city,
I
felt
that
for
all
transparency,
I'm
now
the
president
of
the
board
and
I
tricked
him
into
becoming
on
the
board.
So,
but
I
wanted
that
to
be
for
the
record
that
since
we
do
receive
grant.
A

A
G
Of
questions,
if
you
would
people
found
out
that
I'm
on
this
board,
so
I
get
all
sorts
of
questions
from
Friends
random
people
walking
down
the
street
Etc
people
want
to
know
what
happened
to
drop
counter.
My
personal
drop
counter
says:
I
haven't
used
any
water
since
April
10th,
what's
going
on
with
drop
counter?
Is
that
our
function?
Do
we
buy
that?
Why
is
it
not
working?
When
is
it
going
to
start
working
again?
Okay
drop.
C
Counter
is
a
program
that
is
separate
from
the
Ami,
but
it
only
works
when
the
Ami
is
working.
Okay,
Ami
through
zener,
was
down
for
almost
a
month.
They
had
some
internal
server
problems
so
for
that
for
the
entire
month
of
April,
if
everyone
noticed
on
their
their
water
bills
that
they
received
water
bills
were
estimated
for
the
month
of
April,
because
none
of
the
meters
were
sending
out
signals.
G
C
C
C
We
had
a
time
when
we
had
no
rain.
The
Reservoir
level
fell
below
the
five
foot,
so
no
water
was
moving
right
and
it
does
that
periodically
it
where
it
gets
a
real
earthy
taste
to
it,
and
if
that
ever
does
happen,
they
can
just
call
and
we
can
come
out
and
the
distribution
department
will
come
out
and
flush
and
it
usually
clears
up
within
20
minutes.
Okay,.
A
You
Tom
I'll
just
add
that
Neil
and
I
did
speak
during
in
the
break
between
the
meetings.
The
zener
issue,
with
with,
as
far
as
the
meter
reading
issue
is,
was
system-wide
or
many
other
municipalities
that
had
the
same
issue.
So
it
wasn't
anything
tied
to
the
city
of
Punta
Gorda.
It
was
a
manufacturer
issue.
A
One
is
next
next
month,
we'll
need
to
put
since
Mr
carafara
was
our
had
continued
on,
as
Vice
chair
will
need
to
put
the
election
of
a
new
Vice
chair
on
for
the
next
meeting,
I'd
like
to
thank
Dennis
for
all
his
time
on
the
board
he's
been
on
the
board
for
much
longer
than
I
have
and
I
would
thank
him
and
wish
him
well
and
whatever
was
going
on
in
his
life
and
then
I'd
also
like
I
mean
this
is
the
first
meeting
that
that
I've
chaired
to
thank
George
again
for
all
the
time
he's
taken
to
be
the
chair
in
the
past
and
that
with
that
I
have
nothing
else.
