City Council Minutes September 5, 2006 Page 7of11 ---------------------------- Discussion was held regarding whose engineer should be the full time engineer on the project. Council Member Bolz-Andolshek indicated that he would like to avoid double engineering to keep the cost down for the developer. Discussion was held regarding liability if the developer's engineer is the prime engineer. City Engineer Tim Houle reminded the Council that the City would be taking over the improvements. Brett Twardy recommended to use the City's engineer as the full time engineer due to the liability issues and the fact that the City will take over the system. The Council discussed the timing of the City taking ownership of the improvements. Following discussion, the Council concurred with the concept of the draft developer's agreement. The Council requested Staff to work with the Attorney to draft a developer's agreement for the Council to review at the October Council meeting. 8. Fire Chief's Report Report by Fire Chief Nelson. 9. Water/Wastewater Report Report by Brett Twardy. Discussion was held regarding City departments using City water without paying for it. Brett Twardy gave some cost estimates for water usage at the Trailside park. Council Member Nagel requested an estimate of the gallons used by the City Hall, Fire Department, Chamber Building, Senior Center and water plant. 9.1. Northeast Sanitary Sewer Improvements Dawn Bittner indicated that the Council discussed the possible extension of sanitary sewer from County Road 112 to the beauty salon next to City Hall because of concerns relating to waste from the beauty salon entering the septic tank and drainfield. Dawn indicated that the City inspected the individual sewage systems and all were found to be compliant. Following discussion, it was the consensus of the Council to have staff inform the property owners of both beauty salons that they would have to install holding tanks which is much less expensive than extending sanitary sewer and water to the sites.
