City updates: wastewater upgrades, Mill Street storage building, and County Road 606 relocation
Summary
Staff reported wastewater treatment plant equipment is expected this summer following long lead times and an ADEM funding drawdown; a Mill Street storage building slab and erection are expected in the next 30–60 days; County Road 606 relocation for an FAA-runway extension remains on schedule with FAA funding covering 97.5%.
City staff provided updates on several capital projects. Speaker 3 said the wastewater treatment plant contractor is on schedule and waiting on long-lead screens and equipment ordered earlier; installation is expected this summer and the city has completed an initial drawdown from the ADEM State Revolving Loan/Grant program totaling approximately $3.5 million with debt forgiveness noted.
On the Mill Street storage building, Speaker 3 said the manufacturer was selected after soliciting quotes, a purchase order is issued, and the city expects slab pouring and building erection within 30–45 days; the structure will serve as secured storage with two roll-up doors and one personnel door.
Regarding airport-related work, Speaker 3 described County Road 606 as part of a three-phase runway extension project (road relocation, 500-foot extension to reach 5,600 feet, and a later 400-foot extension on the opposite end). The city secured property over several years and the project is FAA-funded at roughly 97.5 percent; staff will post public information once the contractor provides an updated schedule.
