City staff reports progress on filter-media plan, meters and hires new employee
Summary
Council heard brief operational updates: staff told the council the filter-media emergency replacement plan is still in progress with an update expected by Feb. 17, a second phase of the meter replacement program is being planned to start after the April reading, and a recently hired employee, Ella, will attend a future work session.
Chair opened the meeting with calendar notes and asked staff for updates. Bill, a staff member, reported several operational items for council consideration and future briefing.
Bill said a filter-media emergency replacement plan remains under development and that he expects to bring an update to the council, likely at the Feb. 17 meeting. “We’re still working on that,” Bill said, adding he planned to provide more detail within the next month.
Bill also reported the city is planning a second phase of its meter replacement program. “We hope to try to kick that off right after the April reading,” he said, and noted the first phase “went really well.”
On staffing, Bill said the city recently hired an employee named Ella and that staff will bring her to a March or April work session so she can get oriented and explain what she is working on. “She’s busy trying to just weed through everything that’s there,” Bill said.
Bill confirmed the council’s meeting date on Feb. 17 and said staff plans to conduct another council walkthrough at the City Hall Public Safety Building that day and expects to do one or two additional walkthroughs before the related project is finished.
The items reported were presented as updates; no formal votes or policy actions were taken on the filter-media plan, the meter program or the staffing matter during the meeting. The council received the updates and expects further detail at upcoming sessions, with a stated update likely on Feb. 17.
