Swisher council seeks sewer-inspection proposals, authorizes use of remaining Fund 330 bonds
Summary
The City Council voted unanimously to seek proposals to televise the first four sanitary sewer regions, request reports on lining and repair needs, and to use remaining bonds in Fund 330—Capital Projects—Division Street to pay for the work.
City Engineer Tim Cutsforth reviewed the Sanitary Sewer Maintenance Program and the Swisher City Council voted to seek proposals to televise the first four sewer regions and to require each proposal include a report identifying lining needs and repairs. The motion (mover: Adam Roeder; second: Michael Stagg) carried unanimously.
Cutsforth presented the program as part of regular infrastructure maintenance; the minutes record the council's direction to evaluate televising to identify where lining or repairs are needed. The council authorized using remaining bond proceeds in Fund 330—Capital Projects, Division Street—to pay for the televising and related work.
City Clerk Shelley Annis separately reviewed draft revisions to City Code Chapters 95 and 99 that were prepared at the direction of the City Attorney after property owners raised disputes about alleged overcharges for sewer services. Those code changes are pending legal review and may be considered as an ordinance at a future meeting.
The council's action is a procurement direction: staff will solicit proposals for camera inspection of the identified regions, return findings on lining or repair needs, and report cost estimates and timelines back to the council. The minutes do not specify a dollar amount for the work or the remaining Fund 330 bond balance; those details will be determined during the procurement and subsequent staff reports.
