Council approves interim task order with Burns & McDonnell to maintain industrial pretreatment program
Summary
With three long-time industrial pretreatment staff retiring, the council approved a task order with Burns & McDonnell to provide continuity in monitoring industrial users and help the city work with Kansas City and regulators on a long-term interjurisdictional agreement.
The council approved a task order with Burns & McDonnell to continue industrial pretreatment services while the city navigates regulatory changes and staff retirements affecting the program.
Public works staff explained the program monitors larger industrial users’ wastewater discharges and that three program employees are retiring after decades of service. The interim contract is intended to provide operational continuity, maintain compliance with EPA and state requirements, and allow staff to negotiate a longer-term arrangement with Kansas City. A council member moved approval and the motion passed by voice vote.
