Board discusses wastewater stillpad project, EPA review and financing options
Summary
Staff presented an engineer's opinion of probable cost for a wastewater stillpad project and noted EPA review may be required (up to 90 days); board discussed using sewer reserves and bidding strategy for a project estimated around $220,000.
Staff member (speaker 3) reviewed the opinion of probable cost for the proposed stillpad and said the project requires EPA review/approval, which could take up to 90 days. The project is not in the current budget; staff recommended pursuing EPA pre-review and preparing to advertise for bids so work could proceed after budget timelines allowed.
Committee members discussed financing options, including using sewer fee reserves or bridging funds from the general fund to cover part of the cost. Committee member (speaker 6) noted the project estimate as roughly "220 something thousand" and suggested putting the work out to bid to see actual costs before committing fund transfers. The board agreed to proceed with engineering follow-up and bid solicitation as appropriate.
