Trustees debate sewer inspection versus expensive comprehensive study
Summary
The board reviewed past JEO bids for a WWTP condition inspection ($5,000–$10,000) and a $35,000 long-term comprehensive study; Chair Peterson favored repairs over a full study while Trustee Ruble supported an inspection to create a clear map for phased work.
During the water and sewer budget review the board examined prior bids from engineering firm JEO: a $5,000–$10,000 assessment of the wastewater treatment plant condition and a $35,000 comprehensive long-term improvement study. Trustee Burklund asked whether the studies would address concerns raised by Roland; Chair Scott Peterson said he preferred directing money to repairs instead of commissioning a study.
Trustee Ruble said he would accept an inspection and mapping exercise to inform a phased approach: "He wouldn’t have a problem with doing an inspection to make sure everything is looked at and have a clear map to address things as we go along," the record shows. The board increased outside services in the sewer budget to $40,000 and asked that Johnson work with Roland to coordinate inspections or work as needed; a final decision on which JEO scope to accept was left for follow-up.
