Hansz, P.E., Director of Public warps SUBJECT: Call for Public Hearing --- Sewer operating Fund Budget Amendment MEETING DATE: March 2, 2009 BACKGROUND: At the present time, sewage from. north Kalispell flows to the Grandview sewage lift station. From there, sewage is pumped through town to the City's wastewater treatment plant. Capacity of the Grandview lift station, and the older downtown sewer system, is limited and an upgrade is needed to accommodate the increased flow from these new development projects. A lift station upgrade project is included in the approved Capital Improvement Plan for the Sewer Operating fund. This project was originally planned for a future date but not anticipated for several years. The City has approved several new development projects north of the City center. These projects will greatly increase flows into the lift station. In view of this, upgrading the lift station was included as a condition of approval by the City and MDEQ for several of the new developments in order to accommodate their aggressive building schedules. However, recent disruption of the housing market has resulted in extended delays in the work. In order to maintain adequate capacity on the Grandview lift station and allow for the continued orderly development of the north Kalispell area, staff believes it is prudent to move forward the previously planned future lift station upgrade project to this budget year. The lift station upgrade project along with the necessary downstream pipeline upgrades have been designed and are under review by NiDEQ. Approval is expected shortly, which will allow construction in early spring when weather and soil conditions become favorable. The project is estimated to cost $500,000. These funds are available in the impact fee account. Bidding the project and expenditure of the funds will require an amendment of the budget.
