tee members Nystul and Ruiz, Superintendent Hughes, DPW Hammer and Engineer Dennis Carver.
North Main Sewer Line

award of the low bid to Pack & Company.
of 1974 Storm Sewer Plan
The request by the staff for Thomas, Dean & Hoskins to update their 1974 storm sewer plan
was approved. The cost should not be too great because they have all the original com-
putations.
Water Quality Hearing

sented our basic statement.
Water Line to Heritage Health Center
The water line to Heritage Health Center is only required'to be 8". The staff would like
a 12" line for future growth. The committee agreed the City should pay the additional
cost.
• Sewer Line Easement Obstructions
The staff called the attention of the committee to easements the City has for sewer lines
where the residents, have built fences or landscaped. These are south of Charlotte Street
and north of Wedgewood Lane. The staff will write letters advising the residents of the
line and the potential for the City to have access to the manholes.
Budget
The Superintendent stated the elevated tank interior needs painting. it is included in
the budget, as is the outside painting. The inside paint is polyurathane. The cost is
higher but will .last longer and grafitti can be wiped off. He suggested painting the
outside in the design of the Kalispell logo. .Most other items in the water budget will
be routine with -more meter replacement.
Sewer Budget
The acquisition of a TV camera was discussed. Plant modifications will also have to be
budgeted for. An additional FTE is required at the,plant. The committee authorized
the drafting of a job description. '
Water Sewer Rates
The Chairman expressed two areas of concern on the proposed water sewer rates. One is
the 200% surcharge.on out -of -city sewer and the other is the multiple charge for com-
mercial units. Tom Flynn will be asked to the next meeting so that the Resolution can
be passed on at the next Council meeting. _
