Uh this year 88 00:25:19,919 --> 00:25:21,919 the utility has experienced higher than 89 00:25:21,919 --> 00:25:24,400 typical number of pump rebuilds and 90 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,159 replacements due to several contributing 91 00:25:26,159 --> 00:25:29,039 factors that included a wet spring uh 92 00:25:29,039 --> 00:25:31,039 which caused the system to increase in 93 00:25:31,039 --> 00:25:32,720 flow requiring pumps to operate more 94 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,440 frequently and for longer durations than 95 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,039 may be normal. Additionally, several 96 00:25:37,039 --> 00:25:39,520 pumps um had reached the end of their 97 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,440 expected service life requiring repair 98 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,919 and replacement. This included several 99 00:25:43,919 --> 00:25:45,279 older pumps at the main lift station 100 00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:48,000 which were originally installed in 2012. 101 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,520 They experienced failures this year 102 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:50,880 requiring immediate repairs and 103 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,120 replacements to maintain a reliable 104 00:25:53,120 --> 00:25:55,840 wastewater surface to the main plant. 105 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,480 Those pumps that were repaired u move 106 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,080 the waste from the main lift to the 107 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,799 plant. The next agenda item tonight is 108 00:26:02,799 --> 00:26:05,120 items addressed to replace two high flow 109 00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:06,799 or peak capacity pumps at the main lift 110 00:26:06,799 --> 00:26:08,960 station that uh pushes flow from the 111 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,279 main lift to the equalization basin for 112 00:26:11,279 --> 00:26:13,200 high flow events. Those pumps were 113 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,080 originally installed in 2017 114 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,360 and reached the point where they had 115 00:26:17,360 --> 00:26:18,880 failed either needing rebuild or 116 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,279 replacement. And at this point, um it's 117 00:26:21,279 --> 00:26:23,440 a better value to purchase new than it 118 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,039 is to rebuild those motors. In total, 119 00:26:27,039 --> 00:26:30,559 this budget line item um pump and motor 120 00:26:30,559 --> 00:26:32,559 maintenance supports the wastewater 121 00:26:32,559 --> 00:26:34,559 system, which includes eight total lift 122 00:26:34,559 --> 00:26:37,440 stations and 21 various pumps of 123 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,360 different makes and models.

Uh, the 126 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:43,840 requested budget amendment is to 127 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,240 increase the budget from 45,000 to 128 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,320 135,000. Thank you. 129 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,320 >> Thank you, Matt. Does the board have any 130 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,390 questions for Matt? 131 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,159 » How does this affect our overall budget? 132 00:26:56,159 --> 00:26:59,760 I mean, we've got the money or how tight 133 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:00,720 are we? 134 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,640 >> Yeah, we we'll be fine. We have healthy 135 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,400 fund balances. Last year, we added to 136 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,320 fund balance in the wastewater fund. Um, 137 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,960 so as these pumps go, um, you know, some 138 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,320 years are better than others. Just 139 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,159 depends on when they were put in 140 00:27:12,159 --> 00:27:13,600 service, when the lift station was added 141 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,159 with growth. Um, you know, over the last 142 00:27:16,159 --> 00:27:18,480 few years, we've averaged about 40,000 143 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,520 in repairs. Uh, back in 2022, we we had 144 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,240 95,000 in repairs. So, this does kind of 145 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:25,679 eb and flow with time, 146 00:27:25,679 --> 00:27:28,080 >> but we will be fine with our budget um 147 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:32,789 in reserves. 148 00:27:32,799 --> 00:27:35,919 » So, they're two separate 149 00:27:35,919 --> 00:27:38,559 uh ordinances or or discussions and it's 150 00:27:38,559 --> 00:27:40,559 hard to answer one without having 151 00:27:40,559 --> 00:27:42,400 questions on the second. Is that fair? 152 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,559 >> That's fair. Yeah, sure. 153 00:27:44,559 --> 00:27:49,039 >> So, can I ask questions on the on the second? Um 154 00:27:49,039 --> 00:27:50,880 >> you mean can you ask questions now 155 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,039 regarding to the second agenda item 156 00:27:53,039 --> 00:27:54,320 >> because we're you're asking us to 157 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,880 approve the the fund transfer? 158 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,200 >> I'm asking you to we're the ordinance is 159 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,799 asking you to amend the budget. Yes. 160 00:28:02,799 --> 00:28:05,520 But 161 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,840 >> you can ask questions regarding the the pump the pumps. 162 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:10,720 >> Okay. Yes, 163 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:15,440 >> that's that's point is because Okay, so 164 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:21,840 there's a pretty big difference in the bids. Um and 165 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,520 you chose the lowest obviously or or we 166 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:29,120 need to go with the lowest bid. Um, and 167 00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:30,799 I was just curious because I didn't see 168 00:28:30,799 --> 00:28:33,120 in here. I see that that the the one the 169 00:28:33,120 --> 00:28:35,120 horsepower, the RPMs, everything that 170 00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:38,080 we're going with or or if we vote to go 171 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,799 with it. Um, but I didn't see what the 172 00:28:40,799 --> 00:28:43,600 other pumps were as far as their 173 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,440 capacity. Were there any difference in 174 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,279 that? 175 00:28:47,279 --> 00:28:50,080 >> Uh, no. Two of the quotes, the low bid 176 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,039 was 33,000, the mid bid was 45,000. Uh, 177 00:28:53,039 --> 00:28:55,840 both of those included uh pump 178 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,240 specifications. So the low bid is is 179 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,080 going to is a sulcer pump. The mid bid 180 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,480 was a homoma pump. And those pumps uh 181 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,640 meet the requirements uh that we put out 182 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:05,600 with our bid. So 183 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,120 >> and they're both 20 horsepower. 184 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,200 >> They Yeah.

Uh Rand 192 00:29:22,399 --> 00:29:24,240 Construction, which was the high bid of 193 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,039 111,000 was new.

Uh 324 00:34:20,240 --> 00:34:21,760 and while the city has not received any 325 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:25,040 development inquiries regarding u AI or 326 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,359 data centers um staff is recommending 327 00:34:27,359 --> 00:34:28,879 that we do a proactive approach to 328 00:34:28,879 --> 00:34:31,839 address this emerging land use um and 329 00:34:31,839 --> 00:34:33,359 allow adequate time to evaluate and 330 00:34:33,359 --> 00:34:36,159 amend the UDC as may be necessary. So 331 00:34:36,159 --> 00:34:37,679 under our code the the board may 332 00:34:37,679 --> 00:34:39,679 establish an administrative delay on 333 00:34:39,679 --> 00:34:41,280 certain applications for a period of up 334 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,919 to one year.

But 404 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,610 >> um what the the concept is that 405 00:37:11,610 --> 00:37:12,880 [clears throat] we're going to adopt 406 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,400 regulations 407 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,119 and we want people that are going to be 408 00:37:17,119 --> 00:37:19,680 able to that want to do this type of use 409 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,599 to do it in accordance with our 410 00:37:21,599 --> 00:37:23,440 regulations. So you don't want people 411 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,119 running in the door trying to get ahead 412 00:37:25,119 --> 00:37:28,000 of our regulations. Now, arguably with a 413 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,800 data center, um, we don't believe that 414 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,640 that's an allowed use currently under 415 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,280 the code anyway, but someone could 416 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,440 attempt to argue otherwise. You know, 417 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,520 how creative some people can get. 418 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:39,839 >> Yes. 419 00:37:39,839 --> 00:37:42,880 >> So, I think um Matt's approach is is the 420 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,640 right way to handle this. It does give 421 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,760 us time to study it and for you all to 422 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,880 study the options and and adopt 423 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,680 regulations that fit the community. Mhm. 424 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,760 >> And then if we adopt regulations before 425 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,760 the one-year mark, does this still stay 426 00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,760 in place for the full year or does it 427 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,079 expire upon adopting regulations? 428 00:38:02,079 --> 00:38:04,880 >> It typically expires once you've adopted 429 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,520 resolution or um regulations. I think it 430 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:11,280 says that at the end it stays in place 431 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,920 until you've adopted regulations because 432 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:15,599 at that point you don't need to delay it 433 00:38:15,599 --> 00:38:16,160 anymore. 434 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:16,720 >> Sure. Right. 435 00:38:16,720 --> 00:38:18,079 >> I see that. Okay. [clears throat] Thank 436 00:38:18,079 --> 00:38:18,720 you. 437 00:38:18,720 --> 00:38:20,720 >> Thank you. So one year is the maximum 438 00:38:20,720 --> 00:38:23,040 time we could do this, right? Yes, 439 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:24,320 >> typical 440 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,119 >> although I think it does provide and we 441 00:38:27,119 --> 00:38:28,880 actually have this whole administrative 442 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,520 delay processes in our code and I think 443 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,880 it does allow for an extension of time 444 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,119 if necessary. I don't think we 445 00:38:37,119 --> 00:38:40,160 anticipate that would be necessary but 446 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,640 it does allow the board to extend for 447 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,200 good reason. 448 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,280 >> I believe the county has a moratorum 449 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,640 right now too. Um I'm not sure how that 450 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:54,640 works. If there's a mortorium 451 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,440 that would also not have us be able to 452 00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,119 put it in a data station too, right? It 453 00:38:59,119 --> 00:39:01,200 protects us from that. Of course, I know 454 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:02,720 they can always drop that. I'm just 455 00:39:02,720 --> 00:39:04,560 trying to understand the how that works. 456 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,960 >> The county's regulations have no impact 457 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:08,480 within the city. 458 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,280 >> Okay. Okay. Thank I'm not I've lost 459 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:12,880 track of what they're doing, but I know 460 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,680 they had a moratorum or something, but 461 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:17,599 >> they they don't have any authority 462 00:39:17,599 --> 00:39:19,760 jurisdiction over our land use 463 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:21,760 regulations within the city, 464 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,359 >> but they would on the land just outside 465 00:39:23,359 --> 00:39:24,320 of city limits. 466 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:24,800 >> Yes. 467 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,720 >> So, the uninorporated areas 468 00:39:26,720 --> 00:39:28,160 >> as we make our decisions, that's good a 469 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:29,280 good thing to watch. 470 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:30,720 >> Right. Thank you for the clarification 471 00:39:30,720 --> 00:39:32,000 because I assumed when they said they 472 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,599 had a mortorium that included the whole 473 00:39:33,599 --> 00:39:35,440 county, but it's only for unincorporated 474 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:36,480 areas. Right. 475 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,839 >> Okay. Thank you. 476 00:39:39,839 --> 00:39:41,440 That's good. Thank you. I didn't know. 477 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:49,829 >> Good discussion.
