[2:11] When speaking, speak through the chair

[2:14] and identify staff by position.

[2:17] This portion of the meeting will have no motions made

[2:20] by the Council and will serve as an information and discussion meeting.

[2:25] Information will be presented to Council and the public to better understand

[2:29] not only current events and activities in the cities in the city, but to preview

[2:33] future potential agenda bills to be voted on at a later date.

[2:38] In a council meeting,

[2:41] the council will have discussion following each presentation

[2:44] by staff and the opportunity to ask questions of the presenter.

[2:47] I will initially call on each council member for questions and subsequent

[2:51] questions by raising their hand and waiting for the chair to acknowledge.

[2:55] Audience members will not be able to participate

[2:58] in this portion of the meeting. Council.

[3:01] Council discussions will be followed by action items moving the agenda Bill.

[3:15] First on the agenda this evening is

[3:18] passage presentation.

[3:24] Do we have from Washington here this evening?

[3:28] Yes. They are joining us virtually tonight.

[3:30] Thank you.

[3:32] Yes. Good evening.

[3:33] Yes. I'm here to give the presentation.

[3:35] Let me see if I can share my screen with you.

[3:50] All right.

[3:50] Can you all see the.

[3:53] Yes. Yes.

[3:56] Okay.

[3:57] Well, thank you all for letting me again tonight.

[3:59] My name is Joey Bernal.

[4:01] I'm a project engineer with Washington State Department

[4:04] of Transportation, and I'm here tonight to talk about the SR 162

[4:08] auditing vicinity Roundabout and Fish Passage project

[4:12] that is located just south east of city limits.

[4:18] So in this bundle

[4:19] we have a bundle of three separate sites that we're putting together for contract.

[4:26] Advertisement.

[4:28] The first site is Cod Creek.

[4:30] It's a fish bear removal project.

[4:33] It's located just north of the Baxter Manufacturing there on SR 162.

[4:40] The second site is to the east of that, about a mile.

[4:43] It's also on 162.

[4:45] It's a creek.

[4:46] Remove fish barrier project

[4:49] in the third site is that the intersection of Orrville Road

[4:53] and SR 162,

[4:57] where we got an intersection improvement project.

[5:01] So the purpose of these projects, Card and Roush Creek,

[5:05] they are the existing culverts or barriers

[5:08] of fish passage.

[5:11] All of you might be aware that the state

[5:13] had a federal injunction in place where we need to replace Fish barriers.

[5:19] These two sites are on that injunction list.

[5:21] So the state is required to correct these barriers.

[5:25] And the site the Orrville Road intersection improvement.

[5:29] We're going to put a roundabout there.

[5:31] It's a safety animal build improvement project.

[5:35] So a couple of reasons why we're bundling these together is all pretty close

[5:40] together in about the same timeline for construction.

[5:43] So it's easier if we bundle them together to have one contractor to minimize

[5:47] construction impacts to the public, minimize the risk to the schedule

[5:51] by having one contractor, and we reduce costs for all three sites.

[5:59] So I'm going to dig

[6:00] into each one of these projects a little bit more detail individually.

[6:03] So our car creek there by Burley or Baxter Manufacturing

[6:08] existing culvert is only about two foot by three foot.

[6:11] It's a pretty small diameter culvert.

[6:14] We're going to replace it with a 30ft wide by ten foot tall concrete box culvert.

[6:19] That's a pretty big box culvert.

[6:22] And the soils out there aren't the best.

[6:24] So we're having to do some ground improvements under the structure itself.

[6:28] So we're going to make some stone columns that go about down about 20ft

[6:32] under the structure.

[6:34] So keep that in mind when we talk about in a little bit about the water main

[6:39] that goes along SR 162.

[6:43] The existing culvert is located

[6:46] just to the west side of Baxter Manufacturing.

[6:50] We're actually going to shift it 500ft to the east.

[6:54] And a few reasons for that.

[6:57] The culvert self, the new culvert we need to have about three feet of freeboard

[7:02] above the existing water surface elevation to the bottom of the culvert.

[7:07] And to do that we need to raise the profile of the highway.

[7:10] The highway is going to be raised about five feet.

[7:13] If we kept the existing culvert where it is now,

[7:17] that highway profile raised would impact

[7:19] the intersection of Oroville Road.

[7:23] We'd have some complications with all the driveways, impacts

[7:26] for manufacturing and the private parcels on the north side.

[7:30] So we're shifting that culvert to the east 500ft.

[7:34] It gets us away from the intersection.

[7:36] It helps us with drainage with the driveways.

[7:39] And we avoid two existing culverts under adjacent driveways.

[7:47] And during construction when we build this,

[7:50] we're going to build a temporary roadway on the north side of the roadway.

[7:53] You might hear is called called a shoo fly.

[7:57] It's going to be a two lane shoe fly on the north side.

[7:59] So two lanes of traffic going through for the most part

[8:02] during construction, there will be times when we have

[8:06] a single lane closure.

[8:09] We'll have fiber butter.

[8:10] So there will be impacts of traffic at some points.

[8:14] But for the most part we'll have that two lanes to fly when we're installing

[8:17] the culvert construction, then start late spring early

[8:22] summer next year.

[8:25] So any questions on the Card Creek side?

[8:32] Okay.

[8:32] We'll move on to the street side.

[8:35] Like I said, this is about a mile to the east.

[8:38] This project will be replacing two existing three foot diameter metal

[8:43] culverts.

[8:44] The structure here is a little bigger, is 40ft wide by 12ft tall.

[8:49] The reason for

[8:50] that is since we have two existing culverts, it's a braided stream.

[8:55] We're going to try to keep those braids within the new culvert.

[8:59] It's just more natural that way for the existing stream

[9:02] trying to match what's out there now.

[9:05] This site had the same issue that we have our country.

[9:07] We need that minimum three foot freeboard from the water surface

[9:11] elevation to the bottom of the the lid of the culvert.

[9:15] So we're going to raise the profile at this site too.

[9:17] We got to raise at about five feet.

[9:20] And as a site we had a house directly adjacent to the culvert

[9:24] with their driveway.

[9:26] And we had troubles tying in their driveway.

[9:29] So what we're going to do,

[9:30] we're going to shift the entire highway about 12ft to the north.

[9:33] That gives us a little bit of room to tie that driveway in.

[9:37] Better to that house.

[9:40] At this site,

[9:41] we're going to have a shoe fly once again, just like Khatri.

[9:44] It's only going to be a single, single lane shoe fly,

[9:48] since we don't have as much traffic

[9:49] as we have with the intersection of Orbital Road.

[9:52] So we'll have the single lens to fly on the north side of the road.

[9:55] We're going to have a temporary signal system there

[9:59] that will give traffic alternating times to go

[10:04] this site once again, just like car trade, will start construction

[10:07] late spring early summer next year.

[10:13] Then the third site

[10:14] is the Oval Road roundabout that we're proposing.

[10:17] It's going to be a single lane roundabout.

[10:19] They'll eliminate that stop condition you have now on Orrville

[10:23] Road as the comes up to that T intersection.

[10:27] One of the benefits of doing the roundabout

[10:30] at the same time as car trade and the same project,

[10:33] we're going to widen the shoulders from the roundabout down as card trick.

[10:37] So you can have four foot shoulders for that 4 or 500ft.

[10:42] So that's a nice improvement during construction of the roundabout.

[10:47] Roundabouts have a lot of moving pieces a lot of work.

[10:50] We're going to have to have a single lane souffle during for construction.

[10:55] So there will be impacts because we'll have a single lane

[10:58] open for the duration of construction.

[11:01] We couldn't get away from that construction.

[11:04] The roundabout is scheduled for spring summer of 2028.

[11:09] So a year after that, the two culverts.

[11:13] The reason for that is currently needed to get constructed

[11:16] first due to some stormwater issues, and we just didn't

[11:21] have enough time to construct Car Creek and the roundabout in 2027.

[11:25] So the roundabout got bumped into early 2028.

[11:31] So for the project schedule,

[11:34] we're going out for contractor beds in November.

[11:39] We're expecting to open those bids in December and award the project soon after.

[11:44] Like I already said, I am Rausch Creek.

[11:47] Construction will start in late spring 2027 and extended to the fall,

[11:53] and construction of the roundabout will start in spring 2028

[11:57] and extend into the summer.

[12:01] So all of you might be worried

[12:03] about the impacts to the City of Ordinance infrastructure.

[12:07] That's all three sites.

[12:10] The city's water main.

[12:13] Is adjacent to all three sites within wash shots right away.

[12:17] So it's a conflict and it's got to get relocated.

[12:23] So we're going to the options were relocate the water

[12:25] main prior to wash Dot's project coming through or do it at the same time.

[12:31] Sometimes I do want to point out is the city's water

[12:34] main is in our right of way by franchise.

[12:38] So what that means is there's no property rights

[12:41] that the city owns, so any relocation costs are.

[12:46] The city has to cover

[12:49] the existing water line.

[12:51] The concrete main that's undersized and obsolete.

[12:55] So this project had the opportunity

[12:57] to upgrade about 1900 feet of water main.

[13:01] We got 1400 feet at the the roundabout and Car Creek site.

[13:07] They'll get upgraded to a 12 inch five.

[13:09] And that Rausch Creek got about 500ft.

[13:12] Upgraded to an eight inch pipe.

[13:16] And the water main replacement will happen

[13:18] at the same time as the watchdog project.

[13:21] So right now we work with your engineer.

[13:24] Consultant paramedics.

[13:26] We got all the water main work in our contract.

[13:30] It's all in the schedule, the working days.

[13:33] So we all go out together.

[13:37] So we did

[13:38] look at a few different options before we included this work in our project.

[13:44] The first

[13:45] option was the city could have had a separate project

[13:48] and relocated prior to the watchdog project coming through.

[13:52] Probably not a really good option,

[13:55] but as I mentioned earlier, we had all those ground improvements

[13:58] at cartridge where we're going down 20ft under the Culver itself.

[14:03] That would require the water main to be bored

[14:06] 35ft below a car creek.

[14:09] It's pretty difficult

[14:12] access for maintenance, and it's got a high cost when we got bored that deep.

[14:16] So in the city would have additional cost to.

[14:19] If you would have had a separate project, you would have had traffic control,

[14:23] you got covered by yourself.

[14:25] You got repaving, the highway mobilization and just a boring cost.

[14:29] The self is pretty spendy.

[14:34] The second option would have been advertise.

[14:38] The city could advertise a separate project

[14:40] and relocated during the watchdog project.

[14:44] That's not really a good option for the city or watchdog,

[14:48] because you would have had two different contractors working in a small work zone.

[14:53] That's just a recipe

[14:56] for conflict between the contractors claims against the city and the state,

[15:01] because one contractor might have been the way of the other one.

[15:04] So just not a really good option for us.

[15:08] The third option is what we went with

[15:10] that we worked with your engineering consultant to put together.

[15:14] Did we partner together and Wash advertising,

[15:18] the joint project to relocate the water main as part of our project?

[15:23] This cost savings with that,

[15:25] because we share our mobilization, we share on traffic control

[15:29] and for the most part washed off when we paying for all the repaving.

[15:34] Because as I mentioned, that card and Roush, we get that profile adjustment.

[15:38] We're rebuilding hundreds of feet of road.

[15:41] The contractor can come in, come in there at the beginning of the project.

[15:45] They can install the water main and any pavement that they were going to damage.

[15:49] We were going to replace anyways.

[15:52] So it's a cost savings for the city.

[15:54] It minimizes schedule risk.

[15:57] If you have one contractor doing all the work

[15:59] and the best part of it for long term maintenance for the city.

[16:03] The water mains itself are going on the structure,

[16:06] so it's easy for them to access them for any maintenance in the future.

[16:11] And it saves cost if you're not boring far down below the stream.

[16:18] So we work with the consultant.

[16:19] We put together the responsibilities in the construction agreement

[16:23] by what it will do and what the city will do, so

[16:29] that our contractor will remove, deactivate

[16:32] and dispose of all the specialist concrete water main that's out there now.

[16:36] Our contractor will install the temporary water service

[16:41] throughout construction because we got we got to make sure

[16:44] all the adjacent parcels have water service.

[16:47] Our contractor will install the new water main service

[16:50] line and disinfect, flush and test and new system.

[16:54] So it's just a kind of a one stop shop for installing that water main.

[17:00] The contractor will do all the as built drawings

[17:03] that the city engineering department required, and will minister the contract.

[17:08] So we will have the inspectors out there and we will process the

[17:12] payments to the contractor.

[17:15] So the work performed by the city

[17:17] is the city will continue to operate the water system as they do now,

[17:22] and the work through us to tell the contractor

[17:25] what needs to be done.

[17:29] The city will provide

[17:30] assistance in just in time training for our inspectors.

[17:33] We don't do a lot of water main work, so our inspectors don't.

[17:37] Not all the inspectors have a lot of knowledge in it.

[17:40] Was that just in time training for inspectors?

[17:42] They're going to know what to look for during construction.

[17:46] The city engineer is made available

[17:49] for any questions or fill changes during construction.

[17:52] That was key for us because questions always come up during construction.

[17:57] The city will attend any pre-construction or pre-work activity meetings

[18:02] related to the water main work, so we'll make sure the city engineer

[18:07] is there and any concerns that the city has can get shared

[18:11] with washed out, and the contractor and the city will provide

[18:15] on site representation for connecting the live system.

[18:19] Pressure testing and bacteria testing.

[18:26] So the estimated cost

[18:28] to all this work in our contract.

[18:31] That's what you will see in the construction agreement

[18:34] between the city and state is about 1.59 million.

[18:39] That estimate includes the water main construction costs

[18:43] and includes construction services, engineering charge 20%.

[18:48] And the indirect costs are the markups we have to do.

[18:53] We have to include when we do work for a local agency

[18:58] and during construction, wash shop

[19:01] will invoice the city for all the construction costs.

[19:05] So we have that reimbursable agreement set up where

[19:10] we can get that water main relocated

[19:12] and we can just invoice the city.

[19:18] Do you have any questions about any of these three sites

[19:22] or the water main relocation work?

[19:26] Thank you, Mr.

[19:27] Brunel.

[19:27] First question from Council Member Reid.

[19:33] Yeah, the $1.5 million.

[19:34] That's the cost to the city. Yes.

[19:38] And the other question I have is the completion date

[19:43] projected

[19:45] for the water line and the roundabout

[19:48] and the fish passageways

[19:51] complete for Carl Creek and Rausch Creek.

[19:54] Completion would be fall of 2027.

[19:58] And for the roundabout that would be summer of 2028.

[20:05] And back to that first question about the cost.

[20:08] The the green between the city and the state is at that 1.59 million.

[20:13] I believe the total

[20:16] told to the the council is slightly higher than that

[20:20] because parametric have some costs included on that.

[20:23] That isn't in that agreement.

[20:28] Thank you.

[20:28] Thank you. Councilmember Tracy.

[20:31] Did I understand when those culverts go in.

[20:34] They're going to be the the tops are raised up five feet.

[20:39] The roadway surface is being raised five feet. Yes.

[20:42] At both those locations. Correct.

[20:45] And so the roundabout basically is going to be raised at least five feet also.

[20:51] We will tie

[20:52] back into the existing ground before you get to the hump in the road.

[20:57] It'll be kind of a hump in the road.

[20:58] Yes, it'll be designed to all design standards

[21:02] for vertical profiles.

[21:05] Okay.

[21:08] Thank you.

[21:08] Any further questions from council?

[21:14] Deputy mayor?

[21:17] I guess more for the city.

[21:20] So we're going to be assisting in training.

[21:24] Washed out for

[21:27] doing inspections.

[21:28] Do we currently have that capability?

[21:35] We have.

[21:37] Do we have staff to be

[21:40] inspections that we're going to be training to do?

[21:44] Yeah.

[21:44] So I thought we had gotten rid of our inspectors.

[21:49] Yeah.

[21:49] I, I'm not quite sure where where Mr.

[21:53] Brunell was coming from on that one that we were looking

[21:56] at bringing in an inspector for, for that for our portion of the project.

[22:00] But maybe you can review that again, Mr.

[22:03] Bruno.

[22:04] Yeah, I can do that.

[22:05] And I have my design team lead here with me today.

[22:07] Braden and I got parametric, and I know they chatted about this quite a bit.

[22:12] So if you all can give some a chime in on that issue.

[22:18] Yeah, I could jump in

[22:21] from parametric working on this project

[22:23] with Dot.

[22:27] The specific point for the inspector

[22:31] responsibility through the city is just to provide in time training.

[22:35] So if there's any specifics on testing

[22:38] requirements or connections or kind of in the field questions

[22:42] that they might have specific water line related.

[22:48] Points that they need

[22:50] along this whole water line construction, they can ask the city and staff

[22:56] that's available as needed.

[23:01] Okay.

[23:01] Thank you.

[23:03] Thank you.

[23:05] To add to this, our our operations staff will be heavily involved in it.

[23:09] Also, there will be a lot of isolation and restoration and flushing of the system.

[23:14] So I think that's what what our parametric engineer is pointing out.

[23:19] I have our public works director here this evening.

[23:22] If you if you wanted to comment on that at all,

[23:25] on your on your role in the project.

[23:34] Can you hear me?

[23:41] Just like.

[23:51] Good evening.

[23:51] Thank you. Can you hear me now?

[23:54] All right.

[23:54] I currently have the contract agreement that was sent over yesterday

[23:58] afternoon that he's referencing.

[24:00] And there are some things that we want to talk

[24:02] about internally to, to figure out some of those finer points.

[24:06] But it is in the contract that, as they mentioned,

[24:08] they're not really familiar with some water main stuff.

[24:11] And I think through JC and my staff, we can coordinate

[24:15] exactly what it is they need from us.

[24:18] Obviously it's our system, so we want to be operating valves

[24:22] and ensuring that our pumps are running and our reservoirs are full,

[24:25] and that customers are taken care of to coordinate any, any of those shutdowns.

[24:29] I would anticipate.

[24:31] And it's not really defined in here.

[24:34] This was going to be a further conversation

[24:36] as we fine tune this before signing it.

[24:38] This isn't signed yet.

[24:39] What it is specifically they need and what it is that staff can provide.

[24:45] Like like the mayor mentioned, we do have plenty of folks on staff

[24:49] that that can assist with things like shut down to the tie ins.

[24:53] There is a temporary water main portion of this.

[24:56] I think it was it was briefly touched on where when they did.

[25:00] I've done a few of these projects myself, and when they dig a hole that deep, it's

[25:03] going to be very impressive.

[25:04] You guys should swing by there

[25:06] when they get going, but we have to take the water main

[25:09] and move it completely out of the way on top of the ground temporarily.

[25:13] Then as they build the structure, we'll put it, remove that

[25:16] and put it back in place for a more permanent location in the future.

[25:21] So there will be a couple of swap outs, testing and reporting to the state.

[25:27] Obviously for any back to back tees will follow our normal back t sample

[25:32] procedures and pressure testing procedures that we have to follow through.

[25:37] And the Department of Health.

[25:39] So I don't.

[25:40] Those are typically things we see well in advance.

[25:43] So everyone on our staff as well as parametric and washed out

[25:48] contractor will have plenty of of lead time as to when those disconnections,

[25:53] reconnection and sampling procedures will need to take place.

[25:58] Thank you,

[26:00] Councilmember Torres.

[26:03] So understand

[26:04] this correctly that this is just the 1.5

[26:07] million is just for a temporary water line

[26:12] for those for the roundabout over here.

[26:16] All to my knowledge, all three locations will require

[26:22] at least two for sure will require the water main

[26:25] to be essentially teed completely out of the way of this excavation.

[26:29] It's going to be quite large.

[26:31] And then when they're done and we're healing the road back together.

[26:34] They'll disconnect that pipe, which we will.

[26:37] We've I've gone through the contract

[26:39] and through the plants to make sure that we're paying for the pipe both times.

[26:43] So when we the new the old pipe

[26:47] that they not old, but the temporary pipe will be returned to the city.

[26:51] That it's our anticipation that we can disinfect those sections

[26:54] of pipe and wrap the ends of them and keep them at our facility

[26:59] for extra pipe, for main breaks and those kinds of things.

[27:01] So we'll keep the temporary pipe in-house and then install the permanent pipe to be

[27:07] then buried underground and under the roadway to,

[27:09] to kind of live in conjunction with the new fish passage.

[27:13] So I got it.

[27:13] That's what that's what the cost is, is both temporary abandonment as well,

[27:18] because you'll be hauling out some of that old AC and disposing of it properly,

[27:22] as well as getting a new permanent restrained joint.

[27:26] Everything's going to be held

[27:27] together real good and ductile iron to replace that AC, which is okay.

[27:31] Thank you.

[27:34] Thank you.

[27:35] Any further questions from council?

[27:39] Okay.

[27:39] Seeing none. Thank you, Director Davidson.

[27:43] Thank you for presenters

[27:46] from paramedics in the state.

[27:50] Thank you.

[27:52] Thank you all.

[27:54] Okay. Thank you.

[27:55] Okay.

[27:55] This evening I have myself on the agenda for item number

[27:59] C for our Water resource Recovery Facility update.

[28:02] I had an opportunity to talk with each of the council members earlier

[28:06] today of some of the.

[28:09] Oh. I'm sorry.

[28:11] Oh, great. Thank you.

[28:12] I guess I'm on their two times.

[28:14] Okay.

[28:14] I guess I'm on item B also.

[28:16] School zone discussion.

[28:18] Just an update for council.

[28:20] Myself and Mr.

[28:23] Wheaton submitted a letter to the state Dot engineer, Andy Larson,

[28:29] to review a request to keep the crosswalk at lane in place.

[28:35] So that's. That's under review by the state.

[28:38] I don't have any updated information on that.

[28:41] And as you chief here, there's really not much to talk

[28:46] about with extending the school zone this evening.

[28:49] What I do want to report is, is that some of the early signage

[28:54] that was put up, I think, has been very helpful

[28:56] to notify citizens that they're entering into a school zone.

[29:00] You may have seen the trailers.

[29:01] You come into town

[29:03] announcing that a school zone school's back in school

[29:06] and it's a pre alert citizens or people passing

[29:11] through on the state highway that there's a school that they're entering into.

[29:15] So hopefully that will help out

[29:18] with the situation some and that.

[29:21] Any questions or comments from council.

[29:23] Council member Reid.

[29:27] Since we're going to leave

[29:28] that crosswalk in there and the cameras

[29:32] for the school zone, would it be possible

[29:35] to raise the school zone in that area to 35 miles an hour,

[29:39] so that we're not slowing down to 20 for a small

[29:43] section?

[29:49] Yep. Yeah.

[29:53] I mean, right now we're probably still writing tickets,

[29:56] a lot of them for 20 miles an hour, when it could be 35.

[30:02] It's my understanding that the school zone speed limit is set by statute.

[30:06] That's 20 miles an hour.

[30:08] I could be wrong there, though.

[30:12] Yeah, right.

[30:13] I'm looking. I'm getting to you right now.

[30:17] I think I brought that up a little bit earlier today.

[30:21] Yeah.

[30:22] The letter that was written to maintain the crosswalk in its current location.

[30:26] It basically acknowledged

[30:29] that there will need to be safety improvements in that area of the highway.

[30:33] And it's under review right now.

[30:36] So once we get word back, we'll bring it back to you.

[30:46] Again, I just I don't think it works very well.

[30:48] Going from 55 to 20 back up to 35.

[30:52] Back down to 20.

[30:55] I mean, we could leave it at 35 until the new school goes in

[30:58] all the way up to to the school, and

[31:02] we're going to put another crosswalk in it at Whitehawk.

[31:07] I, I believe

[31:09] that kind of defeats the purpose of of having the school zone be.

[31:12] The school zone is intended to be a slower zone to protect, protect the kids.

[31:17] I thought I thought the problem was that

[31:18] we had people speeding through there at 60 miles an hour, and at 35,

[31:24] I don't think it as big an issue,

[31:27] but that's just my opinion.

[31:32] Okay.

[31:33] Thank you.

[31:34] Attorney void. Yeah.

[31:36] So Council member Reid, if it if it is a designated school zone,

[31:42] state statute RCMP 4661 440 does say the maximum speed is 20 miles an hour.

[31:49] Okay.

[31:55] Yeah.

[31:56] That's it.

[31:57] The reason I asked, I got a ticket about 20 some years ago,

[32:00] 30 some years ago in Algona for doing 15 in front of a

[32:06] a play area that had 12ft cyclone fences on it.

[32:10] I thought it was 25,

[32:13] so I thought probably be different, but that's a state law.

[32:18] The judge told me the city can make their zones

[32:20] whatever they want, but it's not city at state out there.

[32:23] Yeah, well, if it's a state highway, that's when I've been working

[32:27] with Chief Cabral on this.

[32:28] If it were talking about the main drag coming in, that is a state

[32:32] that is a state designated highway. So.

[32:39] Thank you.

[32:41] Thank you.

[32:41] Any other questions from council?

[32:46] Okay.

[32:47] See you then. We'll move on to item number.

[32:48] See the Water Resource Recovery Facility update.

[32:52] And the opportunity to speak to each of you today about some

[32:56] of the challenges that we've been facing as we enter into the fall.

[33:00] Some of them are pretty substantial and may require us to to

[33:05] look at extension of our emergency declaration

[33:09] to be able to to work forward through some of the some of the issues.

[33:12] I have Engineer Hungerford here this evening and our director Davis,

[33:17] and to maybe update from their perspective

[33:21] the report that we had earlier today.

[33:24] Engineer Hungerford.

[33:25] I don't know if you want to talk about some of the issues we've discussed,

[33:28] have been regarding.

[33:33] We have the curtain separation in the lagoon.

[33:36] We have a failure in our SBR, one of our SBR basins.

[33:40] And if you wanted to talk to some of.

[33:45] Oh, okay.

[33:46] Okay. Thank you.

[33:49] Can you hear me okay.

[33:51] I don't know what specifically was shared in the report, but

[33:55] specifically some of the recent events that the mayor was just discussing

[33:59] are with relationship to the SBR basin.

[34:03] So one of the decanters,

[34:06] not totally sure what led to the failure, but there's a pipe between

[34:12] the floating decanter and the wall, and that pipe became separated.

[34:16] It's a PVC section of 16 inch pipe that's flanked on both ends,

[34:21] and it looks like the flange on one or both ends failed.

[34:24] And so what happened was that that pipe came,

[34:28] became disconnected, and was temporarily supporting the decanter.

[34:34] And then as these decanters flow, when there was no longer

[34:38] water in their allowed it to, as the water level drained out, it fell.

[34:43] And that pipe is now physically disconnected

[34:45] from the plant engine laying on the bottom of the decanter. So

[34:50] essentially what the decanter is,

[34:52] is a mechanism that allows

[34:55] the clean water to be

[34:58] flow over a year

[34:59] and out through your discharge,

[35:02] through the basin, through your discharge,

[35:05] which is disinfected with the UV disinfection system.

[35:09] I know a lot of you went on plant

[35:10] tours and got opportunity to see the disinfection system in the basement,

[35:14] so that's where that clean water goes after you settle the solids decanter out.

[35:19] So that whole system is provided

[35:23] by was provided by a vendor by the name of aqua Aerobics.

[35:28] They're still in business.

[35:29] And so the recommendation I have to the city is to get Aqua out here

[35:34] to do an assessment of that piece of equipment

[35:38] from where it comes out of the wall, all the way through it

[35:41] to see, obviously, we need to source a new pipe.

[35:45] There's flexible connections where those flanges connect on each end

[35:49] to make sure

[35:49] that those are ready to be reconnected, or if they recommend replacement.

[35:53] And then the condition of the the decanter itself,

[35:57] as I think it may have fallen and there may be some structural damage.

[36:01] I'd like to get a structural engineer down there as well.

[36:04] There's some pipe supports and general supports of the system

[36:07] to make sure that they're ready.

[36:09] Once you get that decanter repair that they're ready

[36:12] to support that structure for.

[36:15] Obviously we've got some winter flows coming.

[36:17] So time is of the essence here

[36:20] with regard to the curtain and the lagoons.

[36:23] The city went through the recent lagoon dredging event

[36:26] and noticed that the curtain that separates the lagoon.

[36:31] So you've got a three cell system.

[36:33] Cells one and two are a little bit smaller.

[36:35] They're an error rated at flows

[36:37] from 1 to 2 and then into three, which is not aerated.

[36:41] And it's anaerobic where your solids store.

[36:44] And that's where we pull them out.

[36:45] During the dredging event, that curtain appears

[36:49] to be compromised, where the anchors are at the bottom of the lagoon.

[36:52] And it's kind of free floating in there right now.

[36:55] So what?

[36:57] There's physical anchor points as well as weights as you can imagine.

[37:02] A, you know, imagine a fabric

[37:05] curtain in a pool has to have weights in it.

[37:08] I believe that those anchor points and those weights have been disconnected

[37:12] and are put in a tremendous amount of strain on that top wire

[37:17] that holds it in place.

[37:18] So I believe there's also a bit of solids bulking up against it,

[37:23] laying against it.

[37:24] So it's not something that you could

[37:26] go move with a backhoe or something like that.

[37:29] As you imagine all of that water pressure and solid sitting against it.

[37:33] So need to understand what is failed there, do an assessment,

[37:38] and the only way you're really going to get to

[37:39] that is literally to get to the bottom of the lagoon

[37:42] and see those anchor points and see what the condition of the points are,

[37:46] the connection points and the cables to and from,

[37:48] as well as those ballast weights that hold it down.

[37:52] So I think it's an opportunity as well.

[37:54] Well, based on three offline to take a look at everything else in there.

[37:59] High weather flows. You're going to need those three basins.

[38:01] So you've got diffusers aeration system things like that.

[38:06] While people are in there, take a comprehensive

[38:08] look at the condition of the basin to make sure it's ready to go.

[38:14] Great.

[38:14] I think Engineer Hungerford, Director Davison,

[38:17] did you have any comments this evening?

[38:32] Yeah, I would just echo a lot of

[38:34] of what Jake was talking about in regards to the lagoon and the curtain.

[38:38] It would also be important

[38:41] once we get to the levels that we can do anything with that curtain.

[38:45] It's important to note that while our team was trying to dislodge, a portion of it

[38:49] had gotten stuck in some of the mechanisms in basin one, it had actually frayed

[38:54] and gotten in there that as they were trying to tighten or pull,

[38:57] it was actually coming apart as they were maneuvering it.

[39:02] So it's really not anything you can look at and,

[39:06] you know, boat out there and take care of as you go.

[39:08] It just kind of deteriorates over time.

[39:10] And that's what it's done.

[39:12] Time is is not been real favorable to that stuff out there.

[39:16] So the other thing to think about is if we do get the opportunity to get

[39:20] that lagoon down, where we can assess that infrastructure underneath,

[39:24] it also has some tea, some tea framing in there.

[39:27] Aside from the anchors that are also drilled into the bottom,

[39:30] there'd be an awesome opportunity to take a look at the lining itself.

[39:34] I know that we've had some discussions with the Department of Ecology

[39:37] about the need to beef that up and make sure

[39:40] it's robust, and two layers now is what's required.

[39:43] So that would be an additional opportunity.

[39:46] We also have have been working through, and I think we had Glenn here

[39:51] talking about the importance of of controls and the system

[39:55] and those things, being able to talk to themselves.

[39:57] And it's really been a challenge for for staff and for parametric, for that matter,

[40:03] to come out and troubleshoot things when perhaps it doesn't tell the story.

[40:07] Like we would like it to a lot.

[40:09] If you can kind of liken it to it's telling you

[40:11] something's wrong or something's not operating or it's coming on properly,

[40:14] but you can't dive into the actual

[40:17] analytics of what's going on without posting somebody up there

[40:20] and watching the process either fail or succeed without people being.

[40:24] And we've had some challenges with that as well.

[40:29] The SBR mixer one was was pulled.

[40:32] I don't know if

[40:33] I got a little bit more of an update and we've sent that out for for repairs.

[40:37] We have we had a ground faulting issue in in SBR one, the mixer one,

[40:41] the blower one is out of service currently and we're procuring a spare.

[40:47] Looking to a neighboring municipality of City of Yelm has been real nice.

[40:51] It's kind of was a sister plant to what we had.

[40:53] They've since changed and upgraded their plant,

[40:56] so they did save a bunch of stuff for us that that were able to kind of

[40:59] look through, and a lot of

[41:00] it was actually refurbished fairly soon before they decommissioned their plant.

[41:04] So it's not all real bad and kind of helps us

[41:07] without having to go to the eBay process that you guys were talking

[41:10] talked about before, just to kind of touch on the aqua aerobics.

[41:15] We did approve them to come out.

[41:18] We've signed that document. We're just waiting for scheduling.

[41:21] I have yet to hear from them, but but our team is ready to go.

[41:24] We're we're currently in the process of getting down into that third

[41:26] basin and pressure wash it out and really get it clean so that we can

[41:31] out of the suggestions and working with the mayor to really go through there

[41:35] while that basin is empty, which we don't want it to be empty.

[41:39] But while it is, let's really look at all the components

[41:42] inside there and so we don't get caught.

[41:45] Maybe missing something if it needs to be replaced.

[41:48] I think it's it's prudent to just

[41:50] get in there and replace that stuff now instead of guesswork later.

[41:54] The solids are starting

[41:57] to show some liquid a little bit, which is good.

[42:00] Obviously nothing near what we need, but it is

[42:06] starting to get a little

[42:07] bit of liquid on top of it.

[42:11] We are working with the Department of Ecology on the mitigation

[42:14] around the edge of the legume. That is done.

[42:17] We're waiting on the sampling

[42:18] analysis plan, working with parametric to submit the Doe for approval,

[42:21] and then comply with the last step, which would be the actual

[42:25] sampling itself.

[42:29] Yeah, we've worked on the PMS on the blowers as well.

[42:32] So our staff is is grinding through it and doing what we can to be proactive

[42:36] and try to really it's

[42:40] it's in need of some repairs and hopefully, you know,

[42:43] we wet weathers come in and fingers crossed with the last thing we want to do

[42:47] is have some other thing go on, go wrong in there.

[42:50] That then kind of negates all the successes we had with

[42:54] what Fire Mountain did for us.

[42:55] So there's still a need to get rid of solids, and still a need

[42:59] to kind of keep our momentum on this thing and hopefully get it,

[43:03] get it back to where we can just have a couple guys maintaining it.

[43:06] Great, great.

[43:08] Thank you, Mr. Davidson.

[43:09] Councilmember Perez yeah.

[43:12] So the flange fell off down to the bottom of the lagoon, is that correct?

[43:16] I don't know that we've determined that fully.

[43:19] I can layman's terms.

[43:21] When I arrived there the the flange if you can envision where this

[43:26] the large 18 inch I believe 16, 16 or 18 inch pipe bolts

[43:30] together with a flange real close to the, to the wall, the concrete wall,

[43:35] it was loose and kind of wedged underneath it.

[43:37] So the whole thing was teetering

[43:40] with all the weight being this way on the bottom of it.

[43:42] And then when it fell, it kind of broke.

[43:44] But we have not been able to really determine,

[43:47] I'm sure Jake has, because that's the smart people are.

[43:50] But there was a flex fitting in there with

[43:54] almost like

[43:55] two little hinges that fit on both sides of it to kind of firm up

[43:59] that flex connection as that as it floats within the levels in there.

[44:04] I don't know if we've determined a cause other than just age and where,

[44:08] but yes, it broke free from the wall sunk underneath.

[44:12] It was kind of floating free in there.

[44:14] Did it affect the flow?

[44:16] Did it affect the flow?

[44:17] It essentially took itself offline.

[44:20] I mean, it it doesn't operate at that point.

[44:22] It drained.

[44:23] We had to drain it, decant it, then it fell off some of the standards

[44:26] that mayor was talking about.

[44:27] They sit up on big supports and the whole unit fell to the floor,

[44:32] which is typically I think that's roughly about 30ft deep.

[44:35] JC oh, wow.

[44:37] So so did I understand that that's something

[44:41] you guys can fix yourselves then.

[44:43] Is that something you can do?

[44:45] No, no, I mean, I don't want to say no.

[44:48] Of course, we probably could figure out a quick fix for just about anything.

[44:52] I think with a with a failure to that degree

[44:56] especially, you know, this is this type of, of repair.

[45:00] We we rely real heavily with our, our engineering partners here.

[45:04] And the determination is to get the best bang for our buck would be to get

[45:09] with aqua aerobics the actual design of and let's, let's fix it correctly.

[45:15] So we'll have to build a new system.

[45:17] It's going to essentially be the same but more robust.

[45:19] Instead of PVC.

[45:20] We're talking about some other pipe materials that may help last, perhaps

[45:26] fortifying those connections if we can, so that those

[45:30] hold a little better and then

[45:31] go through the rest of the components that are currently offline.

[45:34] Thank you.

[45:36] Thank you.

[45:36] Yeah, I think the key to it is, is to find the root

[45:39] cause of the failure of what caused it and then correct it.

[45:42] Right.

[45:42] We're even looking at the process with the aeration.

[45:45] With the move, the air moving through the tank

[45:48] itself is creating a lot of movement on that decanter.

[45:51] Maybe that could be a contributing factor.

[45:53] So I think some of that root cause work is happening right now.

[45:57] Engineer Hungerford I've got a photo up there.

[46:00] Better to explain with a photo if you can see it.

[46:05] But essentially,

[46:06] like Director Davison was explaining, is out of the wall here.

[46:11] So this is in the concrete basin.

[46:12] It's not in the lagoon itself,

[46:14] but out of the wall here is that flexible connection.

[46:18] And then you can see the pipe in the bottom here.

[46:20] This elbow is not associated with the system.

[46:23] So it goes from this flexible connection here.

[46:26] There's the pipe at the bottom of the basin that sits

[46:30] on this pipe support that was damaged to this large round piece of equipment here.

[46:36] That's the floating decanter okay.

[46:38] The top of that opens to allow liquid to flow into it.

[46:41] It goes down through an elbow into this pipe

[46:45] and then out through

[46:49] the wall there

[46:50] you can see on the sides there there's two

[46:52] shackles that essentially act as a hinge, that allow it to move

[46:56] vertically up and down, but prevent horizontal movement.

[46:59] So it only flexes in an up

[47:01] and down position so you don't get your decanter off tilt.

[47:05] But that's that's the after drainage post photo

[47:10] there of the basin itself.

[47:17] Councilmember Reed,

[47:18] is this the first time in this system that this has happened?

[47:21] Yeah.

[47:22] So is there a way we can,

[47:26] once this is upgraded to get the other two cells checked out?

[47:32] I mean, they're probably going to fail soon too, I would guess.

[47:36] Yeah.

[47:37] So part of the process

[47:38] with aqua aerobics coming out is having them make recommendations.

[47:42] Your existing pipe is PVC.

[47:44] They have since upgraded to a stainless steel option of that exact pipe.

[47:50] With the plan on each end.

[47:51] I think stainless steel is extremely expensive, but from a life

[47:55] cycles perspective, how long does the city intend to keep this process operating?

[48:01] PVC is going to last a long time, so if you're going to be replacing this

[48:05] in the next 10 to 15 years, PVC is probably a good option to consider

[48:10] depending on price.

[48:11] But like you said, what's the condition of the other two in the other basin?

[48:15] Should we plan maintenance to take those offline and replace the pipes as well?

[48:20] Can we Corey.

[48:22] Or you, can we get down far enough to look at the other ones without

[48:29] during the whole system, down

[48:30] as far as we're doing with this one, since it's not broken,

[48:35] I don't know the specifics

[48:36] of the dynamics of each individual chamber.

[48:39] All three are are identical. Correct?

[48:42] I don't know if they're sized exactly the same.

[48:45] Are all three the one I think is

[48:49] okay.

[48:50] I think what the hope is, Councilmember Reed, is, is that

[48:54] we can

[48:57] get a handle on the system, on the whole

[49:02] infrastructure that's there, so that we can

[49:06] operate at a level that will allow us to do that kind of thing.

[49:09] Right now, when we lose an entire basin

[49:12] or we have such lagoon issues, and

[49:16] it doesn't give us the luxury of any redundancy, if that makes sense.

[49:20] So I think

[49:23] absolutely it is in my

[49:25] I don't know how far out this is as quick as we can get,

[49:28] but yes, this would be under normal operating procedures.

[49:32] All things being equal, we would schedule these kinds of things

[49:36] while the other two basins are running great.

[49:38] And like the mayor mentioned, we're aerating properly.

[49:42] It's just we've kind of been under the gun

[49:45] as we go to to stay above water, so to speak.

[49:49] And I don't think right now we would we would want to do that.

[49:52] But in the future, absolutely.

[49:53] We want to take advantage of our ability to schedule higher

[49:57] level maintenance, as opposed to just fixing things as they go.

[50:01] Yes. Right.

[50:03] You have any questions?

[50:05] Okay. Yeah. Thank you, Deputy Mayor.

[50:09] So how many

[50:10] basins do we have operating right now? Two.

[50:14] Two. Sold.

[50:16] When I went there, one was being cleaned out.

[50:19] Is that one now up and running?

[50:22] Yeah.

[50:23] So okay so we're running on two and we've got one down. Yes.

[50:27] But as I mentioned in the list I have there are various components.

[50:32] Blower one is on the Fritz but it's still able to work.

[50:35] But basin three is completely offline.

[50:38] So it's it's mix and match.

[50:40] But for all intents and purposes we are processing wastewater

[50:44] into two basins right now as best we can.

[50:48] Okay. Thank you,

[50:51] thank you.

[50:52] Okay, great.

[50:54] Thank you, Mr. Davidson.

[50:56] Seeing other questions.

[51:00] Okay.

[51:01] Looks like we have roundtable discussion.

[51:03] Any items that council would like to bring up to discuss before a meeting?

[51:07] Or would you have is your desire to take a five minute break and return at 6 p.m.

[51:11] for the business meeting?

[51:16] Okay.

[51:17] Well, we'll we'll recess until 6 p.m.

[51:21] and start the business meeting at the time.

[51:36] Meeting of September 9th.

[51:37] Back into

[51:39] this portion of the meeting.

[51:42] Excuse me. Here.

[51:43] This portion of the meeting will allow council to make motions on agenda items.

[51:47] Council discussion may follow.

[51:49] Once a motion is entertained, audience members will have the opportunity

[51:52] to make comments on items that are not on the agenda, or may request

[51:57] to provide comment on an agenda item prior to the vote of a motion

[52:02] Council.

[52:02] Do we have any requests for additions or modifications to the agenda

[52:05] is prepared?

[52:10] Seeing none,

[52:11] we'll move on to this portion of the the meeting for public comments.

[52:15] This is an opportunity for the public to make comments to the Council

[52:18] about any matter or city business that is not on the agenda.

[52:29] Madam

[52:29] clerk, do we have anyone who would wish to speak this evening?

[52:32] We did have one person sign up.

[52:36] Okay.

[52:37] First on our list this evening is Mr.

[52:39] Mason G.

[52:40] Hooper.

[52:44] Okay, I'll read in the public comment rules for you.

[52:47] Prior to your start, please begin by providing us with your name

[52:51] and general location of residents inside or outside the city of.

[52:56] If you ask a question of a council,

[52:59] the council's rules do not allow for back and forth dialog.

[53:04] If action is requested, the chair will refer the matter

[53:07] to the appropriate administrative staff member or to committee.

[53:11] If you'd like to be contacted, please check.

[53:14] Yes, and I see you.

[53:16] You've checked that already, sir.

[53:19] For on the information contact sign up sheet.

[53:23] You'll have three minutes to speak.

[53:26] At the end of your time, you'll hear an alarm.

[53:28] Please use that alarm

[53:29] as a notification to finish your thoughts and a sentence or two at most.

[53:33] The chair will stop if the comment extends beyond this time.

[53:37] Mr. Hooper, you're good to go. Thank you.

[53:40] My name is Mason G. Hooper.

[53:42] I live in Village Green within city limits,

[53:45] right back, sort of near where the drainage basin is.

[53:48] I wanted to actually start with something I didn't include on the form,

[53:52] and thank the mayor for requesting an extension of,

[53:55] or the permanency of the crosswalk at the school zone.

[53:58] I also wanted to ask that the council consider adding additional signage

[54:03] within Village Green, as it can be very unclear where

[54:07] in that sort of turnoff the school zone begins.

[54:10] Is it within Village Green right there where the students still go,

[54:13] or is it specifically once you're on the road?

[54:16] Outside of that, I've been seeing a lot of and I'm sure I've spoken

[54:19] with some of the people here online discourse regarding the flock cameras.

[54:24] And I wanted to say that irrespective of the legality of these cameras,

[54:28] irrespective of how they're used, I fear that the growing prevalence

[54:33] of these types of mass surveillance

[54:35] technologies will have a chilling effect on First Amendment protected activities.

[54:39] And I don't just mean free speech, but other aspects

[54:42] of the First Amendment, like free association or free travel.

[54:46] The idea that just because I can see you from the public street, that the Founding

[54:51] Fathers contemplated mass surveillance, as we have it now, over all streets.

[54:56] I don't really think that that tracks, and I think that people

[54:59] will exercise their rights less often because of that.

[55:03] I know that it's worth sacrificing some of our rights

[55:06] and freedoms in order to have protections.

[55:08] But I have to question, is this sacrifice worth it?

[55:12] Is the continual degradation of our Fourth Amendment

[55:17] privacy really adequate?

[55:21] Thank you.

[55:21] I yield my time.

[55:24] Sorry. It's the first time I've done this.

[55:25] Thank you, I appreciate it.

[55:28] The flock the flock issues will be on the next meeting of the Committee of Whole.

[55:32] Just for your information. Thank you.

[55:38] Madam clerk, do we

[55:39] have anyone online who would wish to comment this evening?

[55:42] No, ma'am. Okay, great.

[55:44] See you then.
