Councilmember Riley commented that he does not believe that a water treatment facility is <br />needed or will be needed in the next ten years and should be removed from the list. <br />City Administrator Ulrich provided background information on the restrictions that were placed <br />on Ramsey ten years ago by the DNR and the surface water study which was completed as a <br />result. He stated that the City flushes twice per year because of the sediment in the water. He <br />stated that the decision was made in the past that the City would not construct a water treatment <br />facility alone, as it would need to be a regional facility. He stated that there is an agenda item <br />tonight at the regular meeting which will ask the Council to discuss a regional water treatment <br />study. <br />Councilmember Riley noted that the item on the CIP is for treating the well water, which has <br />never been done. <br />Acting Mayor LeTourneau confirmed the consensus of the Council to leave the item on the CIP <br />at this time to allow additional discussion. <br />2.02: Discussion Regarding Union Contract Negotiations for AFSCME, LELS-Patrol, <br />LELS-Sergeants, and LELS-Captains (Discussion closed to the public) <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher recommended that the Council move to closed sessions <br />to continue discussions on the ongoing contract negotiations. <br />Motion by Councilmember Riley, seconded by Councilmember Shryock, to recess the meeting to <br />Closed Session at 6:40 p.m. <br />Motion carried.
