He believed that it would be more appropriate to change the timing on the next review of <br /> the CIP. <br /> Councilmember Riley stated that if he were a resident with concerns about water, he would not <br /> be happy to see that item appear in 2027. He agreed that the study information is needed to <br /> determine the needs. <br /> Mayor LeTourneau stated that the water is safe. He believed it would be appropriate to change <br /> the timing after the results of the study are known. <br /> Councilmember Riley stated that he would be more comfortable moving the item to 2022 and <br /> then the timing can be changed again once the study results are known. <br /> City Administrator Ulrich confirmed the consensus of the Council to change the timing of the <br /> water treatment plant to 2022, with additional discussion to follow after the completion of the <br /> study. <br /> Councilmember Heinrich referenced the $70,000 allocation for Ford Brook park.

He noted that the project scope <br /> could be adjusted once the process for the request for proposals is completed. He explained that <br /> the CIP is a planning document and advised that the RFP could come back to the Council for <br /> authorization as early as January. <br /> City Council Work Session/November 12,2019 <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br />
