<br />Councilmember Riley asked if the plan would change if there is a new water treatment facility. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby replied that it would not make that much of a difference because it is based <br />on the entire water system, such as the piping and hydrants. <br /> <br />Councilmember Menth stated that he wants to know what is expected by this study. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby replied that the plan could be robust or bare bones. He commented that the <br />Midwest is pretty insulated from some emergency events that would impact the water supply <br />system and therefore this would not need to be a robust plan. <br /> <br />Councilmember Menth asked if staff should be directed to reach out to neighboring communities <br />to determine if there is an opportunity to share work. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby confirmed that staff could do that and delay this action by one month until <br />the next meeting. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if part of the work could be completed in-house and the <br />remainder done by a consultant in order to share the workload. She commented that she noticed <br />some links and example information that staff could use to develop the plan. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby confirmed that links and other information are available online. He <br />reviewed the benefits that would be realized by using a consultant such as familiarity with the <br />required plans and approval processes, and knowledge of what other cities plans include. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley asked the estimated ballpark cost for this type of work. <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby provided information on an unofficial cost estimate that he received. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Riley, seconded by Councilmember Menth, to direct staff to contact <br />other cities in attempt to work together to reduce costs to prepare the required plans, and to obtain <br />an indication of services that could be provided by the Consultant preparing the water treatment <br />feasibility study related to completing the required plans. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Kuzma, Councilmembers Riley and Menth. Voting <br />No: None. <br /> <br />6. COMMITTEE / STAFF INPUT <br /> <br />6.01: Staff Updates on Improvement Projects and Items of Interest <br /> <br />City Engineer Westby provided an update on current and proposed City, County and MnDOT <br />improvement projects and studies and on other items of interest. <br /> <br />Public Works Committee / October 20, 2020 <br />Page 3 of 4 <br /> <br />
