City Engineer Westby replied that this is the first time the City staff has been asked to produce <br /> these documents. He stated that staff did not spend a lot of time going through items that did not <br /> appear to be currently applicable or important, recognizing that this is a five-year plan that will <br /> need to be amended over time. He noted that staff did not have a lot of time to spend on this with <br /> their heavy workload. He commented that this work took some time away from other things that <br /> needed to be done. He recognized that this has generally been a trying year with the challenges of <br /> COVID and staffing changes. <br /> Civil Engineer IV Linton replied that he tends to be very critical of consultant work, double <br /> checking the work. He stated that when he completes the work, he is more comfortable with the <br /> product. He believed that there would have been additional meetings required with a consultant <br /> and noted that he instead spent that time working on the document. He stated that it was a good <br /> challenge. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Musgrove, seconded by Councilmember Woestehoff, to recommend <br /> that the City Council adopt Resolution 421-330 Accepting the Emergency Response Plan for the <br /> Water Supply with the changes as discussed and Authorizing Submittal of the Plan to the <br /> Environmental Protection Agency. <br /> Motion carried.
