Council Minutes of Z/6/Ol ~ Bill Kelly, 4161 Canterbury Road, asked Mr. McKay to explain Ordinance 2001-06 which authorizes the purchase of the dewatering centrifuge system for the Wastewater Treatment Plant. Mr. McKay explained that earlier this year the city leased the equipment from the owner to see if it was going to meet expectations. First, would it keep us within the EPA limits for the water that we put back into the river since our requirements are more stringent than those going to a larger body of water, such as Cleveland which dumps into the lake. Every time we do not meet their requirements, we are fined. The second requirement was the elimination of the odor, and that was successful. Therefore, the city did decide to purchase the unit. The unit temporarily is housed in a trailer and the waste is discharged into another receiving trailer outside. The plan is to put this inside of the building that already exists. However, there are some modifications that need to be done inside of that building. Due to the weather, those renovations have not been completed and we are leasing the trailer for another two months. The majority of the work will be done by city personnel. Jan Popa, 6165 Sherwood Drive, asked what criteria was used to determine the qualifications, skills and abilities of the individual chosen for the Ward II Council seat.
