Council Minutes of 12/16/2003 he shall search for the best price for the cell phones and will not need this legislation as the cost will be below $25,000. The committee recommended this resolution be tabled as the contract will be less than the $25,000 and not need to be bid. • Resolution 2003-174, a resolution authorizing the Mayor of the City of North Olmsted to enter into athree-year agreement with SBC providing for the city to participate in SBC's Valuelink program and receive volume discounts for phone use. The city entered into aseven-year renewal agreement with SBC to provide for Centrex service. The legislation is needed as new technology could have an effect on the number of phone lines and phone calls made. The committee recommended approval. Councilman Limpert, chairperson of the Environmental Control Committee: 1) The committee met on December 9. Present were committee members Dailey, Kasler and Limpert; Council members McKay, Nashar, Gareau; Law Director Dubelko, Service Director Driscoll, City Engineer Durbin. Agenda items were as follows: • Ordinance 2003-176, which authorizes a contract with Floyd Browne to give assistance at the Wastewater Treatment Plant for the new NPDES permit. (A federal EPA permit.) The cost should be between $10,000 and $25,000. We no longer employ an environmental engineer/environmental specialist at the plant, and this type of work could be done by such a person. However, it is the desire of Council not to have that position. It is the feeling of the WWTP employees that we should have some professional help when it comes to negotiating with the EPA. There was some discussion as far as the concern about dispensing with the RFP process, although .the cost is between $10,000 and $25,000. Another source was contacted by WWTP employees, but there was no interest in taking on this work. Because of time constraints, the committee agreed to recommend passage under suspension of the rule. • Resolution 2003-177, authorizes a fourth interim agreement with the City of North Royalton for stabilization and disposal of biosolids. It was the decision of the committee to hold the legislation until the cost of the agreement can be determined. Councilman Limpert, chairperson of the Streets & Drainage Committee: 1) The committee met on December 9. Present were committee members Limpert, Miller and Nashar; Council members Kasler, McKay, Nashar and Gareau; Law Director Dubelko, Service Director Driscoll, City Engineer Durbin. Agenda items were as follows: • Resolution 2003-168, which authorizes going out for bids for 5,000 tons of asphalt and tack coating for various purposes in 2004. The committee unanimously approved. • Resolution 2003-170, a resolution to contract for lowest and best source for partial depth patching. The Service Director has requested this be tabled because the city has not done this form of street repair in a number of years, technologies have changed, and there are better ways of taking care of those sort of situations. The committee unanimously approved tabling of the resolution. 5 ~.~.. _ I ',
