Council Minutes of 3-6-2018 The Environmental Control Committee met on Tuesday, February 27, 2018 at 7:50 p.m. Present were committee members Hemann, Glassburn and Williamson; Council members Brossard, Kearney and Limpert; Council President Jones; Mayor Kennedy, Director of Safety & Service Glauner and guests. • Discussed first was Resolution 2018-23. A Resolution authorizing the Director of Public Service to advertise for bids for the award of demolition and construction contracts at the Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) to provide for a new metal pre -fabricated building, located east of Building No. 10, including new steel roofing for said building and to unify with adjoining structures, as detailed in the specifications on file with the Engineer, and authorizing the Mayor, following approval of the Board of Control, to contract for the same with the lowest and best bidder. Service Director Glauner explained the building was originally part of a construction project done a few years ago, but the cost for this building came in higher than anticipated and was removed from the earlier project. The current project was discussed and approved at the 2018 budget hearings; the funds have been approved and now Council needs to approve this legislation to move forward. Currently, there is nothing being housed in the building. The new building will be for storage of piping and plumbing supplies used to sustain the WWTP. Councilwoman Hemann moved to recommend to Council. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Williamson and passed 3-0. • Discussed next was Resolution 2018-24. A Resolution authorizing the Director of Public Service to advertise for bids for the transportation and disposal of bio - solids from the wastewater treatment plant and, following the approval by the Board of Control, authorizing the Mayor to enter into an agreement with the lowest and best bidder. Director Glauner discussed the issue of bio -solids and how the City must dispose of them by transporting to an Ohio EPA approved site. The bio -solids can be picked up or taken to the site. The City chooses to deliver the bio -solids as a cost saving measure. The current three year contract with Quasar, an EPA approved site, expires March 2019. The City is seeking to have a five year contract. The City's production of bio -solids has decreased with the improvements made the WWTP and the longer contract should produce a better overall savings. Councilwoman Hemann moved to recommend to Council. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Williamson and passed 3-0.
