Cordially, Kent Soelberg Sales Representative QUOTATION NET PRICE: $24,944.00 EACH WEIGHT: 1,300 LBS EACH Utilities Committee October 7, 2003 Present: Pam Linder, Chair; Joan Hernandez, Dave Fenton Jim Morrow, Brian Shelton, Pat Brodin, Jill Mosqueda, Mike Cusick, Frank Iriarte, Ryan Larson, Gail Labanara, Lucy Lauterbach 1. Public Works Operations Pat Brodin gave an excellent power point presentation on the Water, Sewer, and Surface Water funds. In the Water department section he talked about the efficiency of using automatic meter readers that can be read by someone driving by who doesn't have to get out of his/her car. The City is converting meters a small amount at a time so there's not a huge capital outlay all at once. Seattle tests water for coliform every two weeks at four different sites in Tukwila. Water is also tested for 177 different compounds. The committee members asked how full the reservoir on the North Hill is kept, and Pat said it is usually 50 90% full except when it's being inspected. In the Sewer department, there are only 2 workers in the Sewer department, so when big problems come up people are pulled from other departments. The City has 11 pump stations, 36 miles of sewer lines, and 730 manholes. They use the jet vacuum truck to clean out lines and lift stations. The committee saw pictures of two feet high cakes of grease in a lift station. Pat said getting restaurants to put in grease separators is important, and the City may need to be more strict in requiring effective systems for every restaurant and food prep business. As more restaurants are being built, their grease puts more strain on the sewer system. Surface Water Maintenance has been working for years to improve deficiencies and it is paying off in ways many people may not notice, though there's less flooding and it floods in fewer areas now than it did 10 years ago. Staff has to clean catch basins and manholes, and they remove a lot of dirt from the lines Last year there were 17 truckloads of dirt sucked out of the surface water lines. There is a video TV system that works unless there's a large obstruction, and the video TV is done of 16,290 feet of pipes. The City has 1,100 catch basins to clean out, too. Finally Pat talked about the fiber optic network that has been slowly added throughout the City. As various companies have come through the City, they have almost all dedicated a line or two to the City, so we have a good number of conduits to string cable through. Jim said Public Works will have its third year of budget cuts with the 2004 budget, and he said it cannot withstand such cuts much longer. The street department budget is down 40% in constant dollars. Information. 2. Pumps Purchase Lift station 12 is near the post office and Key Bank, and handles all of Southcenter's sewage. It is being improved in three stages. First there was a bypass line put in, and now new pumps will be bought and installed, and then putting them, a generator, and electric wiring in will follow. The pumps are in the budget. Recommend bid purchase to Regular Council for approval.
