MOVED BY STOKNES, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT COUNCIL ACCEPT THE SEWER BUDGET AS PROPOSED. MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Sneva noted the changes that have been made since the distribution of the proposed budget. He explained that there are no funds proposed for further investigation of a future source of water. The study showed that no sites in the City warranted putting down a test well so the project has been deleted until a later date. Mr. Sneva explained there are four new items added to Preliminary Engineering: (1) Sewer on So. 150th from Macadam Road to 57th; (2) CBD Trunk Sewer Replacements; (3) Force Main and Gravity Sewer; (4) Sewer extension from So. 180th to Southcenter Pkwy. The bulk of the work on Lift Station 2 should be done in January. Lift Station 3 is proposed to be replaced by a gra- vity line. 57th Ave. So. will be reconstructed from So. 149th to the new reservoir.

This is a very important step. Then, a set of public hearings will be held so everyone that is involved will be included in the discussion. The Committee expressed the desire to leave the funds in the budget, but not spend it until after the study is done. Council Member Morgan said it has been estimated that the cost of a Financial Feasibility Study would be around $30,000.
