Resolution awarding contract for industrial park water tower painting Motion by Jeff Newcomer to approve the resolution awarding the contract for the industrial park water tower painting to the low bidder L&T Painting, Inc., seconded by Rob Schilt. Upon roll call vote, motion carried. 3. Discussion regarding options for hospital water tower Jeff Newcomer explained that the Utilities Supervisor Mike Kennison brought the item to the Board of Public Works looking for direction on how to proceed. The Board referred it to the full council for discussion and a recommendation. Utilities Supervisor Mike Kennison explained the three options for the tower: 1. Paint and bring the current tower up to code 2. Use the current tower and enter into a maintenance agreement 3. Build a new tower at an alternative site Kennison explained that the current tower was built in the 40's or 50's, the steel is thick and well built, and if painted and brought to code, would last another 25-30 years. An altitude valve would need to be installed to bring back to one zone to allow the tower to float with the tower in the industrial park. The cost for the altitude valve is not included in the estimated cost, but is minimal compared to the overall project cost. A new tower is the most expensive option and would last 50-60 years, and would still need to be repainted after 25 years. Any option would need a safe water drinking loan, and all three options would create a rate increase to citizens. Questions and answers took place. Kennison recommends painting the current tower, bringing up to code, and installation of the altitude valve. Motion by Ron Marsh to proceed with option one at a cost of $974,750, seconded by Donna Douglas. Upon roll call vote, motion carried. G. PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE 1.

Budget Oversight Discussion Mayor Armstrong explained he is working with Administrator Rath on salaries and wage increase guidelines and plans to present those in March. Administrator Rath explained that in past years, the auditors would make year end adjustments to be incorporated into the budget and financial documentation. The auditors did not believe that budget amendments needed to be made at that time. The budgeting intent last year was to adopt the budget at a summary level. Rath went through the budget department by department, addressing why departments were over or under budget. Overall, the city came in $206,000 under budget. Discussion took place about the budgeting issues. Rath explained that the budget issue is a several year issue, as growth is not happening at a level to keep up with wage increases. Mayor Armstrong said that this is a kick off to the budget season, and that the takeaways from this discussion should be used when working on the 2020 budget. I.
