PUBLIC HEARINGS/ORDINANCES/RESOLUTIONS
Public Hearing: 2010 Budget Amendments and Water Use Efficiency Plan
Mayor DeVaney opened the public hearing for amending the 2010 budget and adopting a Water Use Efficiency Plan at 7:42 p.m.
Clerk-Treasurer Marsha Peterson explained that the garbage and water-sewer funds in 2010 experienced increased expenditures due to projects funded by grants. Line items in the current expense and park-pool funds for 2010 were adjusted within each fund to maintain those spending limits as originally adopted by Council. These line adjustments were to balance the present budget only.
Utility Superintendent, Marty Ramin, relayed to Council that the Department of Health Drinking Water Division, requires that the Town hold a public hearing each year to establish and adopt a Water Use Efficiency Plan to reduce water usage as part of permitting standards. Other requirements include monitoring and reporting to DOH water pumped versus usage to determine any loss due to leakage. Department of Health Drinking Water allows a 10% margin for loss. The Town’s water system operates well within that margin.
Ramin recommended setting a goal which would reduce water usage by 5 gallons per day per person over the next six years and educating the public about methods to conserve water via the Town newsletter and future public forums.
Mayor DeVaney closed the public hearing at 7:55 p.m.
Ordinance 2010-720
• Councilmember Snyder moved to adopt Ordinance 2010-720 which amends and increases the 2010 budget from $3,208,736.00 to $3,318,736.00, with a second from Koenig. Roll Call: Huber – Aye. Hawks – Aye. Olin – Aye. Snyder – Aye. Koenig – Aye. Unanimous approval.

• Council moved to approve Marty Ramin’s recommendation to set a goal for reducing water usage over the next six years by five gallons per person per day on a motion by Huber and a second by Koenig. Unanimous vote.
WASTEWATER PROJECT – ERLANDSEN & ANDERSON PERRY
Work Order I: Engineering Report
Alan Schroeder, Project Engineer from Anderson Perry & Associates, Inc., introduced himself to Council and briefed them on the process of developing an engineering report for the new wastewater project. Schroeder informed Council that an engineering report could take six months to a year to complete, and is a component required by Department of Ecology to obtain approval for grant/loan funding. At that time, the Council could then consider the appropriate option of either a wastewater treatment plant or improving the present lagoon system.
Eric Smith, Project Engineer from Erlandsen, is collaborating with Schroeder on the project. Smith stated that he will be proactive and keeping Waterville residents informed via the Town newsletter as the engineering report develops.Cost for the engineering report is estimated at $55,000.00
Mayor DeVaney advised Council that sewer rate increases will be necessary to drive grant funding.

WATER PROJECT UPDATE
Jesse Cowger, P. E. – Varela & Associates, Inc. – Mapping Water System
Jesse Cowger, Project Engineer from Varela & Associates, Inc., presented two options for mapping the Town’s water system, with costs directly correlated to the level of detail of the maps. Cowger explained that due to construction and engineering costs coming in under budget for the water project, $41,954.22 of USDA grant funds are remaining.
Rose Running, USDA Community Specialist, and Dave Dunnell, USDA State Engineer, have approved mapping the Town’s water system as an eligible cost for grant funding.
Utility Superintendent Marty Ramin recommended Council opt for the more detailed mapping package to insure that future utility crew employees would be able to readily locate any component of the Town’s water infrastructure.
Cowger estimated that the more detailed option would cost the Town no more than $14,978.00.
• Snyder moved to approve mapping the Town water system with level of detail as recommended by Ramin for no more than $14,978.00, and for Varela to include an electronic copy of the system via CD’s, with a second from Olin. Unanimous vote.

PUBLIC HEARINGS/ORDINANCES/RESOLUTIONS
Public Hearing: Monday, May 17, 2010, Town Hall, 104 East Locust Street, 7:30 P.M. – Mosquito Control
Mayor DeVaney opened the public hearing at 7:32 p.m.
Comments ranged from opposing the use of Malathion™ for mosquito control, to advocating aerial spraying to minimize West Nile virus concerns. An EPA report was presented stating that “Malathion can be used for public health mosquito control programs without posing unreasonable risks to the general population when applied according to the label.” Other suggestions included wearing insect repellant, using fans, wearing protective clothing, eliminating any standing water that might be a potential breeding ground for mosquitoes, and educating the public about mosquito control. A request was made for spraying earlier in the season rather than waiting until the end of July or first part of August. Many commented that the mosquito infestation in past years made outdoor activities during the summer most uncomfortable. Public comment was strongly weighted in favor of both larvacide, and the use of aerial spraying, if necessary.
Mayor DeVaney closed the public hearing at 7:59 p.m.
- Councilmember Koenig moved to continue the use of larvacide by the Town, and to spray for mosquitoes if necessary. Snyder seconded.
Approved by majority vote, with Bareither and Olin voting against.
