QUESTIONS/COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC
None
DISCUSS PROPOSED CINCO PLANT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AND AUTHORIZE VOTE BY DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE TO CINCO OPERATING COMMITTEE, IN FAVOR OF OR AGAINST PROCEEDING WITH THE PROJECT
Jennifer Elms presented recommendations for the Cinco Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) improvements. Current operation consists of a coarse bubble aeration system with 2 blowers in continuous operation. The electricity costs per year are $126,354.00. Proposed operations are a fine bubble aeration system with 1 blower on throttled condition with electricity costs of $44,801.00 per year; or retrofit with a fine bubble aeration system at a cost of $300,000.00 with an $81,000.00 per year saving in electricity costs for a 3 to 4 year payback. During the changeover they would bring in temporary tankage and clean out sediment. They will coordinate with the plant operator to keep the WWTP running during installation of the new aeration system. Phase one consists of new aeration system and cleaning of the tanks. Phase two consists of changing out the chlorine system. The next Cinco Operating Committee meeting is next Thursday.
After discussion, motion was made to authorize The Cinco Operating Committee to approve the first phase of improvements to the plant.
AUTHORIZE ANY NECESSARY ACTIONS WITH RESPECT TO GREENBELT TRACTS OR OTHER DISTRICT LAND
John Irwin informed the board that the graffiti was cleaned off the greenbelt wall and it looks good. No new markings have appeared. Reported there is a possible gopher problem in the greenbelt. John will have Brian with Junction Landscape check it out.
