Motion carried. 5 yeas.
Citizen Comment: None
OLD BUSINESS: Resolution # 2007-20, “Agreement for Operations,
Maintenance and Management Services - Water Treatment Plant - Wade-Trim,”
was presented to Council. The Resolution would approve a 3 year contract
with Wade-Trim to provide management services for the City’s Water
Treatment Plant. Youatt explained this proposed agreement is a result
of not receiving any applications for the Water Plant Superintendent position
with the DEQ required F-2 license. With Superintendent Aaron Miller’s
retirement, the City needs to meet the above DEQ requirement. It was also
noted the City would realize a savings of over $ 9,000 with the Wade-Trim
agreement.
It was moved by Wood, seconded by Burkhard to adopt Resolution # 2007-20
as presented. Discussion followed regarding the situation of Water Plant
Operator Lloyd Kramer. Youatt stated anticipation of a vacancy soon in
an AFSCME Union position, which Lloyd could fill, insuring compliance
with the AFSCME contract which allows the City to sub-contract work, so
long as no employees were laid off.
Following further discussion, it was moved by Wood, seconded by Kleinknecht
to adopt Resolution # 2007-20, contingent upon an AFSCME Union position
being available for Water Operator Kramer to fill, prior to executing
the agreement with Wade-Trim.
The question on the original motion to adopt Resolution # 2007-20, as
presented. Motion failed. 5 nays.
The question on the second motion to adopt Resolution # 2007-20, as amended,
with the contingency for an AFSCME Union position being available for
Water Operator Kramer to fill, prior to executing the agreement with Wade-Trim.
Motion carried. 4 yeas. 1 nay (Goniewicha).
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 5:45 p.m.
Tom Youatt, City Clerk
