Zande and Associates were also present.

Bates recognized Pennington and Silcott, who were present to explain their proposal for upgrading the sewer plant sludge control problem. After Zande presented their findings and discussion was held regarding the options available, the Board decided to pursue the Aerobic Digester in combination with a sludge compression with Ultra Violet system which will cost approximately $283,000. 

             Minutes from the May 17, 2006 Board of Public Affairs Regular Meeting were read and approved.

            

             Old Business: Brooker reported on the situation regarding the tap for Sue Hart in the Dietz Shopping Center. A 1 ¼ in line is the only line available in the rear of the building which he does not feel is adequate for service to the requested properties. An easement would also be necessary if the tap was done at this location. A six inch line; however, is available in the front of the building (SR 60 side of the building). Ullman moved to tap the six inch line if the tap is to be done, Clark seconded the motion and all answered yes to roll call (3-0), motion passed.

Brooker also stated he had checked on high speed internet service through the cable network. Kitts was to pursue this option in order to expedite installation of this service.
