He stated that his last item isregarding the GIS Asset Management and modeling upgradesand professional services. He said that it would be an amendment to the services that they are providing related to mini capacity assurance plan projects related to the 2010 SRF bond issue. He said it is basically an agreement that’s been distributed to everyone that would provide for development and implementation of the GIS Asset Management System to track and organize data associated with the sewer system. He added that it also includes some modeling system updates and also someflow monitoring assistance in evaluating additional locations in the system to monitor flows and the effectiveness of the rehabilitation program. He said that all of this is basically being tied into the SRF bond issue by virtue of the engineering report that was done for the system line rehabilitation program. He stated that they have already had correspondence with SRF and they are in agreement that this will fall under that project so we need to submit a letter of amendment that this work will fall under that project and be able to utilize the remaining funds.
Mr. Wilkinson asked if the amendment will finalize the last portion.
Mr. Christmas said that there were some remaining funds on the loan and now that the construction is completed for the projects that were originally defined in the PERs and in order to utilize that money, we would have to submit the amendment to the lining rehabilitation PER and use that money to establish the GIS Asset Management tool along with some model upgrades and flow monitoring assistance.
Mr. Wilkinson asked if the draft information was basically tentatively approved pending all of the proper paperwork and a letter request from you.
Mr. Christmas replied yes and stated that the first item associated with this amendment would be sending that letter to SRF.
Mr. Wilkinson moved to accept the proposal and get the letter out as soon as possible contingent upon Mr. Gibson’s review and approval, Mr. Brinkworth second, all voted in favor with the exception of Mayor Gahan who was not present.
