County and
·
Tonnage for the 3rd
week of June was 149.15 tons and for the 3rd week of July 146.82.
The average is 147.985 or 148 tons per week.
·
148 tons/wk x
4.33 wks/month= 640.84 or 641 tons/month. 641 tons x $22.00/ton=$14,102/month.
$14,102/6,540 auto cans= an increase of approximately $2.15 per can per month
for Price City Customers.
The
amounts will be finalized in the next few weeks and will include size of
storage containers etc. The increase will also affect businesses with larger
containers and those companies that demolish buildings or homes. The more debris,
the higher the cost will be for the customer as they will now have to take
their waste directly to ECDC to be weighed. The increase is set to take place
on October 1, 2007. The Mayor and City Council thanked Mr. Williams for the update.

18. EXPENDITURE
AND RELEASE REPORT FOR APPROVED CAPITAL PROJECTS, SERVICE PROJECTS AND
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS-Authorization for Partial Payment of $12,241.60 for the
Purchase and Installation of the Backup Electrical Generator at the Water
Treatment Plant to Ballard Electric. Partial Payment #3 in
the Amount of $33,575.00 for Castle Ridge Subdivision Perkins Development
Agreement.
Castle
Ridge Subdivision-A 10% retainage will be held for
one year plus $1,500 for a street light. All work finished to date is
satisfactory meeting the City’s minimum standards. It needs to be noted that
the existing street is suffering from settlement that appears to be coming from
the sewer line trench. The water and sewer mains were already in place prior to
their work. While work was done to install the sewer laterals, water was found traveling
along the sewer pipeline alignment. The City water & sewer department crews
checked on this and reported that it was not coming from the sewer main; but
appeared to be ground water. The water may be saturating the sewer trench and
slowly causing it to settle. The road’s travel surface is not entirely smooth.
Future street maintenance will have to address this. City crews will continue
to monitor this.
