The City of Columbia City In Columbia County on the Columbia River WATER AND SEWER COMMITTEE MINUTES MARCH 6, 2024 MEETING City Hall, 1840 Second Street, Columbia City 6:00 p.m. Attendees: Gordon Thistle, Chair Jon Burdett, Committee Member Kim Karber, City Administrator/Recorder Micah Rogers, Public Works Superintendent Meeting called to order at 6:00 p.m. Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan: After review of the current list of items on the Five-Year Plan for Water Projects, the list has been updated as follows:  Upper Reservoir Overflow Drain Project for budget year 2024-2025.  Upgrade SCADA monitoring system for budget year 2024-2025. These are the only two items on the list since the water fund needs to recover from the recent large project that exploded in price. The reservoir overflow project was supposed to be done with the upgrade project but had to be dropped due to monetary constraints. It is still a high priority and Micah is currently collaborating with the engineers on options that are more financially feasible. The monitoring system is over 20 years old and there is concern that if the computer tower goes down, we will not be able to find a replacement that will run the software. After review of the current list of items on the Five-Year Plan for Sewer Projects, the list has been updated as follows:  K Street pump station for budget year 2024-2025  Steel tank replacement of the 17 remaining steel tanks to be spread over the next two years.  E Street Sewer Main Replacement (west side of Highway 30 to 2 nd Street) for budget year 2028-2029.
