Council Meeting date: ____________
ITEM:_Wastewater Utility Staffing Update_
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER:
With the retirement of John Nehmer, and the subsequent resignation of an experienced
Operator, the staffing of the treatment facility needs to be addressed on an interim basis
while the recruitment for the two vacant positions is underway. The DNR engineer recently
notified the City that even with temporary staffing and emergency certification efforts
currently underway, the City must still have an experienced “Operator In Charge” to
oversee the operation of the plant. This oversight can be conducted over the course of one
or more days, depending on the experience of existing staff and how well they know the
required tasks. Interim solutions may include contracting with a private company,
temporarily hiring a certified individual with the required certifications, or by partnering with
another municipality to share staff on a short-term basis. Staff have had discussions with
private companies, as well as local municipalities, but we do not have a defined solution at
this moment.
Fortunately, John Nehmer was scheduled to remain on payroll for the next several weeks
leading up to his planned retirement. John has agreed to work some limited part-time
hours for a few weeks as the OIC while we develop a solid solution. I anticipate we will
need to have a solution in place in early-mid March. Based on the need to meet DNR
standards and the quick turnaround needed, staff would like to bring a proposed solution to
the Regular Council meeting on March 2, 2021.

ITEM: Review and Discuss Plan Commission Recommendation regarding the
Certified Survey Map application for the Columbus Elementary School at 200
Fuller Street______
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The Columbus School District has submitted a certified survey map (CSM) application
for the Elementary School project at 200 Fuller Street. The CSM will combine multiple
parcels into one parcel. The completion of the CSM will allow the school district to
meet our zoning code for the proposed Elementary School Addition. Previously council
vacated the right of way that went dissected the elementary school parcel in order to
allow the school district to complete the CSM.
A couple of key items to note for the CSM.
• The CSM shows both storm sewer easements that cross the property.
o One of the easements is for a storm sewer that is relocated as part of the
project. Prior to the project and easement was not recorded.
• With the ROW vacation complete, the school district has provided evidence that
they own all property shown on the proposed CSM.
• The CSM shows the boundary for the FEMA Floodplain; please note the
applicant has received a Conditional Location of Map Amendment (LOMA) from
FEMA. When the project is complete, they will shoot the grades of the
completed structure to finalize the LOMA.
• The CSM shows the boundary for shoreland zoning, the property is within 300
feet of the Second Ward Creek Tributary. That is shown for informational
purposes and shoreland zoning will not affect the proposed project.
Staff has reviewed the CSM and is recommending approval.
