Infiltration / Inflow (I/I) 5.1 Was infiltration/inflow (I/I) significant in your community last year? Yes No If Yes, please describe: Inflow and infiltration can be significant during heavy rain events, snowmelt when saturated soil conditions exist. Compliance Maintenance Annual Report Columbus Wastewater Treatment Facility Last Updated: Reporting For: 5/16/2023 2022 5.2 Has infiltration/inflow and resultant high flows affected performance or created problems in your collection system, lift stations, or treatment plant at any time in the past year? Yes No If Yes, please describe: High peaking flows overload the grit removal system. Inflow and infiltration contribute to higher energy costs of lift station pumping. 5.3 Explain any infiltration/inflow (I/I) changes this year from previous years: Each year I/I is directly related to weather events particularly intense and/or long duration rains, rapid snow melt or combination thereof. The I/I in 2022 increased due to an increase of precipiation, particularly in the month of June. 5.4 What is being done to address infiltration/inflow in your collection system? The City continues it's efforts to reduce I/I through assessment and rehabilitation of sewer system infrastructure in a financially responsible manner. To reduce private line I/I sources, lateral replacement incentive is in place to assist property owners with costs of updating their service.

Bledsoe, Interim Director of Public Works DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER: As a way to raise funds, the Beautification Committee is asking the Council to approve the use of the City/DPW owned garbage cans located throughout City parks. These garbage cans would be “sold”, and residents and/or businesses could paint a design on the garbage cans to be displayed in the parks. The Committee is working with the 4 th of July group on the logistics, but would stick with the theme of the festivities, and could include a judging contest. Details are still TBD. Paula Steiner, Chair of the Beautification Committee, will attend the meeting to answer any questions.

One former student came up with a Charlie Cardinal logo and is allowing the City / Beautification Committee to use the logo for the new banners. The school district will be donating funds to the Committee to help offset the cost. Paula Steiner, Chair of the Beautification Committee, will attend the meeting to answer any questions.

The Library Board pointed to the 55,000 people coming through their doors during the year, and recognized that their limited parking often requires their patrons to rely on parking off Library premises. The Board felt it was a reasonable and responsible investment. In checking with the previous Director, the Library Board did not discuss or approve funding for this investment. Since this is a State Highway, and there are multiple implications from placing traffic controls, particularly in consecutive intersections, staff recommend the City Engineer and Police Department be involved in determining the viability of pedestrian safety improvements if the Council would like to move forward and has the funding available.
