APPROVAL OF AGENDA Mr. Yowell moved, Mr. Rimeikis seconded, approval of the agenda as presented. The motion carried by voice vote. PUBLIC COMMENTS – None ITEMS REFERRED BY COUNCIL OR INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS – None SPECIAL ITEMS & PRESENTATIONS – None LIGHT & POWER ITEMS Departmental Activities Mr. Stover presented the report, advising staff had received a request from a citizen to install a streetlight in Yowell Meadow Park at the upper bridge near West Asher Street. The citizen noted that they frequently walk in the area during dark hours and felt unsafe. Mr. Stover noted the installation cost was estimated at $2,000. A brief discussion ensued regarding prior issues, increased use of parks and trails during dark hours, and the possibility of re-evaluating the park hours. It was the consensus of the committee for staff to prepare a discussion item for presentation at the Public Safety, Public Works, Planning & Community Development committee next month. Financial Summary – The committee received the report. Discussion Item: Light & Power Facility Sound Study - Phase II Mr. Hoy presented the Polysonics Phase II Sound Study Report dated September 12, 2025. Page 4 of 31 Light & Power and ES Committee September 24, 2025 – Page 2 of 3 He noted that, per the direction of the committee, staff had authorized Polysonics to proceed with the second phase of the study. Mr. Hoy stated using previously collected data, Polysonics created a sound model of the Electric Avenue site and evaluated several noise barrier options. Traditional barriers were found to be impractical due to the site’s topography; however, a plenum solution recommended by the generator manufacturer Caterpillar (CAT) was determined to significantly reduce generator noise. Polysonics recommended implementing this solution and noted that additional techniques could be considered if needed. Mr. Hoy further reported that, while working with Polysonics, the Town also consulted with CAT to explore additional noise reduction options. CAT suggested using an acoustical plenum that could replace or be attached to the existing louvers. Polysonics reviewed the concept and made assumptions about the materials for modeling purposes, noting that the details of construction would be critical to its effectiveness. Mr. Russell questioned whether staff would be advertising for additional bids for the sound mitigation. A brief discussion ensued. It was the consensus of the committee for staff to advertise for competing proposals regarding the sound mitigation and prepare a report and recommendation for consideration. ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES ITEMS Departmental Activities – The committee received the report. Financial Summary – The committee received the report. Tap Sales Report – The committee received the report. Discussion Item: Reduced Tap Privilege Fees for Existing Structures Mr. Hopewell presented the item stating staff would like to discuss with the Committee the potential of modifying the Tap Privilege Fee Assessment Policy as it relates to existing dwellings. There are approximately 50 existing dwellings within the Town limits and approximately 130 existing dwellings in the County's current Water & Sewer Service Area that are not connected to public water and/or public sewer. The majority of the Town properties are situated within developed portions of the Town that do not have water and/or sewer lines in close enough proximity to make it economically feasible for the property owners to connect to the public system. The County area is less well developed. There are concerns that as time passes and the public infrastructure expands, newer constructed homes may become eligible to connect to the public system and take advantage of a discounted rate. The current language within the Tap Privilege Fee Assessment Policy would offer these homes a discount to connect as the language presently reads: Existing single-family dwellings with permitted well and/or septic systems may purchase taps at 50% of the prevailing rate. Staff believes the original intent of the of the reduced tap fee was to incentivize existing homes with failing systems to convert to public provision of water and sewer. After more than 20 years, it is staff's belief that those properties that wanted and needed to make the transition, have done so and so it may now be time to remove this provision. To this end, there are two potential modifications that staff has prepared for the Committee's consideration. Page 5 of 31 Light & Power and ES Committee September 24, 2025 – Page 3 of 3 The first is to simply remove the existing language related to the discount for existing dwellings. The second would be to limit the eligibility to dwellings that were eligible when the Settlement Agreement was finalized. If this option is desired, the language could read: Single-family dwellings that were already constructed and within Town limits or within the County Water and Sewer Service Area on March 28, 2012 with permitted well and/or septic systems may purchase taps at 50% of the prevailing rate. The Committee also has the option of retaining the existing language. A brief discussion ensued regarding the current language of the Tap Privilege Fee Assessment Policy. It was the consensus of the committee for staff to prepare a report and recommendation reflecting both options for consideration. R/R Re: Environmental Services Reclassification Mr. Hively presented the report and recommendation stating over the course of the past several years, staff has been working to strengthen succession planning throughout all town departments. The Environmental Services Department currently has two vacant positions: one Laboratory/Quality Assurance Manager and one Plant Mechanic I. In an effort to ensure continuity of operations through succession planning, staff is recommending that these two positions, a Laboratory/Quality Assurance Manager, grade 19, and a Plant Mechanic I, grade 10, be reclassified into one Environmental Services Director position, grade 32, to better meet the long-term needs of the department. This will result in an initial net savings of $20,200 per year. This reclassification does require the reassignment of some duties to various positions within the Environmental Services Department. Though it is not expected to make a significant impact to the workload of any one position, the redistribution of these duties will be reviewed by the Environmental Services Director, once hired, and as part of the upcoming Classification and Compensation Study conducted by the Human Resources Department to determine if additional position reclassifications or staffing changes are required. The financial impact for this change results in a shared savings to the Water and Wastewater Treatment funds (30093700 and 40094700) of approximately $20,200 per year. It was recommended that Council approve the reclassification of two positions, a Laboratory/Quality Assurance Manager, grade 19, and a Plant Mechanic I, grade 10, into one Environmental Services Director position, grade 32; and the new Environmental Services Director job description, effective immediately. Mr. Russell moved, Mr. Yowell seconded, approval of the report and recommendation for submission to council as presented. The motion carried by voice vote.

One bid was received from Carter Machinery for a cost of $123,974. No bids were received from the other companies. There are two options available for consideration: 1. Do not proceed with the installation due to the Town’s exemption. 2. Accept the quote from Carter Machinery for material and installation of the four plenums at a cost of $123,974. Financial Impact: There is no cost associated with Option #1 and a cost of $123,974 for Option #2.

Staff compiled this information into a bid package and worked with Town procurement to advertise an invitation to bid for construction of this project on May 25, 2022. A pre-bid meeting was held on June 15, 2022, with prospective bidders. Construction bids were opened at 2 pm, Thursday, July 14, 2022. Based on the bids received, Council awarded MEB the project construction contract at their September 13, 2022, meeting. A pre- construction meeting with MEB was held on November 10, 2022, with a notice to proceed issued on December 1, 2022. The new Alfa Laval centrifuge was delivered on February 10, 2023 and MEB has been on site multiple times completing pre-construction surveys. In June 2023, MEB continued mobilization and completed demolition of the RAS pump station and secondary clarifiers to accommodate retrofit of new aerobic digester equipment in existing basins. From July 2023 through June 2024, MEB continued retrofit of the former secondary clarifiers for conversion to new aerobic digesters, installed yard piping, converted primary clarifier valves and initiated scope of work for installing new centrifuge. Two new headworks screens were installed and placed into service in February 2024. Three new blowers were installed for supplying the new aerobic digesters in April 2024. The new motor control center and programmable logic control cabinet for the new centrifuge were installed in the biosolids building in May 2024. Acceptance testing and the 30 day trial run for the new centrifuge has been completed. Installation of groundwater dewatering system for the aerobic digesters has been completed and is Page 16 of 31 operating. The retrofit of pressure relief valves for the aerobic digesters is final task for substantially completing the contract and should occur within the next 60 days.

Committee: Environmental Services Committee Title: R/R: Reduced Tap Privilege Fees for Existing Structures Background: At the September 24, 2025 Committee, staff discussed the potential of modifying the Tap Privilege Fee Assessment Policy as it relates to existing dwellings. At that time, staff identified that there are approximately 50 existing dwellings within the Town limits and approximately 130 existing dwellings in the County's current Water & Sewer Service Area that are not connected to public water and/or public sewer. The majority of the Town properties are situated within developed portions of the Town that do not have water and/or sewer lines in close enough proximity to make it economically feasible for the property owners to connect to the public system. The County area is less well developed. There are concerns that as time passes and the public infrastructure expands, newer constructed homes may become eligible to connect to the public system and take advantage of a discounted rate. The current language within the Tap Privilege Fee Assessment Policy would offer these homes a discount to connect, as the language presently reads: Existing single-family dwellings with permitted well and/or septic systems may purchase taps at 50% of the prevailing rate. Staff believes the original intent of the reduced tap fee was to incentivize existing homes with failing systems to convert to public provision of water and sewer. After more than 20 years, it is staff's belief that those properties that wanted and needed to make the transition, have done so and it may now be time to remove this provision. To this end, there are two potential modifications for consideration. 1. Remove the existing language related to the discount for existing dwellings. Page 30 of 31 2. Limit the eligibility to dwellings that were eligible when the Settlement Agreement was finalized. If this option is desired, the language could read: Single-family dwellings that were already constructed and within Town limits or within the County Water and Sewer Service Area on March 28, 2012 with permitted well and/or septic systems may purchase taps at 50% of the prevailing rate. From an administration and simplicity perspective, staff recommends option #1. Financial Impact: There is presently no anticipated financial impact, however, if additional homes wish to convert in the future, there would be an increase in revenue in the amount of $8,250 per home (utilizing present tap fee amounts) as a result of removing the 50% reduction for the conversion of existing homes. Recommendation: That Council remove the existing language within the Tap Privilege Fee Assessment Policy related to the discount for existing dwellings. Page 31 of 31
