City Manager Rose stated that the City Council reviewed an overview of the results of the Basin 4 Pilot Study at a Planning Session in April.

City Manager Rose stated the Council has before them an Amendment #4 to the Sanitary Sewer Capacity Assurance Program and he recommended approval of the proposal for a total cost not to exceed $264,325. In response to questions from Councilman Suess and Councilman Rutledge, Director of Engineering Redman stated the brunt of the proposed work by RJN will be on designing the capital improvement project. The Pilot study needs a full year to complete due to the required data collection during wet weather in the Spring of 2016.
