Mr. Damon Johnson, City Engineer, addressed the council with his city <br /> report. He said there was a house on Dogwood East where a main sewer line <br /> was moved on the property and they can not find where an easement was <br /> acquired. He said because of where the sewer line is place on the property it <br /> could obstruct any additions to the house. Mr. Johnson said the property is <br /> currently for sale and the owners are having a difficult time of selling because of <br /> the sewer line. He said the property owner wants the city to purchase the <br /> property. He said he has discussed the situation with the Utilities Attorney Mr. <br /> Jerry Post and he just wanted the council to be aware of the situation. <br /> Mr. Johnson said the he and Waste Water Treatment Plant Supervisor <br /> Eugene Townsley would like to travel to two sites in Wisconsin to look at ABS <br /> centrifugal blowers for the wastewater plant expansion. He said this blower <br /> technology is new to the United States but has been used for several years in <br /> other countries. The blowers are more expensive but use less electricity and <br /> have considerable less maintenance. Councilmember Terrell moved to allow the <br /> out of state travel and Councilmember Shetron seconded. All voted for. <br /> Mr. Johnson said approximately 10 representatives are here form FEMA <br /> and they were going to perform a 100% evaluation on the work orders submitted <br /> by Adjusters International for our March floods. He said they hoped to complete <br /> the evaluation in about two weeks. <br /> REVIEW JULY FINANCIALS <br /> The council reviewed the July 2008 financials. They also set September <br /> 30th for the first 2009 budget meeting. <br />
