City Engineer Damon Johnson addressed the council and gave them updates on <br /> the following projects. Mr. Johnson said work on the Fitzhugh extension is <br /> progressing but still a long way from completion. The city has been working on <br /> installing a drainage wall and the medical center is installing electrical <br /> applications for future lighting and signage. The county will complete the base <br /> work before asphalt can be applied. <br /> Mr. Johnson said work is progressing on preparing a long term, 10 year, plan for <br /> the Water Treatment Plant. He said there are immediate issues that are being <br /> addressed now but the long term plan will help keep the plant in good working <br /> condition as well as meet the ever changing State and Federal laws. He hopes <br /> to have the plan ready sometime this summer. <br /> The Wastewater Treatment Plant is working well. The replacement of an air-line <br /> to one of the lagoons has presented a slight problem but nothing that cannot <br /> handled. <br /> Bids to paint the Eagle Mountain water tank will be going out soon and he hopes <br /> work will begin this summer. Because the tank will have to be drained and stay <br /> empty for several months, Mr. Johnson is seeking advice from our engineering <br /> firm McGoodwin, Williams and Yates on the best strategic plan to maintain water <br /> pressure for the portion of the city that will be affected by the project as well as <br /> now not to waste water in the process. <br /> Mr. Johnson said he is lacking 6 to 8 easements for the Contract Section II <br /> project. He said it is getting to the point where he may have to pursue legal <br /> action on the last few easements. <br />
