<br />There were activities all weekend and the weather was perfect for the once in a <br />lifetime experience. <br />B) ENGINEER’S REPORT <br />City Engineer Damon Johnson address the council with his monthly report. Mr. <br />Johnson said the plans for the new Water Treatment Plant are completed and <br />ready to be sent to the Health Department and several other regulatory <br />departments for approval. Mr. Johnson said he is planning a meeting between <br />the WTP project managers and the Parks and Recreation project managers. He <br />said it is exciting to have two large projects going at the same time and both <br />groups are looking forward to working with each other to make sure both projects <br />run smoothly. Mr. Johnson said the Wastewater Plant was having problems with <br />large turtles getting stuck in their pumps. The damage to the pumps was <br />extensive, approximately $100,000.00 to repair. He said they recently installed a <br />large screen to protect 3 pumps from the turtles. The Street Department is <br />running as usual, patching streets and doing drainage maintenance. He said <br />they were also working with the railroad company to help improve the track <br />crossings lower College Street. The railroad will not let the city do any work on <br />their tracks so they will have to do the improvements. Lastly, Mr. Johnson said <br />over the past couple of years, he has been working on an issue in Quail Valley. <br />At the intersection of Quail Valley Drive and Whippoorwill Lane, there is an area <br />that has been used to create a shortcut forming a triangle. That area is actually <br />on private property and the owner of the property has asked the city to widen the <br />intersection and block off that area of his property so vehicles can’t drive on it. <br /> <br />
