Mr. Damon Johnson, City Engineer, addressed the council with his Engineer's <br /> Report. Mr. Johnson said good progress is being made on the new Wastewater <br /> Treatment Plant facility. He is hoping the new facility will be up and running this <br /> time next year. The new controls and electrical rehab at the Water Treatment <br /> Plant are working well. He said because of the high water demand during the <br /> summer months, they have waited to install the new filters but should be working <br /> on that soon. The Master Water Plan study is almost completed and should be <br /> ready to review by the end of the year. Water and Sewer Construction is working <br /> back in West Side and still working on Neeley Street. As always, they are <br /> chasing leaks throughout the City. The Street Department is working on a <br /> drainage issue on 23rd street and on the large ditch in the Sawmill Addition. The <br /> contracted work in the Golf Addition should be completed in the next 60 to 90 <br /> days. <br /> H) REVIEW FINANCIALS <br /> The council was given a copy of the September, 2013 financials for review. <br /> MAYOR COMMENTS <br /> Mayor Elumbaugh said there will be a meeting on Thursday at 5:30 at City Hall <br /> for all the Mayors and Councilmember within Independence County. He said last <br /> Monday night the Quorum Court took a straw poll that said they would likely support the <br /> County Judge's proposal to start charging all the Incorporated towns in the County for <br /> housing prisoners in the County Jail. The Judge asked the Mayor to call the meeting to <br /> discuss options with all the other towns in the County. <br />
