RE: ENGINEERING STUDY TO UP GRADE THE SEWER LAGOON The mayor made a report on the engineering report for the sewer study. We sent out five requests for bids and didn't receive any back except Forsgren. We do have the approval from the State Department of Environmental Quality to submit that application and we are on the list to be funded. He said the contract would probably be on a cost plus. A motion was made by Glen Pond that we accept Forsgren Associates to do the engineering study to up grade the Sewer Lagoon and authorize the Mayor and committee to negotiate the contract with Forsgren. The motion was seconded by Nyle Fullmer. All Aye. RE: LID FOR CRESTHAVEN, MILLHOLLOW, ASH, BIRCH, 1ST NORTH & 5TH WEST The mayor reported on the meeting with the Cresthaven neighborhood. The consensus was that we would do an overlay next year. We would do the LID to the sidewalks, curbs and gutters that need to be done while we take care of the drainage. We got a letter from Blair Manwaring, who wanted to be added to the LID. The council discussed putting an LID in other areas around the schools for sidewalk. Bruce Sutherland said we need to require sidewalk around the schools or feeders to schools for safety sake. We need to do Millhollow. A motion was made by Bruce Sutherland to include in the LID Millhollow and Cresthaven and put out a feeler for Ash, Birch, 1st North and 5th West. Seconded by Nyle Fullmer.

Most cities do it with covenants to limit the type of trees. RE: GERALD TAYLOR'S HOME Gerald Taylor asked about the decision on Gerald Taylor's home. We need to make a decision. The mayor said Gerald was going to get us something in writing. We might have to compromise on it. If he cut back on his garage on the north he would be within 3 feet of meeting the set back. Bruce said he had understood that that would be the compromise. RE: ENERGY AUDIT OF CITY BUILDING - ADOPTING THE NORTH WEST ENERGY CODE? The other meeting we had last week was on the Energy Audit on city buildings. We are going to request energy audits on the the City Hall and Fire Station. Farrell thought it would be a good idea to do the Tabernacle. The mayor told the council we need to decide if we want to adopt the North West Energy Code. If we adopt it we will have to have public hearings. We need to require buildings to be energy efficient. A motion was made by Bruce Sutherland and seconded by Glen Pond to approve the bills. All Aye Meeting adjourned Nile L. Boyl Mayor ~ .~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~ Rose Bagley, City Clerk
