HomeMy WebLinkAbout1975, Aug 6 LID 22problems at the pool. The water was turning cloudy again where it was
impossible to see the bottom of the pool in the deep end. P9r. Perks tested
the water and found that it contained floating paint. The paint had a
7 day curing time which was not observed. The paint is flaking off to
the side of the pool and clouding the water, then when the chemicals ~`~
are added the water turns brown. Mr. Perkes said this would be toxic
and could cause skin irritations. He suggested closing the pool immediately.
The council agreed that as the cloudy water made the pool dangerous also,
it should be closed immediately. Mayor Porter will contact the college to
see if we can move our swimming classes to the College pool until this
session is completed.

:. 'r•lATER DEPARTMENT PROBLEMS DISCUSSED, TARGET GUAGE DISCUSSED
Councilman Barton Jensen advised of some questions the Water Department
has. I. They want 1-o Know what to paint the pumphouse at the new reservoir.
Councilman Jensen suggested not painting; the pumphouse is cinderblock and
would look better if it was left uhpainted. Painting it would just mean
another maintenance problem. 2. Jerry Brian, Superentendent of the
..Water Department, wants a target guage for the top of the new tank. This
'would enable them to see the fullness of the tank with binoculars. The cost
would be around $1,000. Council felt that it is unnecessary to go this
-added expense when the should go up to the reservoir anyway and the City
Hall will be equipped with all necessary guages and equipment.
3. The question of the guages and equipment in City Hall. The equipment
is being installed now in City Hall. They will have red lights that
will come on if there are any problems v/ith the system. Councilman Barton
Jensen suggested also putting warning buzzer in the front office so they
could radio the Water Department in case of an emergency.Also it would be
a very good idea to have a buzzer or warning light system into the Fire
Station so that if anything went wrong at night or on weekends when the
Clerks office is closed, the Fire Department could notify Water Department
personnel.
AIRPORT DISCUSSED

DISCUSSION ON NEW PARKS AIVD TEI'JNIS COURTS
Discussion on new Parks and tennis courts. They have started planting
'the grass at the park by the new high school. Mayor Porter hopes to
be able to get the tennis courts in by winter so that they could use
°°°them for skating rinks this winter. Councilman Jensen expressed the
need for metered lighting for the rinks and tennis courts. This would
end the problem of the park lights being left on all night.
