this is an extremely important matter.A lot of study,investigation,
and community imput must be had before a decision on this issue
can be made.
Dick McAtee met with the council regarding a beer garden at the Old
Bank.No action taken on this matter at this time.
The clerk-administrator present the following project for capital
improvement to the council:
Phase I--
The City of Waukee is needing additional overhead water storage.
The present overhead tower was constructed in 1953 with a population
of 500.Our daily use,at the present time,is approximately 225,000
to 300,000 gallons per day.We do have 200,000 gallon ground storage
but it must be pumped into the overhead for pressure.DEQ is recommending
a 2 day supply.Also more overhead storage would probably lower our
fire rating.The present forecast on bidding water towers is extremely
~ood.Approximate cost for a 500,000 gallon water tower would be
~250,000.00.This price is lower than at this time a year ago.
Financing would be $150,000.00 Revenue and $100,000.00 GO.The
GO issue would call for a special election.The clerk checked with
the County Auditor and if action is taken tonight,we would have
the election on the 21st of June.We also have the procedures
necessary to call for an election by Robert Helmick,bonding attorney.
After a lengthy discussion,it was decided that a further study
should be made by the council as to whether we need the additional
storage or if we have other priorities.The council will meet and
discuss priorities and report back.
Future needs--Phase II--Phase II would be larger filter plant and
larger pumps in the new well.Our present filter plant will filter
450 gallons per minute which meets our present requirements~
Dan Gardiner and Co.met with the council regarding a study in East
Dallas County for proposed annexation in the future.The study would
be south to the Interstate,east to the county line,and ~mile south
of Ashworth Road and from the present city limits ~mile north on Highway
6 to county line.
