Mayor Baugh asked for a motion to go from the Council meeting into the Workshop.
Councilman Inman so moved. Councilman Asting seconded the motion. Motion
CARRIED 5-0.
Blount, Sikes, Bouck, and Rockett, Inc./Amasek - Ms. Brenda Ellswick stated that
the joint venture firm with Amasek was incorporated in 1982 and they've worked
a total of 10 years with members of the staff. She noted that the proposed
association with Geraghty & Miller, Inc. is because they have a person for
groundwater projects. She introduced Mr. Allen Stewart, Mr. Art Grimm, Mr. David
Bouck, and Mr. Tom Tessier, Geologist from Geraghty & Miller, Inc. She presented
Council with personalized summaries of their presentation. Councilman Asting asked
where they are located and Ms. Ellswick replied Cocoa and Orlando.
Mr. Ferrara arrived at the meeting at this time, 1:14 P.M.
Councilman Asting asked what office they'd serve Edgewater from and the reply
was Cocoa.
(
Mr. Stewart said he's a principal of Amasek and they'd reviewed the system and
prepared an overview of the water and wastewater plants and proposed wellsites.
He stated that the City has an immediate concern for more water to be delivered
and they'd give their utmost attention to this. He said if they want to upgrade
service pumping capacity and increase r storage they may want to improve the
recarbonation system but they recognize the need for a new wellfield and want
to maximize the current facilities. He said they have to control the THM problem
and want to talk about water conservation projects. He added that the wastewater
treatment plant is of secondary concern as it has adequate capacity but they
want to optimize the operation and look at possible upgrading of the collection
system and doing a sewer system evaluation. He pointed out that sludge handling
is going to be changed according to Florida Codes. He reviewed some of the
recent water supply projects they've been involved in: near Titusville, near
Oviedo, Lake Square Mall in Leesburg, City of Tampa, City of Opa Locka, City of
North Miami, Village of Homestead, and Dade Utilities. Councilman Asting asked
if a shallow well has a life expectancy and Mr. Stewart replied no.
Mr. Art Grimm, Director of Engineering for Amasek, said they have about 20
people in Cocoa with 10 in operations. He said 3 are registered engineers with
14 to 35 years of experience, and they have a mechanical designer. He said he
has 20 years experience with public works activities but the last few years
are with private practice, but he's had a lot of involvement with design work
for municipalities. He noted that he's currently project manager for Bouchelle
Island and is in this area all the time and would be project engineer for our
projects.

Blount, Sikes, Bouck, and Rockett, Inc./Amasek (Continued)
Councilman Asting asked how he'd plan for the expansion of the present
water plant and Mr. Grimm replied.that he'd get the threat of moratorium
off their backs and most of the units can be picked up to buy them the time
to do the major overhauling. Councilman Asting asked how the overhaul would
be done and Mr. Grimm replied by pump impellers, backwashing filters, etc.
Councilman Asting asked if they can pump more than the peak and Mr. Wadsworth
replied they might be able to do full capacity for a day or more but not for
a long time. Councilman Asting asked if overhauling could help and Mr.
Wadsworth replied, possibly. Councilman Asting asked if the water plant can
be expanded by adding new treatment units to the present plant or if they'd
recommend building a new plant. Mr. Grimm said he thinks it can be expanded
by adding units but they'd have to look at it.
Mr. Tom Tessier, Geologist with Geraghty and Miller, stated they'd subcontract
the joint venture and would bring exploration and development of ground water
resources. He displayed a chart with a typical supply well which showed layers
they go through when constructing a well. He said the two immediate concerns
are to increase the capacity of the existing plant and getting more raw water
to the plant. He showed a chart which listed their experience with coastal
community water supplies. He said if they get options on the land they want
to consider buying for a wellfield, they can test it.
Mr. Ferrara asked his opinion of the reverse osmosis plant, and Mr. Tessier
replied the largest one they were involved in was with Indian River County
but the situation was different. He added that to increase capacity of some
wells, they might want to try the reverse osmosis. Mr. Ferrara asked which
he'd do if he had a choice and Mr. Tessier replied to increase the supply at
this plant, a unit treated by reverse osmosis might be an alternative but he
wouldn't want to retrofit the entire plant to accommodate R.O. Mr. Ferrara
asked about maintenance and Mr. Stewart said they'd see capital costs that
are lower than lime softening and they don't produce sludge, don't have THM
and the small space, but they'd evaluate this. Mr. Ferrara pointed out there's
more maintenance on them in this County. Mr. Tessier stated that technology
is changing a lot.
Councilman Rotundo asked a time line to produce the water and Mr. Tessier
said they'd look at wells #4 and #5 and see why yields are down. Councilman
Rotundo asked what would be more appropriate for financing and Mr. Tessier
said they'd look at the cheapest and most expeditious. Councilman Rotundo
asked if they're speaking about 4 or 5 months and Mr. Tessier replied it would
be about 3 or 4 months and if the change in pump size is needed, the biggest
time lag will be getting the new pump.
Councilman Asting asked how the area at 442 and 95 looks for putting new
wells in and Mr. Tessier said it looks very good.
Mr. Ferrara asked if they were involved in the evaluation of wells for New
Smyrna Beach and Mr. Tessier replied no but they received a call from them
asking if they'd get involved. Mr. Ferrara said he understands that what
they predicted and what they got was different.
Mr. David Bouck pointed out the ventures had computer assisted designs and
he displayed a chart. He said the staff is immediately available to work
with our City. He thanked Mr. Ferrara and Mr. Wadsworth for their briefing
and assistance.
Mr. Ferrara asked who the representative would be for Edgewater and Mr. Grimm
replied that he would be.
Mayor Baugh called a short recess at 1:57 P.M. to await the arrival of the
next engineers.
Mayor Baugh called the meeting back to order at 2:06 P.M.

Camp, Dresser and McKee -
Mr. Dennis Withey, Vice President, introduced Charlie Voss, Dr. George
Grantham, Dave Refling, Dave Wright, and Emmett Owens. He stated they're
an environmental consulting engineering firm and have resources of people
to do our project. He said they have a Maitland staff of 50 and 25 are
engineers. He stated they can provide planning, design, operation and
maintenance services, financial and regulatory consulting, and construction
management. He said they're currently working on a project in Lake Mary.
Mr. Dave Refling was introduced and said they established a project team
that will fit Edgewater's needs. He reviewed what each of the team would be
responsible for, noting that he'd be the project engineer. He reviewed their
recent experience with Lake Mary, Orange County, Port Orange, New Smyrna
Beach, and Cocoa. He displayed a chart of priorities: water well field,
wastewater, financing evaluations, and scheduling considerations.
Dr. Grantham had a chart on Water Services Approach. He said he looked
at the wellfield, the treatment plant, and reports, and a super critical
item is the connection made for emergency use with New Smyrna Beach. He
referred to the decreased draw down of one well from two years ago
and said they'd look at that to avoid getting salt water. He said they
agree with the projects of Conklin, Porter and Holmes regarding the quantity
and feels they'll have 12 to 15 wells and USGS is recommending the limitation
on a wellfield for 300 GPM and maintain space between of 500 feet. He
suggested they go to a larger wellfield than Conklin's firm recommended to
get the spacing. He pointed out there are a lot of regulatory constraints
in this area and they know about these people and are able to take care of it.
Councilman Asting asked what caused wells #4 and #5 to be down so low and
Dr. Grantham replied they don't know. Councilman Prater asked if putting
them too close together would already draw the field down and Dr. Grantham
said if that were the case, then #4 would be the lower one but #5 is lower
so it may be a bad aquifer or the screen could be clogged up. Mr. Wadsworth
said he's going to check it and find out. Dr. Grantham said they'd consider
this to be one of their first priorities. Mr. Ferrara asked who would investi-
gate that particular area and Dr. Grantham said he's capable and trained but
will call Gary Witt or Rick Johnson, who are hydrogeologist specialists.
He referred to the buildup of calcium carbonate and said they'd take care of
that problem cheaply and quickly. He said the plant is existing at full
capacity now and they can't put more through it because it won't take it and
give proper treatment.
Councilman Asting asked if they could buy treatment units to increase the
capacity of the present plant and make it one operation rather than going
to the expense of a new plant. Dr. Grantham said other plants would be easier
to operate and more efficiently, and the current one just isn't large enough,
but they'd study it before making a final recommendation. Councilman Asting
asked if the units would be compatible and Dr. Grantham said yes. Mr. Refling
said they can get a little more capacity by blending treated water for a short
term expansion. Dr. Grantham spoke on the THM problem and the method of correcting
by converting chlorine and adding ammonia and making chloramines. He added
that they'll prepare a master plan. Councilman Asting asked if they could pump
more water than now if they locate the wells where suggested and Dr. Grantham
said they have a problem with high service pumps and possibly have deposits
in the 8" line over the years. Councilman Asting asked if another storage tank
would help and Dr. Grantham replied yes, definitely. Councilman Prater asked
if he'd recommend above ground or below ground storage and Dr. Grantham said
he likes to see the water up and it doesn't have to be pumped. Councilman
Asting pointed out there's a big difference in cost and Dr. Grantham agreed.
Mr. Ferrara asked his opinion of the R.O. plants
they have a lot of money they have good points.
it's a costly plant and Dr. Grantham said it's 5
paying now.
Councilman Inman asked where the team would work out of and Dr. Grantham replied
Maitland. Mr. Refling said they might bring in someone from another location
for a short period. Dr. Grantham noted that he lives in Titusville and commutes
to Maitland now.

Camp, Dresser and McKee (Continued) -
Charlie Voss said he'd be in charge of the wastewater section and that's
the lowest priority and he wouldn't recommend any fast action now but
they've been made aware of a possible problem due to the extensive rains.
He said he'd prepare a master plan on wastewater needs and it would be a
flexible working document that would be modified every 5 years. He said
they'd look at the collection system and effluent discharge but the plant
is in good shape. CouncilmanAstingnoted that Florida Shores has limited
sewer service and asked the type of system he'd suggest. Mr. Voss said
the low pressure system is okay and it depends on how the easements are set
up, plus they require a storage pot. Councilman Inman asked what areas use
LPS.
David Wright said he did LPS for a number of years and he reviewed the systems.
Councilman Asting asked who does the maintenance on these and Mr. Wright said
it's usually the responsibility of the municipality or the private developer
once it leaves the house. Councilman Asting asked how maintenance free they
are and Mr. Wright said if they're set up right, they're very good systems
and maintenance free but if not, they can be a nightmare. Mr. Ferrara asked
which he'd recommend and Mr. Wright replied gravity. Mr. Voss said they have
to look at it and decide what areas need sewers and where it would be cost
effective.
Mr. Wright then said he'd be handling the regulatory and financing end of it
and the primary goal is to keep rates constant and make some money. He
said they'll organize and control the staff at the Orlando office and they
need to look at short and long term financing. He referred to the Lake
Mary project that was financed through Farmers Home and reviewed ways to
create innovative financing. Mr. Ferrara asked the average impact fee for
water and sewer for a subdivision development and Mr. Wright replied that at
Lake Mary they set up an impact fee of $557 per ELU for water only and then
raised it to $842.40 and Seminole County went to $850 for water and sewer is
$1,500 to $1,650 usually. He said Lake Mary doesn't have sewer yet but
will probably be in that range when they do. Mr. Ferrara asked if multi-family
would be the same and Mr. Wright said they base it on ERU.
Mr. David Refling said the first thing they'd do is establish water system
priorites and that would take about a month and he suggested they put a
monitoring well next to wells #4 and #5. He reviewed the other priorities
with time frames, and said after these projects are completed, they do pre-
liminary designs on second facilities. He noted that the recent Florida
Engineering Society Journal gave them an award for the design of a plant in
Orange County.
Mayor Baugh recessed the meeting at 3:07 P.M.
Mayor Baugh called the meeting back in session at 3:14 P.M.
Dyer, Riddle, Mills and Precourt, Inc./Marshall Engineers -
Mr. Frank Marshall introduced Gerry Hartman, Jack McCabe, Jerry Volkmann,
Dr. Allan Fickett, and himself. Mr. Hartman said their expertise is in
water and wastewater and they have over 150 employees and computer facilities.
Mr. Marshall said they offer three advantages not available from any other
firm and one is local representatives are available for as needed basis, and
they have a complimentary team of engineering resources. He showed a slide
of the Edgewater area. He noted that the wastewater plant is operating well
within the limits of DER standards and achieves 95% or more of BOD removal.
He suggested in the future they might want to consider infiltration-inflow
correction, effluent equalizing, increased sludge digestion, larger sludge
drying beds, and provisions for degritting and screening. Mr. Hartman said
both firms are experienced with stormwater management, and he reviewed some
of the possibilities at the wastewater plant and noted nothing immediate is
needed but they can plan for it.

Dyer, Riddle, Mills and Precourt, Inc./Marshall Engineers (Continued)-
Mr. Marshall said there is an immediate need for increased capacity, well-
field expansion, and plant expansion or upgrading. He suggested a hydraulic
expansion be done on the distribution system. He said they would study a
method of charging impact fees to make sure growth pays for itself, and
sugested drilling a shallow aquifer well to give 1.8 MGD.
Mr. Hartman stated they're available to begin work next week. He noted that
there's a THM problem but it's throughout the state. He said they're continuing
consultants for New Smyrna Beach and would provide an ammoniator system and
more storage. Councilman Asting asked if they're proposing another water
storage tank and Mr. Hartman replied yes. Councilman Asting asked if it would
be located at the present plant and Mr. Hartman replied yes, as that site can
always be used for a pump site facility. Councilman Asting asked if it would
be ground storage and Mr. Hartman replied yes, and it's very cost effective.
Mr. Hartman said they have quotations for package plants in the state and
have done a CUP modification and know what they can do to add capacity.
Mr. Marshall pointed out they might be able to blend water in the clear well
to provide the capacity immediately. Mr. Hartman noted that it's a package
cost for the ammonia and the only charge is the ammonia, with no capital cost.
Mr. Ferrara asked the size and Mr. Hartman said they're looking at a half-million
tank and they've looked at the hydraulics and it will be done quickly and get
additional water by Spring.
Mr. Hartman said they understand the ordinances and reviewed the permits with
the St. Johns staff and filled out the permit modification for additional
wells and understand the DER permits and won't have to pay extra for another
consulting firm.
Mr. Marshall stated when they are through the immediate needs they'll work
on a design of a new wellfield and treatment plant to be located at 442 and
95 near Cow Creek, east or west of 95. Mr. Hartman showed a preliminary
design and said they are engineers of record for the well expansion of New
Smyrna Beach. Mr. Hartman reviewed the schedule they would use and the time
limitations, and noted they believe in phasing facilities and using what they
already have. He noted that Phase I would be using immediate facilities and
Phase II is planned phased improvements.
Mr. Hartman reviewed the wastewater system time line schedule and noted a
possibility that the Federal government will put money into wastewater grants.
Councilman Asting asked if the City would be eligible to apply for these
grants and Mr. Hartman replied yes. Councilman Asting asked if they would
prepare the grants and Mr. Hartman replied yes, and it costs $1,000 and is
on their word processor. Councilman Asting asked if they could use the funds
for installation of sewer lines and Mr. Hartman replied it's only for existing
problems and not for lines. Councilman Asting asked if it could be used for
infiltration problems and Mr. Hartman replied yes. Mr. Hartman pointed out
that he can't guarantee a grant but they've been very successful with this.
Mr. Marshall said he would be the liaison person and would be in charge of
the line work or design work, and they have a local office in New Smyrna
Beach, with computer and technical support in Orlando.
Mr. Hartman stated they'll commit to the City in writing who the team will be.
Mr. Marshall reviewed the organizational chart, and reviewed the people who
would be the technical staff support people and introduced the men who were
with him at the meeting. Mr. Marshall showed a slide and named the people
in his office in New Smyrna Beach. Mr. Hartman showed a slide of his office
in Orlando with the available facilities pointed out. Mr. Hartman stated
they have a lot of municipal financing experience. Mr. Marshall distributed
copies of a letter of commitment if the City should choose their firm.
Mr. Ferrara asked their opinion of R.O. plants and Mr. Hartman said they
designed 4 or 5 R.O. plants and they do the job and are good but there are
other alternatives with lesser costs. Mr. Marshall noted there is a lot of
new technology but R.O. requires a lot of operating maintenance and they may
be good for a peaking unit.
Mayor Baugh called a recess at 3:52 P.M.
Mayor Baugh called the meeting back in session at 4:01 P.M.

Gee and Jenson -
Mr. John Gray, Regional Manager, said they have 300 professional adminis-
trative personnel in their staff located throughout the State and they've
been in business since 1951. He noted they have an office in Titusville with
7 professionals and the Orlando office has 25 or 26, with 11 P.E. IS, an
architect, and design draftsman technician. He said they have water and
wastewater capability for structural design. He noted that Port Canaveral
is a client of theirs and has been for years. He said the project management
would come from the Orlando office, and if they do construction management
for the project, they would have a person in the area every day. He intro-
duced John McCune, Vice President from West Palm Beach, and said his responsi-
bility is water, wastewater and hydrology. He introduced Bill Reese, the
department head for water and wastewater, from West Palm Beach.
Mr. McCune said they can do anything with the master plan and have had
municipal clients for 20 to 25 years. He said hydrogeology is a specialty and
they have good men on this, and have financial analysis available for funding.
He noted they've been instrumental in selling bonds of over two million dollars,
and they have a man trained in the art of setting rates. He said they have
someone who will handle controls and implementation, and have electrical capa-
bilities, with high voltage also. He stated they can take care of flooding
problems as well as water and sewer and can offer transportation and archi-
tecture. He reviewed some of the projects that were related experience.
He noted they can build the plants in the phase basis and look to 7 to 10
year periods to minimize the cash outflow and maximize the number of deficiencies.
He also noted they have someone on their staff familiar with grants.
Mr. Reese reviewed the projects they're working on now. He said the water
situation is the immediate problem and capacity and timing because they
can't spend a year to develop a master plan. He said there's a well efficiency
problem also and system hydraulics is a potential problem. He said they'll
identify the alternatives and look at the hydrogeology situation first.
He said they'd have to balance out the location of the wellfield in comparison
to transmission costs. He stated that a package contract could be used
effectively to treat water on an interim basis or low pressure R.O., and
they'd look at it for softening. He said ion exchange is an option and
an interconnect with New Smyrna Beach is another solution on a short term,
and they'd compare the options. He reviewed the low pressure R.O. and said
they're not pushing it but think: it's appropriate to look at it. He said
they can go deeper for more quantity but lower quality, and they'll recommend
an approach and will be firm and supportive and on schedule. He said they'll
make a financial analysis to decide the implementation.
Mr. Ferrara asked if R.O. plants are expensive to operate and Mr. Reese said
the operating costs are higher than lime softening but R.O. plants can be
built in a much smaller area, have no sludge problem, and our location is close
for discharge of the brine. Mr. Ferrara asked if it's basically for softening
and Mr. Reese replied yes.
Mr. Gray thanked Council for having them for this presentation. Mr. Ferrara
asked if they were involved with Disney World and Mr. Gray said they were
general consultants on a continuing basis and are now involved with Epcot and
did the drainage work for the Reedy Creek Drainage District. There was a
further discussion about the Disney World project.
Mayor Baugh suggested a motion to go back into the regular Council meeting.
Mr. Wadsworth pointed out that the Council now should rank the firms
numerically and then talk to the first firm and if they can't come to an
agreement, they then talk to the second, but can't then go back to the first
choice. He suggested they set a meeting date to meet with them to negotiate
a contract and he could take a copy of the contract to the City Attorney to
review to expedite matters.

City Clerk Martinez asked if the selection committee has a recommendation.
Mr. Ferrara listed his preference as: Camp, Dresser and McKee as #1; Blount,
Sikes as #2; Dyer, Riddle as #3, and Gee and Jenson as #4.
Mr. Wadsworth listed his preference as: Dyer, Riddle as #1; Camp, Dresser as
#2; Gee and Jenson as #3; and Blount, Sikes as #4. He noted that he liked
Dyer, Riddle as they spent a lot of time with research and talked to DER and
St. Johns and he likes to work with Frank Marshall who has local knowledge and
worked with New Smyrna Beach and Ponce Inlet. He added that Frank has local
immediate coastal knowledge and an alternative for the water supply is shallow
wells and he has shallow well expertise. He noted that New Smyrna Beach has
been well pleased with them and they would commit a couple of the principals
in writing and he'd contract with Gerry Hartman as he's one of the most
respected engineers in the State and then Frank Marshall will give them the
benefits of small local firms.
Councilman Asting said he was on the selection committee and had an opportunity
to talk to Gerry Hartman and was quite impressed with him as he'd mentioned
some of the quick solutions to the water problems and he knows Frank Marshall
from when he was on Council before and he did a good job and is familiar with
our problems. He said he was also impressed with the preliminary work they've
already done. He rated Dyer, Riddle as #1; Camp, Dresser as #2; Blount, Sikes
as #3; and Gee and Jenson as #4.
Councilman Inman said he agreed with Mr. Wadsworth and Councilman Asting in
selecting Dyer, Riddle because Frank Marshall is local and should understand
some of the wellsites and where to put them and gave them a time frame of
the first phase being done in the Spring and he feels that's important.
He said they mentioned grants for wastewater and a finance program to tell
us where to get the money. He said his #2 choice would be Camp, Dresser.
Councilman Rotundo said he agreed, and said he felt Dr. Grantham was very
knowledgeable but appeared to be nervous. He added that his second choice
would be Camp, Dresser.
Councilman Prater stated they have qualified people and will go with Dyer,
Riddle as #1 but had Blount, Sikes as #2.
Mayor Baugh said he had Dyer, Riddle because they are local and were interested
and did their homework, plus they can apply for grants and have the staff to
do it, and they're a good firm. He said Camp, Dresser is his second choice.
Mayor Baugh suggested a meeting to negotiate on Thursday of next week to allow
time for the City Attorney to review the contract. Council members agreed.
Mayor Baugh suggested a motion to adjourn the Workshop and go back into the
Special Meeting. Councilman Prater so moved. Councilman Asting seconded the
motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0.
Mayor Baugh stated the consensus of the ranking of the engineering firms was:
Dyer, Riddle as #1; Camp, Dresser as #2; Blount, Sikes as #3; and Gee and
Jenson as #4, and asked for a motion to accept those as the recommendation
for our engineering firms. Councilman Asting so moved. Councilman Inman
seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0.
Mayor Baugh stated the meeting on Thursday, September 26, will be at 3:00PM
to negotiate. Mr. Wadsworth said he'd notify the firms and get a copy of
the contract to the City Attorney to review it. Council members agreed it
would be an acceptable date and time.

Insurance liability - Menard-May Park - City Clerk Martinez pointed out that
this is administrative but the City Attorney recommended she bring it to
Council's attention. She said they met last Thursday regarding the exposure
problem at Menard regarding lifeguards and the carrier advised her they're
not going to rewrite the package policy until they post the "No Swimming" sign
or put a lifeguard there. Councilman Asting noted the lifeguard question
hasn't been settled yet and they should put up a "No Swimming" sign. City
Clerk Martinez said she'd asked David Garrett to post three signs but it's
not permanent and they haven't closed down the park but have to get a solution
to the liability at the Park. Councilman Asting suggested they have a season
for swimming and the lifeguard would come on, such as Memorial Day to Labor
Day. Mayor Baugh noted the County lifeguards have researched this and we
could set up the program to coincide with theirs. City Clerk Martinez said
they have to get the County Council to go along with them but the City may
have to pay 100% of the cost. Councilman Asting asked if New Smyrna Beach pays
for lifeguards and Councilman Inman replied the County does. Mayor Baugh
suggested they contact some of the County Councilmen to talk to them.
Councilman Rotundo asked if the City would still be liable if someone drowns
and these signs are posted. City Clerk Martinez replied yes. Mayor Baugh
pointed out the insurance carrier will go along with the insurance if the
signs are posted. City Clerk Martinez stated they don't have the enforcement
capabilities because there's not a "No Swimming" ordinance and this is just
for information. Councilman Rotundo asked if the Police Department is aware
of this and City Clerk Martinez replied yes.
Council Authorization - City Attorney and Dan Cory to review and prepare an
updated City map - City Clerk Martinez stated that City Attorney Alvarez has
been working with the Planning and Zoning Board regarding the City maps and
he's requested authorization from Council for him and Dan Cory to jointly
work to research and prepare a 100% accurate City map. Mayor Baugh asked
the cost and City Clerk Martinez said it's hard to determine because she
doesn't know what they're getting into and they'll research 880 and any
changes since then. Councilman Rotundo noted the map for the Comprehensive
Plan was $7,000. City Clerk Martinez said a lot of information is at Dan
Cory's office and they'll use internal staff to pull the ordinances and do
some research. She added that it could be a large project but it's desparately
needed. Mayor Baugh said the City map isn't updated now and City Clerk
Martinez agreed. Councilman Asting moved to accept the recommendation of
the City Clerk/Administrator to have the City Attorney and Dan Cory review
and prepare an updated City map. Councilman Rotundo seconded the motion.
Motion CARRIED 5-0.
Mayor Baugh asked for a motion to adjourn. Councilman Asting moved to adjourn.
Councilman Prater seconded the motion. Meeting was adjourned at 5:05 P.M.
