Councilman Sikes also said that we had requested a report from Mr. Murphy on the Briley, Wild question. The report had been given to him tonight, but he had read about it in the newspapers on Saturday. The Council should get these reports and not have to read about them in the newspapers. 3 o o Councilman Asting reported that No.4 Lift Station was fouled up by the contractor.

Murphy who is a professional engineer. The Council will have to accept or reject his recommendation. Councilman Astinq made a motion that the Council accent this report. Councilman Ledbetter seconded the motion. . Councilman Sikes said that he had just received this report. He feels that we should check into this more thoroughly. He still Questioned the renort that was sent in that the meter was correct. There are some questions we need answered. Councilman Astinq said that if Mr. Sikes would state these questions they would try to find the answers for him. Councilman Sikes said that the report that was turned in on our July report by the sewer treatment plant of the inspection of this meter, this meter was inspected by the manufacturer and stated as beinq a correct meter. You have a renort from AWK Industries checking out the meter but that is not the manufacturer of this meter. What happened to the July report? Mr. Wild, Briley, Wild Associates, spoke to the Council. The second check on Tuesday, following last Monday. The meter was checked by Fisher Porter the manufacturer of the meter. They reclaibrated the meter and the reports issued were from last week. Councilman Sikes asked about the July report. Mr. Wild said that the July report was also done by Fisher Porter. The report says "checked the calibration - ok.,could not drop flow to zero reference point. II Councilman Sikes point would that or 300,000 when point affected. Mr. Wild said that it is. He doesn't reallv know how they did this check. Mr. Wild briefly explained methods for checking calibration. asked if when they were talking about a zero affect it if you were UP to say 100,000 or 200,000 you get up to these higher points is that zero Councilman Sikes said that the employees at believed that the July report was correct. there anything in that report that Briley, questioned? the rlant would have As . engineers, is Wild would have Mr. Wild said they received a copy of the report only to verify the dollars and the contract. At the time we had no reason to question that report. Councilman Sikes said that he questioned why an engineering firm would not have picked that up right away and say to us that there were some problems. Why did we have to bring this to your attention? 4 o o Mr. Wild said that his company is not running the City. They are not responsible for operating the treatment ~lant. They are not responsible for insuring that everything the City does is correct. He does not think that the Citv would want to pay oualified enqineers to do the work of operators of-the treatment p~a~t: - Councilman Sikes asked that as our consultinq enaineer doesn't Briley, Wild look at the reports that we sen~ to"them. Why didn't they question that report? Mr. Wild said that frankly they did not notice it. We receive reports from this City as we do from other cities is to keep all information available in our files so that we can have an adequate background in case of problems. Normally, if treatment plant operators notice what they believe might be a problem, they contact us. We received no questions on this report. Councilman Astinq said that Mr. Kuvk had reoorted that the inflow in our sewer plant was 250,000 9als.per day' and actually it is closer to 400,000 gals.a day which certainly points up the need for the new sewer plant. Mayor Christy said that he did not want to make any statement on something he had not had time to study. He had just received the report today. Councilman Sikes said that he had made a motion, after Mr. Wild read his report, that Mr. Murphy should check this out and report back to the Council. That report was passed out tonight.

Councilman Ledbetter made a motion that the Council set u~ a workshop meeting on the refuse collection problem, invite Mr. J. Cameron to act in an advisory capacity and study the feasibility of having the City resume pickup. He added that Mr. Cameron should look over the equipment the City has.
