Councilman Astinq made a motion that the Council accent this
report. Councilman Ledbetter seconded the motion. .

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

of this meter. What happened to the July report?

was checked by Fisher Porter the manufacturer of the meter.
They reclaibrated the meter and the reports issued were from last
week.

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.

on something he had not had time to study. He had just received
the report today.

back to the Council. That report was passed out tonight.

3-2. Councilman Sikes and Mayor Christy voted NO.
City Attorney Judson Woods read a letter from the attorney's
for Tomoka Refuse Co. objecting to the arbitrary action taken
by the City in withholding funds from Tomoka Refuse. The
question of service has gone on long enou~h and the differences
should either be reconciled or the contract terminated. They
requested a response within two weeks.
The Council discussed the present service of Tomoka refuse.
~
There were numerous comments from the audience concerning dissatis-
faction with the present service.
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. Councilman Asting
