Mayor Ryan stated the water report is available at City Hall for public inspection. Dave Hunter with BPW was present to explain the status of the well that is being rehabilitated.  Mr. Hunter explained that when the well was pulled, they dropped the acid down and didn’t see anything.  But when they started the plunging process to get the iron out, they pulled the plunger and found rock.  This indicates a casing or screen problem.  Lengthy discussion followed.

Regarding the Mayor’s Report, Mayor Ryan asked the City Clerk to read the Maintenance Report she provided to the Council.  This report included the fact that she is still very pleased with how things are working with the City Maintenance Workers and that she is not needing to write as many work orders as work seems to be getting done.  Hydrant flushing was scheduled for July 31st, August 1st & 2nd.  However, problems at the well interfered with this project for now and it has been postponed.  The City Clerk asked that the maintenance workers be sure to lift manhole covers at 6th & 7th and Oregon to check sewer flow.  The Clerk stated at some point we will need to figure out a solution to this problem to prevent damage from sewer backup.

The Maintenance Workers also performed the following during July:  Trash pick-up, mowed, locates, replaced bridge planks, read meters, maintained the compost and white goods sites, repaired water leak at 4th & California, took feral cats to the Animal Hospital, turned on/off water services, graded alley between 5th & 6th & Oregon & Nebraska, troubleshot Everride, removed tree at ball park and cleaned drains.

Regarding Agenda Item #1, Council Member Hastings made motion to approve the request from Peru State College to close 5th Street during the homecoming parade on September 29th from 8:00 a.m. until the parade is over.  Motion was seconded by Council Member Moran.  Vote indicated:  “AYE” All.  Motion: Carried.

Regarding Agenda Item #2, Budget Discussion, Mayor Ryan asked if Peggy Kuser had a previous engagement and if that is why the Budget Hearing is scheduled for September 18th at 6:00 p.m. and can’t be held prior to the September 10th Council Meeting.  The City Clerk confirmed that Ms. Kuser is already committed to Brownville on September 10th.  Budget discussion followed.

Regarding Agenda Item #3, Council Member Moran stated the next step regarding the Park Avenue project would be to get the sewer line scoped and see what it looks like.  Council Member Whisler asked if we really need to do this right now since there doesn’t seem to be a problem with the sewer.  Moran stated this must be done to be ready to apply for the grant since we were not ready a couple of months ago and we are trying to get some things done to move forward.  Mayor Ryan agreed and said that even if we are going to consider the Park Avenue project, we need to get this done.  Council Member Hastings stated that he understands that it is frustrating to spend money on putting a camera in the sewer when it doesn’t appear to have any problems, but we will not know unless we do it.  Discussion followed.

Regarding Agenda Item #4, NDEQ Sewer Lagoon Inspection Results, Mayor Ryan stated she spoke with the Clerk about a couple of things on the NDEQ correspondence.  One of which they had our 2000 census population incorrect which indicates a significant population growth, which is incorrect.   The Clerk stated she will send a letter to NDEQ explaining our plan of action on correction items and will explain the population mistake on their part.  Council Member Hastings stated that the items that need to be corrected look like items that work orders will take care of.   Discussion followed.

No members of the public spoke during public voice.
