In the Superintendent’s report, Mr. Andreesen distributed a sheet from the Board Policy Manual regarding enrollment option and recommended that the Board consider setting limits in class size in grades kindergarten through sixth grade.  Scheduling the time for the February Board of Education meeting was discussed due to the fact that Johnson-Brock girls will likely be playing in subdistrict basketball at Auburn, and Johnson-Brock will also be hosting the C1 girls subdistrict that evening.  Mr. Andreesen reported that Kelly Malone of Tremco has additional information regarding energy savings, and a date of January 18 at 10:00 a.m. was set for a meeting of the members of the Building and Grounds committee with Kelly Malone.  Mr. Andreesen made inquiry to the Board regarding the recent superintendent interviews held by committee format for the first time.  The Board responded favorably.
Moved by Lonnie Neddenriep to approve the revised version of the 2011-2012 calendar as presented.  Seconded by Keith Bohling.  In discussion, Mr. Andreesen reviewed the changes from the first draft presented at the December meeting as (1) starting school two days later in August; (2) eliminating the Fridays off school in March during girls and boys state basketball and using those days instead to extend the spring break at Easter; and (3) ending the school year later to accommodate the later start.  Roll call vote:  All ayes, motion carried.

HELD JANUARY 10, 2011
THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS OF THE CITY OF AUBURN, NEMAHA COUNTY, NEBRASKA (BPW), met in regular session on the 10th of January, 2011 at the regular meeting place of the Board at the hour of 12:00 p.m.   This meeting was held in open session as required by Chapter 84, Article 14 of Nebraska Statutes.
Chairman Schneider called the meeting to order and requested roll call:  Members present - Hahn, Glenn, Snyder, and Schneider.  Member Kubik arrived ten minutes late.
Chairman Schneider announced this was an open meeting and information about open meetings was posted on the north wall of the Board Room.
Chairman Schneider noted all Board Members have received a copy of the Agenda for this meeting.
General Manager (GM) Dave Hunter updated the Board regarding the progress of the Water Treatment Plant.  The progress is slow but the contractor is planning on being able to produce water on January 20th.  All of the equipment is installed.  The crews are working on the chemical feed, air controls and finishing up piping.  The contractor, Eriksen Construction, submitted a payment request in the amount of $202,348.46.  Member Snyder made a motion to approve payment to Eriksen Construction.  Member Hahn seconded the motion.  Roll call:  those voting aye – Hahn, Glenn, Kubik, Snyder, Schneider.  Chairman Schneider declared the motion carried.
GM Hunter reported on the power plant and the implications of the Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engine (RICE) rules being enacted by the EPA.  Basically, the power plant would only be able to operate under emergency conditions unless catalytic converters are installed on all of the engines.  The last estimate on the cost for all of the units was roughly $500,000.  If we do not install them then we would miss out on $597,000 per year of revenue from the Capacity Purchase Agreement with NPPD ($4 Million over life of contract).  GM Hunter asked the Board for permission to spend approximately $5,000 to proceed with stack testing to determine exact equipment requirements and cost.  Member Snyder made a motion to approve moving forward with stack testing to determine requirements.  Member Glenn seconded the motion.  Roll call:  those voting aye – Hahn, Glenn, Kubik, Snyder, Schneider.  Chairman Schneider declared the motion carried.
Accounting & Finance Manager (AFM) Melissa Sierks presented a report to the Board detailing the amount of Unused Sick Leave Bonuses that needed to be paid out to Board employees.  The total amount of the bonuses for 2010 was $11,221.44.  It was noted that 5 employees did not take any sick leave in 2010 and that 15 employees would receive the bonuses out of 26 total employees.  Member Glenn made a motion to approve paying the bonuses to the employees.  Member Snyder seconded the motion.  Roll call:  those voting aye – Hahn, Glenn, Kubik, Snyder, Schneider.  Chairman Schneider declared the motion carried.
AFM Sierks asked the Board to ratify the signature of GM Hunter on an amendment to the 457 plan of Board and City of Auburn Employees.  The amendment just assures everyone that the 457 plan is in compliance with the Heroes Earning Assistance and Relief Tax (HEART) of 2008 and the Worker, Retiree and Employer Recovery Act (WRERA) of 2008.  Member Hahn made a motion to ratify the amendment.  Member Snyder seconded the motion.  Roll call:  those voting aye – Hahn, Glenn, Kubik, Snyder, Schneider.  Chairman Schneider declared the motion carried.
AFM Sierks asked the Board for permission to change vendors on the employee’s flexible spending accounts from the current provider PayFlex to a new provider Paychex.  The savings would be approximately $1,000 for 2011.  Member Snyder made a motion to approve Paychex as the new vendor for FSA accounts for the Board of Public Works.  Member Kubik seconded the motion.  Roll call:  those voting aye – Hahn, Glenn, Kubik, Snyder, Schneider.  Chairman Schneider declared the motion carried.
Concerning Financial:
AFM Sierks reported that the following CD’s would mature in February 2011:  Carson National Bank – 16136, 16135, 16134:  First National Bank of Johnson:  23819, 23585.  No quotes could be obtained for those CD’s yet.

Evan Wickersham with JEO provided a hand-out to the Council showing what has been pre-determined for the 1&6 Year Plan.  Mr. Wickersham mentioned three projects are basically combined into one on 5th Street from Main to Walnut Street.  Mayor Ryan asked Mr. Wickersham to explain why the City has removed the Park Avenue overlay from the 1&6 Year Plan.  Mayor Ryan said she would like to conduct the 1&6 Year Street Plan meeting on January 10, 2011 at 6:30 p.m. and confirmed with Mr. Wickersham that this date would work for him.  Council Member Hastings asked about the project on the six year plan on 6th Street between Nebraska and Hoyt and said this road doesn’t just have pot-holes, that it is completely deteriorated.  Hastings asked if an overlay would actually work here.  Council Member Moran said that an over-lay will not work in this area and that the entire street will need to be torn out and then new asphalt will need to be placed.  Mr. Wickersham explained that the specifics on how a section of street is repaired is not as important as the actual identification of the area to be repaired, in regards to the 1&6 Year Street Plan, and the specifics on how it will be repaired can be identified at a later date.
Mayor Ryan brought forth to the Council the discussion on increasing the speed limit on Park Avenue from 25 mph to 30 mph.  Council Member Douglas mentioned she didn’t know why it was ever changed from 30 to 25.  Mayor Ryan said she believed it was from when there were small children living in the area.  Council Member Moran made motion to increase the speed limit on Park Avenue from 25 mph to 30 mph.  Motion was seconded by Council Member Hastings.  Vote indicated:  “AYE” All.  Motion: Carried.
Regarding the Storm/Sanitary Sewer discussion, Mayor Ryan said that for the amount of money it would cost for JEO to come up with a plan for repairs to this project, we may want to get bids on this project on our own.  Council Member Douglas asked how many sewer lines are in question.  Council Member Moran said it is the main storm sewer line going east from 5th at Nebraska Street and the water coming from that broken line caused the ground to sink which then resulted in the sanitary sewer line breaking.  Moran said he could provide the Council a summary on what he thinks should be done.  Council Member Whisler asked if Moran would be willing to come up with bid specs and put this out for bid.  Moran said he is not going to make bid specs for other contractors to bid on and that if the Council wants to do it that way then we would need to use our engineer.  Mayor Ryan said she appreciated Moran coming up with bid specs on the 5th Street repair project so other companies could bid on it, but she does not expect him to continue providing this free service to the City.  Mayor Ryan asked if the Council would be willing to review a bid from Moran Bros. for this work.  Council Member Moran said he realizes he has plenty of work to do for the City and that he has made temporary repairs to the sanitary sewer line which is part of this project and that it is not leaking and there is no emergency.  Council Member Whisler asked that Jay Moran provide a bid and the Council will re-visit the topic once the bid has been received.
