Staff says wastewater facilities plan report coming; warns of 'big dollar signs'

Speaker 5 told the board staff is "hoping to bring to the next meeting" (or the one after) a potential draft report from the wastewater treatment plant facilities plan. Speaker 5 said the report will include a full evaluation and a recommendation on whether and how the project should move forward and warned there will be "big dollar signs with that." Speaker 5 said the existing plant is struggling to maintain permit compliance and that staff have taken equipment out of service, saying, "our existing plant just is not, able to treat like we need it to."

No formal action or vote was recorded in the transcript on the facilities plan. Speaker 5 said the report will be on a future agenda and encouraged board members to attend the meeting when it appears or to view the recording when available.
