The Roll of the City Council was called with the following members present: Nancolas, Murdoch, Carpenter, Houchins, Raymond, and Ozuna. Absent: none. (RESOLUTION PERTAINING TO THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT FOR THE INCUBATOR PROJECT) Mayor Dakan explained that the purpose of this Special Meeting was to determine if the Council was prepared to continue with the Incubator Project with E.D.A. and Ida -Ore. The Administrative /Personnel Director informed Council that Ida -Ore was to bring new documents, but had not arrived yet. It was her suggestion that the Council continue on to another item on the Agenda while waiting for them. (REPORT FROM THE CITY ENGINEER ON TREATMENT PLANT) The City Engineer stated that two of the Treatment Plant employees were present to answer questions as well as Bill Lynard from Montgomery Engineers. Mr. Lynard has had the opportunity to review the numbers in the preliminary permit that is proposed to be issued to the City of Caldwell for waste discharge. It was Mr. Lynard's intent while reviewing the documents to arrive at an understanding as to where the City should go from here. Mr. Cory further informed Council that this discharge permit has been under consideration for two years. The City has been waiting to receive the actual document so a determination could be made. However, in the interim, Montgomery Engineers has been working with Caldwell to try to obtain information as to how to best take care of the industrial discharge from Dairy Gold. During that time, Dairy Gold has changed their operation which has reduced the actual discharge even though they have expanded their product line. However, there has been an increase of infiltration in the lines and the Plant was now reaching hydraulic capacity and also, there was a sampling problem. These two items, plus additional requirements of the permit, are what is facing the City at this time. After Mr. Cory's comments, Mr. Bill Lynard was recognized and gave an extensive report pertaining to the Treatment Plant. There was considerable discussion with a number of questions asked regarding the permit, the necessity of funds to upgrade the Plant, the testing procedures, and infiltration and collection system.
