Administrative Reports Director of Public Works Steve Gillett reported on an adjusted budget for materials testing services for McClelland Engineers, who will provide soils and materials testing for the Fairmont Parkway relief trunk sewer and the main treatment plant expansion. The trunk sewer was overestimated and the main treatment plant expansion was underestimated. The revised budget will be $4,000 for the trunk sewer and $20,000 for the treatment plant expansion. The updated projection reflects a total reduction of $7000 over the original estimate. Fire Chief Joe Sease addressed Council regarding the relocation of the Emergency Medical Services division. They have outgrown their facility. A committee, comprised of Chief Sease, Assistant Fire Chief Champ Dunham, and Police Chief Charles Smith, has investigated several options, and have concluded that the most optimum solution would be to incorporate the EMS facility with the new fire training facility. At the conclusion of the presentation, Council indicated that they had no objections to this, and for staff to pursue that route.
