Administrative Reports: <br />A. City Manager R.T. Herrera stated, "On behalf of the City <br />Staff we would like to congratulate the Mayor on his <br />successful election. We would also like to congratulate <br />Councilman Mike Cooper and Councilman Bob Thrower. We <br />look forward to our continuing relationship and moving <br />together as a team." <br />B. City Manager Herrera asked the Assistant City Manager to <br />give a review of the problem we are currently <br />experiencing on Farrington Boulevard. <br />Assistant City Manager John Joerns reported some <br />necessary repairs to the City's sanitary sewer system and <br />to Farrington Boulevard. Mr. Joerns reported a blocked <br />sewer that has a structural problem. It is the sewer <br />lateral that serves the houses on the northside of Rustic <br />Rock between Big .Island Slough and Farrington Boulevard. <br />Mr. Joerns submitted pictures to Council to assist in the <br />explanation of the situation. Mr. Joerns explained the <br />necessity of authorizing these repairs as an emergency <br />and suspending our regular bid procedures. We will get <br />quotes so we know that we are staying competitive. <br />Mr. Joerns also reported a storm sewer was laid on top of <br />the sanitary sewer without any distance between them. In <br />fact, it cuts through the top of the sanitary sewer. <br />This has allowed storm water to pour directly into the <br />sanitary sewer. He stated, "We will take care of this <br />problem at the same time, but we have not received the <br />quotes on this part of the repairs. We wanted to make <br />Council aware of these situations. We will proceed with <br />repairs as soon as we have a correctly identified plan of <br />action. We will come back to Council for the declaration <br />
