Compensation from Landis+Gyr for Additional Hours Spent on Water Meters

Andy stated that a lot of work has been done by City employees to work out issues with the new water metering system. It has been determined that $20,000 of City labor was spent on troubleshooting. The City asked Landis+Gyr for compensation for all the time spent troubleshooting. Landis+Gyr has offered the City a two-part deal which includes free hosting fees for 24 months and 50 free water modules. This is equivalent to $24,000. John Hodapp made a motion to send the compensation from Landis+Gyr to Council. Mike Jansen seconded the motion. After a voice vote, all were found in favor.

Discussion of Sewer Check Valve Policy/Ordinance Draft

Andy stated that awhile back there was a discussion about whether to require new residence construction to install a sanitary sewer backflow prevention device. He shared with the Committee a potential ordinance for requiring the device. There were three options listed. After some discussion, it was determined that further research should be done before anything is put into place. No motions were made.
