F. Regular Session: Subjects to be discussed
or upon which any formal action
may be taken are as follows:
1. Bob Staehs of Everett Griffith, Jr. & Associates
to discuss and update the Council
on the capital-improvement program and
the progress of Sportsman’s Paradise Well.
Staehs opened with a report on the new
water well in Sportsman’s Paradise. The
well is being tested and is reportedly going

to produce a maximum of 275 gallons per
minute. We had hoped to get at least 250
GPM, so it is looking great.
Staehs also reported on a master plan for
the city’s water and sewer projects. What
he has given us is a study prioritizing projects
he sees coming. He has given each one
a priority of from 1 to 4.
These projects include:
1. Wastewater treatment facility modifications
(Priority 1)
2. Noonday Lift Station (Priority 1)
3. Main Street Waterline — Hamilton to
curve (west) (Priority 1)
4. Martin Street Waterline (Priority 2)
5. Noonday Waterline (Priority 2)
6. Crist Lift Station (Priority 3)
7. South of State Highway 31 Waterline
Near Kidd Property. (Priority 3)
8. Water well on Redbud and relocate existing
75,000 gallon elevated storage tank
(Priority 4)
This would be a 10-20-year plan.
2. Consider and act on accepting the capital
improvement program as submitted by
Bob Staehs of Everett Griffith, Jr. & Associates,
Inc.
Ann Hall made a motion to accept this
capital-improvement program as submitted

by Bob Staehs of Everett Griffith, Jr. & Associates,
Inc.
Gene Giger seconded this motion
The vote was unanimous.
3. Consider and act on approving a flooddamage
prevention ordinance.
This plan is already in effect but has been
updated by the state with many changes.
This makes for a higher building standard.
We have to have this for flood insurance to
be made available. Also, many lenders are
requiring flood insurance before they will
approve home loans.
Giger made a motion to accept the upgraded
flood-damage prevention ordinance.
Marshall Crawford seconded it. The vote
was unanimous.
4. Jim Moffeit to update council on the Energy
Efficiency and Conservation Block
Grant (State Energy Conservation Office,
or SECO).
Moffeit reported this is stimulus money and
is a grant that does not require any matching
funds on the city’s part.
The requirement is that it must increase the
energy efficiency of the city.
The product must be Energy Star approved,
and about $23,350 is available for the project.

After considering several projects, the city
is considering a new spray-on energy- effi
cient roof for City Hall and the Chandler
Community Center.
This would cost between $22,000 and
$24,000, and the projected savings are
about $3,600 a year.
G. Consent Agenda: Ann Hall made a motion
to approve. Don Daniell seconded.
Vote was unanimous.
a. Minutes as written for regular council
meeting on Dec. 8, 2009
b. Minutes as written for special council
meeting on Dec. 22, 2009

H. Adjournment
I want to invite all of you to attend your
council meetings and see your government
at work.

of every month, at 7 p.m., at City Hall.
Looking forward to seeing you there.
Gene Giger
