MAY 11, 1982 TUESDAY _. 2. Once the interim improvements are in operation, the City should develop a detailed process monitoring program. The program would monitor the concentration of BOD and SS throughout the plant and the efficiency of the various treatment units. This would enable the City to determine accurately how well the treatment units are operating and would also serve as a valuable aid in the operation of the plant. 3. Using the data obtained from the process monitoring program, monitor the effectiveness of the interim improvements and the operation of the plant for a 6-to-12 month period prior to com- mitment for any improvements. -- 4. Prior to the City committing itself for any improvements beyond those necessary to treat 8 mgd, the City should determine if it is more cost effective to expand the plant to 9 mgd than it is to divert the Jones Creek flow to the PSA's Upper Smith River Plant and, thereby, share in the cost of the PSA's plant expansion. 5. The City should request that the HCPSA submit a preliminary engineering report to the State Health Department for review regarding the PSA's proposed expansion of its Upper Smith River Plant so that the City can determine with more certainty the cost effectiveness of sharing in the PSA's proposed expansion. Following review by the City, we (Wiley & Wilson) will submit the supplemental report to the State Health Department and (to) the State Water Control Board to serve as the preliminary engineering report for the proposed expansion. In keeping with its policy (reiterated July 14, 1981) of publicizing, in advance, impending expirations of terms of members of local boards and commissions and re- - ceiving (on an individual basis) from citizens the names of citizens for Council's consideration in appointing and/or reappointing members to these boards and commissions, Council made public a listing of current members of such boards and commissions whose terms will expire on June 30, 1982. Noting that the terms of all members of the City Planning Commission will expire on June 30th, Mayor Greene asked that consideration be given by Council at its forthcoming May 25th meeting to providing for a "staggering" of said terms.
