All right, the time is now five o'clock. I'd like to call today's Utilities Service Board meeting
 into order.
 All right, I would like to begin with our mission statement. The City of Bloomington utilities
 mission.
 Good.
 City of Bloomington utilities mission is to enhance the quality of life in our community by
 providing safe, sustainable and high quality drinking water wastewater and stormwater services in a
 cost effective manner promoting public health, economic vitality and environmental stewardship.
 If any board member has a personal or financial conflict with any issues or individuals on the
 agenda then please be sure to recuse yourself during those portions of the meeting.
 And first on our agenda is petitions and communications are there any petitions and communications
 from the public.
 We have a motion to approve the minutes of the.
 We have a motion and a second all in favor.
 I minutes for the March 24th meeting are approved. Moving along to the approval of the claims we
 have a set of standard utility claims with a pay date of March 28th.
 For a total amount of $2,543,194 and 72 cents. Are there any questions on the claims of March 28th.
 Yeah, so these are revised I noticed so I guess we need to figure out where the revision.
 $1,535 and some change. They're not going to give us a credit so we have to wait until we have
 another Macalester invoice for them to apply that to. So we were advised to resubmit the claims for
 approval.
 Based on that change.
 Yeah, sure. So, in the last meeting we had this was the claims list for the last board meeting on
 that list was a credit from Macalester Macalester doesn't want to give us a credit, so we're gonna
 have to wait until we use them again to have them apply that
 credit to the next invoice.
 But if they're not giving us an item not I'm not following okay not giving us a credit. And okay,
 right. Okay. Okay, thank you. Sorry.
 We can say that we do it on business with Macalester.
 It'll get used. Mr. Chairman.
 Yeah, I have a couple of questions. The very first item talks about a street sweeping charge for
 setting the roots.
 I believe that in the past I mentioned that I would like to see the roots and what they are just
 okay, I can get an idea so I don't know how you can best communicate that to us but I would like to
 see the proposed roads.
 Just so I can see if it makes a lot of sense noted. Yeah. The other thing and I know I should know
 this, but I guess I forget on the interdepartmental sharing.
 It looks like about 90% of it goes to wastewater and a little bit to water. Why is that.
 Um, so for that year we're paid we paid all of wastewater on that claims list, but we only paid one
 quarter of the water, we're going to pay water and okay yeah you explained that before.
 And now I remember. Thank you.
 Any other questions on the two charges for Indiana University.
 April 2024 the other was from October 2024 the sun page for the amounts were dramatically different
 so I was just wondering why that is, maybe someone asked that question last.
 I don't think anybody asked that but I am not aware of what the difference is but I can get back to
 you on that.
 If you could let us know at the next meeting, that's fine. And on that note, then, would there, is
 there one for this April that will be participating again, like every six months or something.
 I'd have to check with your team I'm not sure.
 You know, I don't think so because I think we no longer have this contract.
 Yeah.
 One other question on the Rico bottom of page six and top of page seven. There's three charges. And
 there's also a set of charges for this next month.
 And all of them except the very first one are charged to both water and wastewater but this one was
 just water, and it was for admin so that I rose a flag for me I just wanted to ask you to check on
 that.
 Thanks.
 Any other questions. I just need to make the note even though this, we approved all that except for
 the revision that I'm using myself from the two Indiana University charges on page four of the ledger.
 Okay. Any other questions or comments.
 Motion for approval. We approve the revised claim list for March 28 of 25.
 All in favor.
 The claims for March 28 are approved. Moving on to the paid date of April 11 for a total amount of
 $712,356 and one cent. Are there any questions or comments on the April 11 claims.
 On page two with city glass of Bloomington. It looks like it's two different invoices but for the
 same amount with the repair of the front door here at the service center.
 And I just wondered if that wasn't a guess if it's a different invoice.
 Was it two different doors, or.
 Thank you.
 Yeah, that would be what that stands for. Good.
 Two different invoice numbers but yeah.
 What happened to the front door.
 It looks like we got ironically charged the same one for two different service calls. One was for
 just a ride on the panic bar of the aluminum door and adjust lock on front aluminum door.
 So different doors. Yeah. Okay, thank you.
 One more question on the curry Otto center of our vehicle repairs for unit 546 $14,003 and 23 cents
 I just wondered what what happened to that vehicle.
 Okay. And is that something that insurance will cover on whoever rear ended at the vehicle. Thank
 you.
 All right, any other questions.
 Do we have a motion for approval.
 We approve the approval of the claims for April 11 2025.
 I standard claims for the pay date of April 11 are is approved, moving on to utility claims for a
 total amount of $35,367 and 32 cents. Are there any questions or comments on the utilities claims.
 Hearing none do we have a motion for approval of approval of the utility claims list.
 And all in favor.
 Utility bills are approved.
 Next we have wire transfers for a total amount of $618,695 and eight cents. Are there any questions
 or comments on the wire transfers.
 I'll just comment on the credit card fees it's great to see they're dramatically lower. So I guess
 we're phasing our way out.
 Okay. Great. Thank you.
 Any other questions or comments.
 Do we have a motion for approval.
 All in favor. All right, wire transfers are approved. And finally, we have customer refunds for a
 total amount of $4,569 and 93 cents. Are there any questions or comments on the customer refunds.
 Yeah, I was just wondering about the week adjustment.
 That must have been something that fits within our guidelines.
 Anybody know the specifics on that call the specifics of it. No, I don't.
 Okay.
 That's a $2,000.
 Any other questions or comments.
 Yeah, I mean, I'd be interested in hearing more about that as well. It's odd that it's around even
 amount typically would be, you know, the adjustment would be for water that was found to not pass
 into the sewer.
 And given that it's an around amount. I don't understand it either. The amount was more than that.
 And they left the remainder on their account to use for future water bills but they wanted $2,000
 even to get refunded.
 Okay, I see. Thank you.
 Any other questions or comments.
 Are approved. Thank you, everyone. Moving along to item number five, we have the consent agenda for
 a total amount of $62,831 and 68 cents.
 This is a director for finance, I'm going to present the consent agenda this evening, totaling $62,831
 and 68 cents. That consists of the following agreements. We have one for brea corporation for $2,690
 and 92 cents to work on the main air compressor at our Monroe plant.

 Any board member like to pull any of these items from the consent agenda and discuss them
 individually.
 Can we ask questions about the Dillman North lagoon sediment sampling?
 I think we can take it out on its own then.
 Yep.
 Great. Yeah, so we can address that one separately.
 Thank you.
 Yep.
 Which one was that again?
 The set environmentally.
 Okay.
 Sorry, Enviro Dynamics LLC.
 The Dillman North lagoon sediment?
 Yes.
 Other than the Dillman Road settlement.
 If there's no objection then the rest of the consent agenda will be approved as presented.
 Hearing none, the consent agenda is approved as presented.
 I think we got to move this to the agenda, I think.
 Okay.
 Can we proceed with that now?
 Yeah.
 Okay.
 The Enviro Dynamics LLC, Dillman North Lagoon Sediment Sampling.
 Are there any questions or comments on that?
 Thank you.
 Yes.
 Any questions interested in the purpose of the sampling there?
 I'm Kelsey Vittoni, Assistant Director for Environmental.
 So the sampling for the sediment at the bottom of the North Lagoon is to prepare for how we're
 going to dispose of the material.
 We want to find out exactly what is in there since it's been many years since we've fully cleaned
 it out.
 So this company has a specific machine that can basically do a sideways core sample.
 We'll send basically something down there that can catch a core sample, pull it back out.
 We'll do several around the pond to get a representative sample.
 And this pond at one time was contaminated with PCBs, is that correct?
 I am unsure if that is currently an issue, but I know that it was cleaned out about 10 years ago.
 So I don't anticipate finding those types of issues, but we'll sample for everything.
 My understanding is those facilities were remediated to EPA's and Bloomington's satisfaction and
 the state's satisfaction.
 But I was just curious about the purpose.
 So before filling them, we wanted to know what is there, is that correct?
 Before we remove material from the lagoon, it's currently just storage.
 So we want to know exactly what is anything that could cause an issue for disposal.
 We need to be able to know what's in it. So testing for various pollutants.
 Okay. So how deep is the sediment? Do we know?
 We don't know exactly, but we've made estimates based on the size of the pond.
 It's about, I don't know, several feet deep. I don't have the exact numbers on the top of my head.
 But we did make some estimates on the size and depth, so total volume of material in there.
 And what we find will, of course, dictate the cost of removal.
 Yes.
 Okay, thank you.
 You're welcome.
 Any other questions or comments about the EnviroDynamics OLC?
 Do we have a motion to approve?
 Yeah, I move we approve the EnviroDynamics OLC contract for $2,182.
 All in favor?
 Aye.
 All right, motion is approved.
 Next we have a request of approval of lease agreement between the City of Bloomington Utilities and
 Hoosier Networks OLC for office and parking space at Blucher Pool. Matt.
 So this is a similar agreement that we had with AEG for doing the fiber optics project.
 AEG used some extra space at Blucher Pool that we had to, what I call staging area, where they
 stored all their conduit and their equipment, things like that.
 Since AEG is no longer doing this work, we're just doing the same process with Hoosier Networks. So
 they'll be storing things at Blucher Pool.
 Any questions?
 We have a motion to approve.
 This might not be handy information for you. I didn't have a chance to look it up.
 When we had the space leased to AEG, was this the similar lease price for them?
 I see that this could be extended month to month. So do they anticipate being done in three months
 or, well, I know it says either party can, until either party says no more, but I guess, and also
 then in three months, can we get an update if they're still there or vacating?
 Oh yeah, we can get an update. I would assume it's going to take more than three months, but I don't
 know that for a fact. And the price is a little higher than what AEG was paying us.
 I was thinking that was a little bit, but I mean, I think that at the time, we, or at least a few
 of us thought that that was a steal for this space.
 Any other questions or comments?
 We have a motion to approve.
 We approve the lease agreement between City of Bloomington Utilities and Hoosier Networks.
 All in favor?
 Aye.
 Motion is approved.
 Item number seven, first amendment to the second addendum to license for use of city property. Matt.
 So this goes back to the agreement that we have with FIRE for the building they want to construct
 out of Winston Thomas.
 Adding language in the agreement to document that they are responsible for the stormwater
 infrastructure on the site.
 Any questions or comments?
 I move we approve the second addendum, first amendment to the second addendum to our license
 agreement with first for the use of city property with the fire department.
 All in favor?
 Motion is approved.
 Moving on to item number eight, request approval of resolution 2025-05 to designate surplus
 property as worthless. Matt.
 I'm sorry for a long time hasn't been used in several years. It was when we were still using
 chlorine at the facility ever since they switched to the ultraviolet rays.
 We haven't been using this equipment so they're just wanting to get rid of it.
 Any questions.
 Motion of approval. I move approval of resolution 2025-05. All in favor.
 Motion is approved. Next we have request approval for agreement for services with SET Environmental
 Inc. for sodium hydroxide cleanup at Monroe Water Treatment Plant. Isabelle.
 I'm Hazardous Materials Coordinator and I'm here to present a contract between with SET
 Environmental to clean up the caustic soda tanks at Monroe Water Treatment Plant for a total of $92,183.56.
 Do you have any questions.
 Any questions from the board.
 I move the motion to approve and move we approve the agreement for services with SET Environmental
 and Corporate.
 All in favor.
 I motion is approved. Thank you. Thank you.
 Hold on, hold on.
 Next we have request approval for agreement for services with SET Environmental for hydrofluorosilic
 somebody can help me with that acid tank and room clean out at Monroe Water Treatment Plant.
 Isabel hazardous materials coordinator. Again, this is a contract with set environmental for a
 total of 35,996 with 31 cents. This is to clean up the inside of the florosilic tank the outside of
 the room, and the outside the hallway of the chemical building at Monroe Water Treatment Plant.
 Do you have any questions on this item.
 Any questions from the board.
 We have a motion to approve move we approve this agreement for services with set SET environmental
 for the acid tank and room cleanup clean out.
 All in favor.
 Aye.
 Motion is approved. Thank you. Thank you.
 I'd like the record to show that nobody else tried to pronounce that word either.
 You did well for a little bit.
 Item 11 request approval of resolution to 025 dash 06 for bid acceptance and contract award for
 pigeon Hill neighborhood sewer lining project to in in. Yeah, I'm having a tough time today
 technologies us a LLC Kaden.
 Good evening everybody Kaden Swanson engineering. I'm here to forbid acceptance and contract award
 for the pigeon Hill neighborhood sewer lining project to institute form, we open bids on March 24.
 We received four of them and the lowest responsive and responsible bitter was in situ form of $823,138
 and 47 cents. I am happy to answer any questions.
 Yeah, can you remind us how long this is and what we're, what we're lining is fold clay or is. Yeah,
 right. It's all old clay it's the pigeon Hill neighborhood, and a few other, excuse me other
 neighborhoods in that area.
 So, kind of on the west side of town.
 What's the distance you know approximately. I, I'm just trying to get an idea. I believe it was
 actually give me one second we did the vids but
 that sounds right we have three miles about 18,000 feet of eight inch and about 800 feet of 10 inch
 pipe are we going to be aligned.
 So we think this will help out with infiltration. We know there's an infiltration problem up in
 that area of town. Yeah, there's an active SSO to the south of this neighborhood, that this all
 kind of drains through.
 So we're hoping to reduce some of the I ni and knock out that SSO.
 Okay.
 Great. Thank you. Thank you.
 Any other questions.
 We're doing this will there be street closures.
 And if so, do you know where, where those would be around, there will be some minor disturbances to
 traffic, these will all be worked through with MOTS that will be submitted to engineering and kept
 on file.
 So lining is a non invasive form of rehab. So it's trenchless. The only work that would be done
 they'll close off like half of a lane around a manhole and set up a truck. So a similar disturbance
 of what we have for like our televising trucks for example
 if you see those around town.
 You know Caden we've been doing these linings for 20 or 30 years now do we have any idea how well
 they're holding up.
 Yeah, we routinely check out the inspection so every five years, we televise everything, at least
 that's the idea is everything in our system.
 And if there's ever any issues with the lining, then we make repairs accordingly but generally we
 don't see many issues we expect to get 60 to 80 years out of a liner. Great. That's generally what
 we've seen.
 Okay.
 Thanks.
 Motion of approval.
 I move we approve the contract with in situ formats presented.
 All right. Motion is approved. Thank you everybody.
 Moving along to old business, any old business from the board.
 All business from staff.
 New business new business from the board.
 I had one question that I missed on item number six. I'm sorry.
 With the monthly lease money that will receive from Hoosier networks.
 I'm sure it'll be spent in the same way that it was with a G, but I don't remember what that was.
 So can you please remind us.
 Our wastewater cash account to use for other things.
 Any other new business from the board.
 New business from staff.
 We didn't have any subcommittees.
 This week.
 Moving along to staff reports.
 People that we would like to recognize with all the rain and all the storms over the past week or
 few days anyway.
 Over the weekend, the T&D and the operations crews worked 148 hours of overtime. So we'd like to
 recognize a few folks for their contribution during the storm.
 AJ Frye and Steve Robertson, Austin Bennington, Brian Elkins, David Brown, John Deckard, Noah
 Campbell, Joseph Gibson, Tanner Carter, and Zach Bernworth.
 Thank you for all your work this past weekend.
 Also, Alan Christie earned their CDL since the last meeting, and Carson Swafford passed the
 certified pretreatment coordinator exam.
 Congratulations.
 I would like to take this time to further thank all the crews and just everybody in the utility
 service department that I took a couple laps this weekend I went
 down Indiana.
 On Saturday, I want to say, and I was able to get through.
 There was times when we had rain like this that we were stuck and we've had some unfortunate
 incidents.
 I live on the south side where near the warehouse where obviously that has flooded so the work that
 we have done is showing the, the, the staff and the leadership that we have or has moved us in a
 great direction so thank you all.
 I just hope that the city knows that all the hard work and all the, the detours and road closings
 and stuff.
 We're seeing the results of that now so thank you all.
 There is my two cents.
 What we have next.
 Any other petitions and communications motion to adjourn.
 Committee has adjourned. Thank you all.
