The meeting was called to order by Mayor Pool at 7:00 p.m. with the following Council Members in attendance: Council Member Norquist, Council Member Cole, Council Member Turville, and Council Member Ivey. Also present were City Manager Saunders, Finance Director Van Zile, City Engineer Springstead and Public Services Director Davis. Lead and Copper Report Public Service Director Davis and City Engineer Springstead gave the Council an update on the lead and copper report. The Council asked that an estimate be developed for possible treatment of our water which is considered to be somewhat aggressive or hard. Mr. Davis then also updated the Council on other contaminant testing and indicated that chloride and thallium were discovered in quantities exceeding the adopted contaminant levels. However, it was explained that because of the method of testing the chloride is from the chlorination that is used in our system and testing this year must be done after the chlorination has been added to the system and should not pose a problem. The thallium which was at a low level is being investigated as to cause or other concerns and has been reported to DER. Greater Hills Water System City Manager Saunders updated the Council Members on the Greater Hills water system discussions and the Council directed him to continue negotiations with Greater Hills based on the information that had been compiled by staff and City Engineer Springstead's office. ZOM Development City Manager Saunders updated the City Council on the ZOM Development agreement for water services.
