Chuck Goodling and Emily Hackett from Dubois & King Engineers attended this evening's meeting to discuss the progress of the WWTF Expansion Feasibility Study. Chuck distributed an agenda outlining all the topics of discussion. Chuck informed the board that flow-gauging took place on 2 separate evenings between the hours of midnight and 5:00AM. Bill informed Chuck that the data for the 2nd night is skewed because Chuck did not ask Randy to shut down the pump station. Bill stated that the board must have valid data and that this study can not be based on assumptions. The board would like Chuck to notify Erin before anything else is to be done so the board is aware. Bill asked Chuck for a breakdown of what tasks have been completed and what tasks still need to be done; Bill also asked for a breakdown of costs already invoiced and what percent of the budgeted amount is remaining. Chuck informed the board that Dubois & King is working within the budget.
