APPROVAL OF MINUTES A motion by Councilman Newton seconded by Councilman Laughridge carried unanimously (9-0) to approve the minutes of August 13, 2018 meeting as presented. REQUEST SECOND READING OF ORDINANCE TO REZONE AND EDGEWOOD AVENUE FROM R-5 SINGLE FAMILY TO RM-18 MULTI-FAMILY City Manager, Linda McConnell said the applicant proposes to rezone the existing multi-family dwellings to RM-18, Multi-Family Residential in order to bring them into zoning compliance. According to the applicant, this is needed for lending purposes from the bank. When the multifamily dwellings were constructed years ago, the property was zoned for multi-family uses, but the area was changed to R-5, Single-Family Residential in 1998 when the Zoning Ordinance went through a major revision. Therefore, the multi-family dwellings are currently non-conforming uses. The City Council approved this request on first reading at the August 13 th meeting and the Planning Commission also recommended approval. A motion by Councilman Laughridge seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Thompson carried unanimously (9-0) to approve of Ordinance to rezone and Edgewood Avenue from R-5 Single-Family to RM-18 Multi-Family on Second Reading.

Executive Summary: Background: In June 2014, the City began to develop several CMOM programs with the goal to eliminate all discharges of untreated wastewater known as Sanitary Sewer Overflows. One of the programs involves assessing the sewer system using various techniques. The goal of this program is to assess 10% of the system each year. On average, this equates to 27 miles of sewer line and over 600 manholes each year. Plans include CCTV assessment of approximately 13.5 miles of gravity sewer and 550 manholes as well as zoom camera assessment of approximately 5 miles of gravity sewer. The assessment data is used to prioritize future capital projects under the Infrastructure Rehabilitation Program. The City received bids on August 7, 2018 with interest from 4 bidders. A summary of the bids are as follows: Bidder Amount Location Pipetek Infrastructure Services, LLC $247, Taylor, MI Hydrostructures, P.A. $281, Pittsboro, NC VacVision Environmental, LLC $325, Greenville, SC Compliance Envirosystems, LLC $357, Atlanta, GA Our wastewater department crews will perform the balance of the required 10% assessment using CCTV, SLRAT, and smoke testing techniques. Benefit: Moving forward with this project will allow the City to meet the goals of the CMOM programs. Funding: The Continuing Sewer Assessment Program is funded in the FY19 Sewer Lines budget. Recommendation: Approve this assessment contract with Pipetek Infrastructure Services, LLC in the amount of $247, Action Requested: _X General Approval
