Council, stated the Organization strongly advocates approval of the Michigan Avenue Streetscape
Enhancement Grant. Ms. Yorko explained that similar projects have been very successful in

B. Resolution in Support of Michigan Avenue Bioretention Facilities
Mr. Gamble provided a brief Power Point presentation of the project. A discussion among Board
members ensued. Mr. Surgener asked which city department would be responsible for
maintaining the rain garden/retention area. Mr. Surgener pointed out that area merchants are
losing business due to construction activities and expressed concern that there have been two full
years of disruption in front of these businesses. Mr. Gamble stated the biggest concern expressed
by area merchants is that vehicular and pedestrian traffic be maintained in front of the businesses
while construction is underway. Access and traffic movement will be maintained throughout the
installation construction. Mr. Gamble noted that Operations and Maintenance (O&M) crews
along with various community volunteers will be maintaining the rain garden area. Ms.Rodgers
expressed concern that permitting volunteers to do maintenance work may cause a labor dispute
to arise since labor may perceive volunteers as performing union work. Ms. Rodgers felt that it is
critical the maintenance piece be worked out now rather than be faced with a problem at the time
the work is needed to be done.
Ms. Rodgers moved,Mr.Copedge seconded,
to support the Board of Public Service Resolution whereby the City of Lansing receive the
Michigan Department of Transportation Enhancement and Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality—Clean Michigan Initiative grants for the purposes of funding of
environmental and aesthetic improvements to the Michigan Avenue corridor; and encourages
Lansing City Council and the Administration to support the construction of the Michigan Avenue
Enhancement Project.

Ms.Rodgers moved, Ms. Schmidt seconded,
to revise Board of Public Service Administrative Procedures whereby elections of officers and
Board Secretary would occur at its first meeting following July I".
Discussion: Ms. Rodgers explained that moving the election date behind one month would
prevent the need to table elections due to delayed term appointments. Mr. Surgener stated he did
not believe the change was necessary.

6) DIRECTOR'S REPORT—Mr. Gamble reported the following information:
•US-127 Sound Wall—The entire $500,000 was borrowed through SIB loans. No assessments
are planned.
-Administrative Consent Order(ACO)—The Public Service Department is working with MDEQ
on a soil erosion site located on the first tee at the Sycamore Golf Course. In 2004, the Parks
Department disrupted an area moving materials. This caused soil erosion into the backwaters of
Sycamore Creek. MDEQ is concerned about frozen ground in the spring. The Public Service
Department is the appropriate agency to assure proper soil erosion procedures are followed
however, the Parks Department never notified Public Service Department regarding the soil
erosion problem. The Public Service Department is currently working with the Parks Department
to correct the problem. Through the ACO order with MDEQ,the City is being charged$42,000
in administrative fees and civil fines. The Parks Department has agreed to pay the administrative
fines and is trying to have the violation removed from the ACO. Landscape and Architecture
Planners(LAP),who did the work for the Parks Department, did not have a NPDES Permit and
should have. Ms. Rodgers expressed concern that this is the second instance in which the City
has been fined because City Departments failed to communicate with one another. Mr. Gamble
explained that MDEQ is working with the Parks Department to develop a soil erosion checklist
for the golf course.
•CSO Project Evaluation—The Public Service Department is currently in the process of selecting
the next consultant to prepare the technical evaluation list for the 1997-98 Report. Mr. Gamble
explained that the Department is seeking input from the Board of Public Service in developing
RFP to be issued in mid-May of 2007. Mr. Gamble stated he would like Board member's
comments to be incorporated into the RFP. Mr. Gamble asked Board members to submit
comments via email to Faith Rach within the next six months. The RFP will be issued to national
firms. The intent of the RFP is to do an evaluation of the CSO program. There will be an in-
house RFP for the Design of Phase V. Then an RFP will be issued for a consultant for Phase V.
-Grand River Bridge Deck—Mr. Gamble provided a virtual tour of deck construction activities
and described various state-of-the-art techniques employed to build the deck. Festivities are
planned for the bridge re-opening.
7) PENDING ITEMS-None
8) OTHER BUSINESS
Ms.Rodgers asked if there are policies and procedures in place to assure women and minority
based businesses have the opportunity to bid on city projects. Mr. Gamble explained the City of
Lansing does take extra steps to make sure they are engaged.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Background
Since the late 1970s, the City of Lansing has spent over$200
million in its separate and combined sewer areas to improve
sewer system performance and eliminate sanitary and
combined sewer overflows (SSOs and CSOs) to the Grand
and Red Cedar Rivers.
The City's efforts to date include the following:
• Elimination of dry weather sanitary sewer and combined
sewer overflows
• Sewer system improvements and CSO sewer separation
resulting in abandonment of 84 of 110 separate and Downtown Lansing
combined sewer overflows and separation of over 7,000
acres of combined sewer area since 1970
• Since 1991,CSO sewer separation has also achieved.
- Separation of almost 3,200 of 6,500 acres of combined,sewer area remaining since 1991
- Construction of over 34 miles of new sanitary sewer in CSO areas
- 35°I0 reduction in volume of untreated combined sewer overflow (572 million gallons of
1.65 billion gallons annually)
.• Disconnection of 432 catch basins from sanitary sewers in separate sewer system areas
• Significant reduction in basement flooding caused by sewer system surcharges
• An extended useful life,increased reliability and safety,and reduced operating costs for the
sanitary sewage collection,transportation and treatment system
In spite of the improvements to date,portions of the system continue to experience wet weather
flow problems, including basement flooding and SSOs during moderate to heavy rainfalls,
particularly during springtime saturated soil conditions, Since June 1996,the City has observed
and reported almost 50 SSO occurrences due to excessive wet weather flows as detailed in Table
1-1 and Figure 5-1. Based on analysis and sewer system improvements completed to date,
Lansing's wet weather SSOs are believed to be caused primarily by footing drains and private
property inflow sources remaining connected to the sanitary sewer system at homes and
businesses throughout Lansing.
New MDEQ Initiative
In May 2000, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) announced a new
initiative to"Identify and eliminate SSOs throughout the State." As a result, the City of Lansing
entered into an Administrative Consent Order(ACO)with MDEQ. See Exhibit 1 for a copy of
the ACO. This agreement, executed on January 9, 2004, governs the schedule and long-term
compliance with State SSO policy. The City's goal is to use the current Lansing Sanitary Sewer
System Master Plan Study findings and recommendations to develop an approvable project
plan to mitigate SSOs in a reasonable period that the City of Lansing taxpayers can afford. The
City will apply for State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan monies for its long-term SSO Control
Program. Toward that end, the City is planning to submit an approvable SSO Control Project

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Plan to MDEQ before July 2007. Per the ACO, the Long-term SSO Control.Plan is due to MDEQ
by December 31,2008.
Project Overview
In 2003, the City of Lansing began a Sanitary Sewer System Master Plan Study with Tetra Tech
as its engineering consultant. .As a part of Task I - Determine Condition and Performance of
Existing Sanitary Sewage Transportation System, Tetra Tech conducted sanitary system flow
monitoring throughout the sanitary server service area from February to June of 2004.
This report describes the existing dry and wet weather sanitary sewer system flows and
provides an assessment of the condition of the major interceptors as noted during manhole
entry spot-checks. The primary objective of this report is to identify portions of the sewage
system that may require additional SSO control measures. Performance of the Wastewater
Treatment Plant (WWTP) will be included in the upcoming modeling and SSO control
alternatives report.
Further evaluation of sanitary sewage system performance and analysis of SSO control
alternatives will be completed using XP-SWMM® software to model flow and hydraulic grade
line conditions throughout the Lansing system in response to measured and design rainfall
events. Flows from this monitoring study are being used as input to, and for calibration of the
model.
Subsequent Master Plan tasks including Modeling,SSO Control Alternatives, and Information
Management will be reported in separate documents.
Existing System
The City of Lansing sanitary service area of approximately 24,800 acres includes separate and
combined sewer system areas of approximately 21,500 and 3,300 acres, respectively, as of the
date of this report. Figures 2-1 and 2-3 show the major sanitary facilities and combined and
separate sewer system areas,respectively.
The Lansing WWTP is the second largest tertiary treatment plant in Michigan, and was
reconstructed and enlarged in the mid 1980s. Its peak hydraulic capacity is 93 million gallons
per day (mgd) through primary treatment, with a sustained capacity through secondary
treatment of 49 mgd. Total retention basin volume available at the WWTP is 1.3 million gallons
(mg). Harton Street equalization basin provides an additional 5.2 mg volume to store excessive
wet weather flows originating in the Red Cedar area(SSES Area F).
v^ All sanitary sewage in Lansing is pumped at least once to reach the VVWTP. The Lansing
system includes 28 sewage pump stations with capacities ranging from 0.05 to 67 mgd.
The sanitary interceptor system includes 12 river crossings beneath the Grand and Red Cedar
Rivers, of which 10 are inverted siphons. There are also three smaller inverted siphons which
convey flows beneath storm drains.

Flow Monitoring Report
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Physical Condition Assessment
In November and December 1999 and June and July 2004, Tetra Tech field crews inspected
manholes along Lansing's major sanitary interceptor sewers. The purpose of the manhole
entries was to provide a visual spot check of mard-tole and interceptor structural integrity and
hydraulic conditions,such as solids deposition or other obstructions to flow.
Most of the smaller collector, trunk and interceptor sewers up to approximately 30 inches in
diameter appear to be in fair to good condition,with light to moderate deposition. The Central
Interceptor and Sycamore Lindbergh Interceptor between Kalamazoo Street and Poxson Park
appear to be in fair to poor condition,with the-worst conditions generally between Kalamazoo
Street and Siphon No. 11 at the Red Cedar River. At a few locations,most of the internal rebar
has been corroded away. The City is currently reviewing the spot check results to plan further
inspection and rehabilitation action. See Figure 2-1 for major interceptor locations.
Flow Monitoring Program
For this project, 32 temporary ISCO 2150 depth-velocity flow meters and four temporary
recording rain gauges were installed throughout the sanitary service area, in addition to the
City's five permanent rain gauges, and monitored during the:.metering period of February 2004
to June 2004. Permanent pump station flow meters, historical flow meters, rain gauges, and
river level gauges were also used for analysis, WWTP and pump station flow data was
recorded and collected via the City's Supervisory Control and Data Acquisitions (SCADA)
system, Flows from current combined sewer areas were not measured for this project, as this
data would not represent the post-separation flow rates that are of interest for this analysis. See
Figure 4-1 for locations of the flow monitoring equipment.
Flow Characterization Resdits
The data collected from the temporary meters as well as the permanent pump station meters
were analyzed. The analysis looked at the flow response to five storm events and ranked the
flow meter and pump station tributary areas based on three flow parameters. Section 5
provides a discussion of these results. Tables 5-7 and 5-8 provide a tabular summary of the
results and rankings. Figures 5-5 through 5-8 show comparisons of the areas for an overall wet
weather ranking, % rainfall capture, peak hour Rainfall Dependent Inflow and Infiltration
(RDII) flow, and groundwater infiltration, respectively. The following flow meter and pump
station areas were found to produce the highest wet weather responses: (listed from highest to

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
—51tecornmendations
This section provides recommendations for short-term implementation to help maintain
interceptor structural integrity and to continue short-term SSO control measures. Final
recommendations will be provided in the Modeling and SSO Control Alternatives Analysis
report.
Interceptor Assessment and Rehabilitation
• Examine the interceptor condition results with respect to loading / cover conditions to
isolate areas of highest concern for further inspection.
• Discuss preliminary findings and structural assessment techniques with concrete pipe
experts. Implement special inspections / testing at key locations as may be
recommended.
• Select and implement interim repairs to stabilize any .locations of immediate concern
based on above steps.
• Complete the modeling and alternatives analysis to recommend long-term SSO control
measures. Include final recommendations for rehabilitation / replacement of
interceptor reaches in poor condition.
• Conduct more extensive condition / preliminary design inspections of reaches selected
for rehabilitation.
• Implement rehabilitation and replacement recommendations as indicated by structural
conditions and design flow rates.
• Continue interim condition assessments at key locations as needed to minimize the risk
of catastrophic failure.
• Develop a system-wide assessment / rehabilitation program to continually assess and
renew the structural integrity of the entire sanitary and storm sewer system.
Short-term SSO Control
Remove Inflow and Maintain Capacity
The two most direct and cast-effective approaches to controlling SSOs are to identify and
disconnect direct inflow sources from the sanitary sewer system and to maintain the system free
of obstruction and operating at design capacity. Disconnection of direct inflow sources is
almost always cost-effective, regardless of the future long-term SSO control approach selected.
In some cases, enforcement may be required to achieve satisfactory results, so the City should
finalize an acceptable enforcement program as soon as practical. As areas are cleared of
remaining inflow, updated spring time flow monitoring and model updating should be
considered prior to design of any long-term SSO control measures.
The City is installing plastic manhole cover inflow shields in all sanitary sewer manholes. This
should continue in known SSO areas first,and then throughout the entire sanitary system. This
should ultimately include completed CSO and TRPS areas as well.
Pump stations, inverted siphons and slow-flowing sewers and other system components prone
to capacity degradation should be checked and maintained periodically as indicated by
inspection to maintain design capacity. Pump station draw-fill testing should be done

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
periodically to confirm design capacity. This can typically be done using SCADA information
for smaller ptu-np stations with no reliable flow meter. Stations with reduced capacity should
be scheduled for appropriate maintenance.
Help far Recurrent Basement Flooding
The City should also consider developing a voluntary program to help property owners who
experience flooding regularly. This would likely include redirection of footing drain flows via
sump pump installation and other associated plumbing modifications to address the flood
water sottrce(s), e.g. floor drains and other basement sanitary fixtures. This may involve a
special City ordinance authorizing expenditure of public funds on private property.
SSES Study Area-Specific Interim Recommendations
Area A-Tecumseh River Pump Station(TRPS)Area
* Continue collecting and reviewing data from TRPS to assess impact of recent sewer
system improvements on wet weather flows.
* Continue efforts to remove known inflow sources and pumped footing drain flows
identified during the TRPS area study.
* Address leaking bulkhead to River at Tecumseh 18 manhole.
Area B-Separated CSO Area 013 and Chilson 12 and MLK 15 Areas
• Continue to check actual flow rates and design flow projections as more separated areas
become tributary to the new 013 sanitary sewer system. Update the SWWM model to
include future sanitary sewers of 12-inch diameter and larger.
• Conduct inflow investigations in the Chilson 12 and MLK 15 tributary areas, including
private property investigations and internal inspection for pumped footing drain-,.
Redirect inflow and pumped footing drain flows away from the sanitary sewer system.
• Continue byp
ass pumping near the Howe siphon as needed to reduce basement
flooding. Consider installation of a float switch to warn O&M staff of surcharging.
Area C-Ravenswood PS and Norwood 15 Areas
• Conduct inflow investigations in these areas, including private property investigations
and internal inspection for pumped footing drains. Redirect inflow and pumped footing
drain flows away from the sanitary sewer system.
• Continue bypass pumping as needed to reduce basement flooding.
Area F-Red Cedar Area
• Conduct inflow investigations in the Tollgate Drain (Hopkins 12), Clippert 21 and
Clemens Avenue Pump Station tributary areas, including private property
investigations and internal inspection for pumped footing drains. Redirect inflow and
pumped footing drain flows away from the sanitary sewer system.
Area H-Frances Park Pump Station Tributary Area
• Conduct inflow investigations in the Glasgow 18, Glenbrook 21 and Sumpter 15
tributary areas, including private property investigations and internal inspection for
pumped footing drains. Redirect inflow and pumped footing drain flows away from the
sanitary sewer system.

Long-Term Monitoring, Performance Checking&Reporting
Long-term monitoring of sanitary sewer flows will bi-, required to track system flow rates s
CSO sewer separation continues and SSO control rneasures are implemented. Long-term
monitoring will also confirm that the required 25-year rainfall design performance has been
achieved in completed CSO and SSO control areas. During an interim period in which CSO and
SSO work is ongoing, flow information will be used to determine interim system performance
and to provide a basis for allowing potential new development flows into the system.
Interim flow monitoring will be included with Project Performance Certification (PPQ studies
conducted after completion of CSO or SSO control projects. Interim flow monitoring will
typically be accomplished using temporary sewer system flow meters, or via SCADA system
data collected at the WVVTP,sanitary sewage pump stations,and other facilities such as Harton
Street Equalization Basin.
If any CSO or SSO control project area fails to provide the required 25-year rainfall
performance, corrective action cti plans would likely be required to address the deficiency.
Corrective action plans may include two rounds of flow monitoring; the first to define the

remaining flow problems,and the second to confirm that any corrective action has achieved the
desired system performance.
A final recommended plan for long-term monitoring will be developed upon selection of SSO
control measures. This plan should be flexible to allow for :modification as sewer system
improvements are achieved and monitoring technology improves.

Copies of the proposed budget were distributed in Board packets. Mr. Flechter asked
Mr. Bergman and the Department Division Heads to present an overview of the
budget. Mr. Bergman noted that the Mayor scheduled several community meetings
where he discussed his goals for the next fiscal year. These goals include a balanced
budget, not raising taxes or using raining day funds to cover costs, and promising not
to make cuts to Police, Fire, or Development. A discussion of the proposed budget
ensued.
-Mr. Bergman stated that the proposed budget would eliminate the majority of vacant
bargaining unit positions.
-Mr. Bergman noted that staff members are in the process of developing a new service
fee schedule for the department. Most service fees charged by the City of Lansing are

much lower than other municipalities of the same size. Ms. Rodgers also noted that
there are services the City should charge for that they currently are not. Ms. Rodgers
explained that one example is street closings for block parties. Ms. Rodgers
mentioned that there was not any information regarding the fee schedule in the budget
packet. Mr. Johnson explained that in developing the fee schedule, the goal was to
assign fees for the actual cost of providing any given service. If fees are not
collected, then a general fund subsidy will need to cover costs associated with
providing the service. Mr. Johnson stated the biggest fee increase would be for the
soil erosion program. Mr. Johnson also noted that some fees would be rolled into
development costs. The current budget was structured to show direct costs associated
with all activities.
•A discussion ensured regarding the Waste Reduction Service section of the proposed
budget. Ms. Rodgers pointed out that many City residents are forced to use private
haulers because the City does not serve them. Any fees charged to private haulers will
be passed onto their customer base.
-Mr. Ross explained how the internal budget models are comprised. There has been a
significant increase in fringe benefits. Mr. Ross continued that the Capital
Improvements budget has increased while the operating budget has decreased. Most
of the Capital Improvements will be paid from a departmental reserve account.
Ms. Rodgers moved, Mr. Bloomberg seconded,
that after a lengthy discussion, to support the Public Service Department Proposed
Budget, in its entirety, as submitted.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

Bemero,Mayor
TO: Board of Public Service z7A
FROM: Bill Bergman, Interim Director of Public Service
DATE: March 17, 2006
SUBJECT: Proposed Budget—Fiscal Year 2007
This year, the budget request is organized a bit differently than in previous years. The majority of
changes affect the Administration and Engineering section of the budget.
In past years, most of the Administration and Engineering staff were shown in the General Fund budget.
Two years after a budget year,the Indirect Cost Distribution Plan reallocated these expenses in
proportion to the effort to support each fund. As a result, the majority of the Administration and
Engineering expenses were returned to General Fund in the form of credits from the other funds, but in a
manner that was not obvious. For FY 2007, the budget shows the Administration and Engineering
expenditure requests directly as they support each fund. This will provide greater clarity.
Another major change is the proposed reduction of 20 positions, most of which are already vacant. We
are not identifying the specific positions at this time for a number of reasons. The department
recommendations may not be accepted by the Mayor. Even if these recommendations are accepted by
the Mayor, any changes will be subject to review and input that the respective union contracts may
require. If a currently occupied position is eliminated, the employee will have bumping rights, per the
contract. There is no point in unduly alarming any employee by designating a position to be lost,when
such a change in a position may never transpire.
The first set of tables summarizes all of the funds and activities of the Department, excluding CIP and
Debt Service. When summarized as a whole, the Department's proposed operating budget has a
decrease of 1.23%for personnel; an increase of 0.19%for supplies and operating expenses; and a
decrease of 9.89%for equipment as compared to the approved budget for F he overall
operating budget, including personnel and equipment costs, is a decrease 0.88% hen comparing the
approved budget for FY 2006 with the proposed budget for FY 2007.
Each of the separate funding areas has information concerning its respective budget. Each funding area
also addresses the City Council funding priorities for FY 2007.
We will be available to answer questions or address issues relative to the proposed budget for Fiscal
Year 2007.

FY07 BUDGET
ADIVIINISTRATION & ENGINEERING DIVISIONS
GENERAL
The FY07 budget was developed based on an internal service fund(ISF)model. In this
format, expenditures or activities are categorized by the funding source that supports
them. The budgeted expenditures are inclusive of all costs associated with the activity.
These include the direct salaries of employees involved, fringe rates, and all other
administrative and operating costs associated with the activity.
Associated revenue streams were established sufficient to support all of the activities.
The activities were grouped into two categories, routine work activity and project
activity. The revenue streams include the following funds: Sewage,ACT51,Refuse,
Recycling, Service Garage, General Fund, and Fees for Service.
This format is similar in nature to the business format of an engineering firm. It allows us
to assign the true costs to each activity so that each activity can be better evaluated on a
costibenefit basis. This format will take more effort to administer but will result in
streamlined efficiencies based on sound business decisions.
max.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
Funding for discretionary capital improvements, especially road improvements,is
significantly less than in previous years. Funding for installation of new sidewalk along
major streets and for repair of existing sidewalk is included in the capital budget.
Sufficient funding is provided to continue our mandated programs such as CSO control,
Storm Water Management, and SSO Control.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
FY 2007 BUDGET REQUEST
PUBLIC SERVICE DEPARTMENT SEWAGE FUND
WASTEWATER DIVISION
The Sewage Fund provides funding for all activities associated with the wastewater collection system and
treatment plant from revenues generated through user charges based on a combination of fixed and
commodity charges. Although the Wastewater Division is the primary user of this funding source in the
Public Service Department, activities in the Engineering and the Operations & Maintenance Divisions
associated with the wastewater system are also funded. Revenue generated through the user charge system
provides all funding for the wastewater system, including debt retirement.
One of the primary goals of the Public Service Department is to operate and maintain the wastewater
collection and treatment systems to assure compliance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System(NPDES)Permit and protect the public health and the environment. The NPDES Permit is issued
under the Clean Water Act and its amendments by the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)through
delegation of authority to the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality(MDEQ). The NPDES Permit
establishes the legal requirements the City must meet for the majority of activities associated with the
Wastewater Treatment Plant and the collection system. Pollutant discharge limitations, sampling and
analysis requirements,monitoring and reporting schedules,the Industrial Pretreatment Program,residuals
management,and the implementation schedule for the CSO(Combined Sewer Overflow)Project Plan and
SSO(Sanitary Sewer Overflow)Plan are the specifics included in the NPDES discharge permit. Problems
and issues that must be addressed include the following:
*** Meet all compliance deadlines identified in Administrative Consent Order
(ACO) with MDEQ regarding SSO corrective action. CIP activities
associated with SSO correction are proposed in FY 07.
*** Minimize excessive Infiltration/Inflow in existing separated areas causing
basement flooding and excessive flows to the Plant under certain
conditions.
*** Address the rising cost of debt retirement on the budget of the Sewage
Fund resulting from the CSO correction program.
*** CMOM(Capacity Management Operation&Maintenance)-pending issuance of
the draft Rule by EPA may have some financial impact in future.
We continue to address automation of labor intensive services in planning and construction activities at the
treatment plant,and we continue to utilize automation wherever possible. We continue to evaluate all work
areas for opportunities to better use personnel and automation. Completion of the SCADA Project has been
vital to the Division's ability to utilize available technology to more efficiently and effectively operate the
treatment system.
The budget summary by work area on the following page details the funding level differences between the
approved FY 2006 budget and the budget request for FY 2007.

OVERALL BUDGET
The requested Fiscal Year 2007 Budget for the Sewage Fund is $34,871,023, an overall increase of
$2,698,554 or+8.4%over the approved FY 2006 Budget. The Operational Budget portion of the budget
decreased by $38,720 or-0.3%,while the Capital Budget increased by $2,617,274 or+14.5%."Note:A total
of$2,275,000 of the cash funded CEP items-the$6,558,600-will be funded by the Capital Contingency Fund(a restrict asset
identified for this specific purpose in the Sewage Fund),bringing the total cash needs for CIP(not including CSO)to$4,283,600
(which is less than FY06 budget).
CSO DISCUSSION
CSO CIP(ineligible) $ 6,980,000 $ 7,990,000 $1,010,000 + 14.4%
CSO CIP(SRF) $ 16,190,000 $ 16,210,000 $ 20,000 + 0.1%
CSO related capital expenditures do not show up in the Capital Budget,but rather appear within the 6-year
CIP plan. Only the debt portion of CSO shows up in the Capital Budget(both as SRF debt and Revenue
Bond debt). The increase in the Capital Budget is the direct result of increasing debt service to pay for the
CSO projects in FY 07(predominantly the SRF"ineligible"portion of CSO). The SRF"eligible"portion
is paid for through a loan with the State of Michigan,whereas the SRF"ineligible"portion of CSO is funded
by the 2003 Revenue Bond issue in the Sewage Fund. There are numerous ways to pay for the"ineligible"
portion of CSO,which have recently included the following: 1)SRF funding through the State of Michigan
revolving loan program,2)Revenue Bond issues,3)a 0.5 mil property tax, 4)various operating transfers,
and 5) cash funding such as spending down the balance in the Sewage Fund. The $7,990,000 requested
expenditure in FY07 is the current estimate of the"ineligible"cost of CSO,which is up by$1,010,000 or
+14.4%. The"ineligible"costs breakdown in FY07 is as follows:$3,150,000 for design engineering for the
next phase&segment,$2,180,000 for sanitary sewer construction,$840,000 for road work,and$1,820,000
is for storm sewer work associated with CSO.

Fiscal Year 2007 Sewage Fund
OPERATIONAL BUDGET:
The following is a comparison of the operational budgets for FY 2005, FY 2006, and FY 2007 by general
expenditure type:
ACTUAL BUDGET BUDGET CHANGE
FY 04-05 FY 05-06 FY 06-07 +(_) +(-1
Personnel $3,444,439 $4,075,051 $3,571,864 (503,187) (12.3%)

Supplies/Expns/Maint. 6,373,932 7,175,733* 7,720,210 +544,477 +7.6%
Total $12,235,986 $14,306,682 $14,267,962 ( 38,720) (0.3%)
The Operational Budget decreased by $38,720 or-0.3%. Over the past seven(7)years,this portion of the
Budget has averaged annual increases of less than 2.0%per year. This budget year includes a very modest
decrease.The modest decrease in the FY07 budget request can be contributed to a number of factors, such
as personnel reductions through the use of cost effective automation like SCADA, numerous process
changes, as well as optimization of current wastewater treatment processes for both energy and chemical
use. It also reflects a continuing effort to control all of the costs which are controllable by the Division(such
as energy consumption, chemical usage, and supply purchases, etc...) Fringe benefit rates(which are not
controllable by the Division)are driving costs up significantly. Staff reductions(such as"unfunding"vacant
positions have assisted in maintaining a modest decrease in total fringe benefit costs(-$80,000,or-2.6%).
This proposed budget does not reflect any wage increases that may occur as the result of upcoming
negotiations with the Teamster Union,however,it does reflect the current and recently negotiated agreement
with the U.A.W.union. It does reflect more closely the actual expenditure history within the Division. This
is a low growth budget, one that is committed to maintaining the current programs.
CAPITAL BUDGET:
The following is a comparison of the capital budgets for FY 2005, FY 2006, and FY 2007 by general
expenditure type:

Total $15,808,498 $17,986,587 $20,603,061 + 2,616,474 +14.5%
As it can be seen in the table above,the overall Capital Budget(w/o CSO,including only CSO related debt
service)has increased by a total of$2,616,474 or+14.5%in the Sewage Fund budget request for FY 07
over the approved FY 06 Budget. The equipment request was eliminated and placed into the regular six-year
CIP plan. This portion of the Capital budget decreased by$120,800,or-100%from FY06. The Capital
Projects request increased by$2,250,600 or+52.2%from FY 06. "Note:A total of$2,275,000 of the cash funded
CIP items-the$6,558,600-will be funded by the Capital Contingency Fund(a restrict asset identified for this specific purpose in
the Sewage Fund),bringing the total cash needs for CIP(not including CSO)to$4,283,600(which is less than FY06 budget).
The total debt service has increased from$13,557,787 to$14,044,461,an increase of$486,674,representing
a 3.6%increase over FY06. This is the cost of debt retirement for both Revenue Bonds and the SRF loans
with the State of Michigan. This debt is directly related to paying for CSO work. CSO continues to be the
major driving force that increases the need for Sewage Fund revenue. Debt service now accounts for
approximately 40%of the total Sewage Fund budget request for FY 07. Equipment requests for the Sewage
Fund have fluctuated each of the last six years. The previous two years have been restrained,and include
3
Fiscal Year 2007 Sewage Fund
very low equipment funding requests.In FY 07,equipment requests were rolled into the six-year CIP plan.
SEWAGE RATES:
Sewer rate recommendation is not submitted with the budget request. We are currently developing the base
model. Discussion will need to follow relative to the following issues from the Council priority list and how
or if they will be integrated into the model.
COUNCIL BUDGET PRIORITIES:
Last year of Council authority to maintain sewage rate increase at 4%. Implementation of the Low Income
Sewer Utility Credit Program which was developed in FY 05. We established lifeline rates for sewer service
to assist those families that have income levels below poverty level. Public Service administration worked
with Finance to create a proposed Low Income Sewer Utility Credit Program. The program will assist low
income City of Lansing sewer users who own their homes the opportunity to claim a credit and receive a
refund on a portion of their sewer utility costs(that portion that exceeds 2%of their household income up
to a maximum of$60). Approximately 2000 homeowner are estimated to qualify for the program. The
estimated financial impact was estimated at approximately$120,000 per year, which would require a rate
increase of just less than 0.5%to support. In FY06,many customers took advantage of the program for a
total of appoximately$10,000 in sewer credit.

Description: (Attach organization chart)
The Operations &Maintenance Division is a 135 full-time persons operation; 12 seasonal employees are utilized during the summer for
mowing, sewer maintenance activities and compost collection. The Operations and Maintenance Division is located at 601 E. South St.
This Division is responsible for the maintenance and repair of all City streets, sidewalks, curb and gutters, sewers,bridges, and pedestrian
overpasses. The Superintendent is responsible for the programming of major maintenance activities. These activities are coordinated with
the City and Transportation Engineers through the Director. All winter snow and ice-removal for City streets are performed by this
Division.
Department vehicles are maintained by.this Division's Service Garage staff of 17 workers.
This Division also contains the Solid Waste Collection Operations,which consists of 27 full-time and 6 seasonal employees. The
employees are funded by the Garage &Rubbish Collection Fund and the Recycling Fund.
Act 51 is State money from the Vehicle Highway Fund provided to the City for maintenance,improvement, construction,reconstruction,
acquisition and extension of major and local streets and an allocation for an annual trunk line maintenance contract.
The State Highway Department divides streets into three categories and funding is pro-rate according to the street mileage in these
categories,plus the City's population.
Trunkline - The streets owned and built by the State. The City has a contract with the State to maintain these lines in the
City limits (33 miles).
Major Streets.- Those streets of the greatest importance to the municipality. 105.6 miles of streets in Lansing are designated
"Major Streets".
Local Streets- All streets (mainly residential streets)in the City that are not designated as a Trunkline or Major street. Lansing
has 304 miles of Local Streets.
All street work done is on a priority basis—trunklines must be serviced first,major streets must be serviced second, and local streets are
serviced last.

Virg Bemero,Mayor
TO: Board of Public Service
FROM: Bill Bergman, Interim Director of Public Service
DATE: March 17,2006
SUBJECT: Proposed Budget—Fiscal Year 2007
This year, the budget request is organized a bit differently than in previous years. The majority of
changes affect the Administration and Engineering section of the budget.
In past years,most of the Administration and Engineering staff were shown in the General Fund budget.
Two years after a budget year,the Indirect Cost Distribution Plan reallocated these expenses in
proportion to the effort to support each fund. As a result,the majority of the Administration and
Engineering expenses were returned to General Fund in the form of credits from the other funds, but in a
manner that was not obvious. For FY 2007,the budget shows the Administration and Engineering
expenditure requests directly as they support each fund. This will provide greater clarity.
Another major change is the proposed reduction of 20 positions, most of which are already vacant. We
are not identifying the specific positions at this time for a number of reasons. The department
recommendations may not be accepted by the Mayor. Even if these recommendations are accepted by
the Mayor,any changes will be subject to review and input that the respective union contracts may
require. If a currently occupied position is eliminated,the employee will have bumping rights, per the
contract. There is no point in unduly alarming any employee by designating a position to be lost,when
such a change in a position may never transpire.
The first set of tables summarizes all of the funds and activities of the Department,excluding CIP and
Debt Service. When summarized as a whole,the Department's proposed operating budget has a
decrease of 1.23%for personnel; an increase of 0.19%for supplies and operating expenses; and a
decrease of 9.89%for equipment as compared to the approved budget for FY 2006. The overall
operating budget, including personnel and equipment costs, is a decrease of 0.88%, when comparing the
approved budget for FY 2006 with the proposed budget for FY 2007.
Each of the separate funding areas has information concerning its respective budget. Each funding area
also addresses the City Council funding priorities for FY 2007.
We will be available to answer questions or address issues relative to the proposed budget for Fiscal
Year 2007.

and Brian Surgener
ABSENT: Shirley Rodgers
STAFF: Bill Bergman, Dean Johnson, and Victor Rose
VISITORS: None

Plant Administration Office. Mr. Flechter welcomed everyone.
2) APPROVAL OF MUNUTES - January 12, 2006
Ms. Schmidt moved, Mr. Baerman seconded,
to approve the minutes for the meeting held January 12, 2006, as presented.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

4) ACTION ITEMS—
a. Public Service Department Annual Report 2005
Mr. Flechter distributed copies of a cover letter he prepared to accompany the
Annual Report which was included in the Board packet. A discussion ensued.
Mr. Copedge moved, Mr. Bloomberg seconded,
to adopt the report Public Service Department Achievements, Initiatives, and
Challenges in 2005, as the Board's Annual Report and submit it to the Mayor and
Lansing City Council for consideration, in compliance with the Lansing City

MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

Public Service Board Page 2
February 9, 2006
Monthly divisional reports were distributed in Board Packets.
Engineering Division—No additional information was provided.
Wastewater Division—No additional information was provided.
Solid Waste Section—Mr. Flechter asked for clarification on the information regarding
the number of phone calls responded to. Mr. Rose stated he would investigate this
information.
Operations & Maintenance Division—No additional information was provided.
6) DIRECTOR'S REPORT—
A. Enhancement Grant- Mr. Bergman reported that an Enhancement Grant for
streetscape improvements along Michigan Avenue, offered by the Michigan Department
of Transportation (MDOT), was rejected by City Council. However, there are a few
Council members working to garner support for the grant. Mr. Johnson noted that the
grant is for approximately$2.4 Million. The City's match would be approximately
$800,000. The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality(MDEQ) has verbally
committed to fund $500,000 to $1 Million of the City's portion.
A discussion ensued among Board members regarding the Enhancement Grant. Mr.
Johnson explained that the proposed rain gardens would provide an innovative method to
manage run-off which would meet compliance guidelines. Under the Clean Water Act,
management of run-off is a legal requirement and the Enhancement Grant would have
provided an opportunity to meet these guidelines with small expense to the City while at
the same time, acquiring a significant benefit. Mr. Johnson noted that the Michigan
Avenue Corridor was an important component of the recommendations made by the
Mayor's 2020 Task Force. Mr. Surgener suggested that the City complete the grant
application and see if MDEQ can commit to providing the funding. Mr. Flechter thanked
Mr. Johnson and the engineering staff for their time and effort in trying to secure the
grant for the City.
B. Budget—Mr. Bergman explained that the Departments have been instructed to
design their budgets from scratch. Weekly instructions are given and no deadlines have
yet been provided. Mr. Bloomberg asked if the Board would be reviewing budget
materials this year.
7) OTHER ITEMS —
-Mr. Bloomberg asked for the status on sewer back-up questions raised by Ms. Rodgers
at the January meeting. Mr. Bloomberg also wondered if recruiting had begun to fill the
vacant Director's position.
-Mr. Surgener reported that he recently attended a meeting to discuss the U.S. 127 Sound
Wall. Mr. Surgener noted that the City would be required to pay 10% of engineering
Public Service Board Page 3

costs even if the project is canceled. Mr. Copedge noted that the Department may need to
inform City Council of the potential of jeopardizing future funding from MDOT by
setting the precedent of backing out of projects.
-Mr. Copedge asked about the status of the resurfacing of Waverly Road.
8) COMMUNICATIONS—None
9) ADJOURNMENT—
The meeting adjourned at 1:10 p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,

PUBLIC SERVICE DEPARTMENT
ACHIEVEMENTS, INITIATIVES
AND CHALLENGES IN 2005
PART ONE
ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2005
A. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
1. Administered Letter of Intent projects for installation of public improvements on various
developments.
2. Continued to work with the developers of the College Fields development to restart this large
scale project in which approximately 3000 feet of sewer has been installed and 2000 feet of road
paved. This development, at full build-out will contain over 250 units of mixed residential
development that will be built around the new College Fields Golf Course.
3. Construction of the Bennett Road Pump Station to serve the College Fields development was
almost completed (90+%) in 2005. The recently constructed North Alaiedon Pump Station and
the Bennett Road Pump Station will serve the sewer district in Alaiedon Township and the
College Fields development. Both of these areas will add more than 300 acres to our sewer
service area and encourage new development.
4. Worked with the developers of East Village (the Boys Training School Site) to complete the
construction of the roads, sewers and sidewalks in the development. This development
represents the first major housing development in the City in many years. When completed, this
24-acre parcel will contain over 177 family homes.
5. Worked with the developers of Printer's Row(Kerr House development)to coordinate CSO
separation of a section of St. Joseph. This was a developer friendly activity to move up the
separation of this particular street so as to eliminate the need for large scale construction in the
near future. The Printer's Row development will add 17 new residential units to the City's
housing stock
6. Worked with the developers of the Gillespie and Hepler developments. When completed,these
two developments will add over 260 homes to downtown Lansing.
7. Worked with Worked with the MDOT and MDEQ to gain tentative approval on an
enhancement grant package totaling over$4.0 Million dollars for the Michigan Ave. Corridor.
This will enhance the approach to the State Capitol as well as encourage future property
investments.

B. NEIGHBORHOODS
1. In an effort to increase safety for pedestrians using the City's sidewalk system, the Department
completed an assessment of the major street sidewalk network. Areas with gaps in the sidewalk
network were prioritized into categories for installation of new sidewalk. The highest priority
areas received new sidewalk in 2005. It is estimated that the program to fill in the gaps along
the major streets will take 15 years to complete.
2. Worked closely with neighborhood groups and associations to provide advance notice of
construction activities and projects as well as ongoing communication during long projects.
3. Continued to partner with the BWL on construction projects in an effort to shorten the overall
duration of construction projects on neighborhoods.
4. Replaced more than 129,000 square feet of sidewalk to provide safer routes for pedestrians.
5. Constructed over 52,000 square feet of new sidewalk to fill in gaps in the existing sidewalk
network. This is almost 2 miles of new sidewalk and includes sections along Jolly Road, Lake
Lansing Road, Cedar Street and Saginaw Street.
6. Paved 1 gravel street; Wayne Street east of Aurelius Road. This extension of paved roadway
with the installation of water main and sanitary sewer in encouraging the development of 8 to 12
residential lots.
7. The city continued to work with MDOT on the design for construction of a barrier wall to
provide relief to the residents from highway noise on US 127. This was in response to petitions
from the Groesbeck Neighborhood citizens in 2004 and application to MDOT in 2005. This
project is expected to be completed in 2006.
8. Provided salting and snow plowing operations to the city's bridges,major streets, and local
streets.
9. Worked closely with neighborhood associations to keep our city clean, improve safety and build
pride in our communities. Worked with Council Member Joan Bauer, Mayor's Executive
Assistant Dave Wiener, and other departments to improve beautification of our city by
requesting funding to increase frequency of sweeping, mowing, etc.
10. Supported our neighborhoods by continuing the collection of solid waste materials from
residential homes including bulk, refuse, compost and recyclable materials. Continued
operation of the curbside blue cart trash collection program which has experienced an increase
in participation since the introduction of the ninety-five gallon carts. Approximately, 25%of all
City residents currently use the refuse system. Our number of active blue cart accounts
continues to increase with over 4000 in 2005. We expect to have over 4500 by February 2006.
Continued the bulk sticker program creating sufficient revenue to cover landfill and operational
expenses.
Page 2 of 21
11. Provided quality recycling and compost material for marketing and with increased promotion ,
increased participation is expected. It is worth noting that we recycle 12 lbs. per month per
household which is at the average nationwide, and does not include our composting numbers.
The yard waste collection program continues to be one of the best values offered anywhere in
the state. As part of our integrated approach to solid waste management, department staff
continue to provide technical assistance to individuals seeking to further reduce their waste with
information on backyard composting and grasscycling
12. Continued to make the cleaning of sewers in response to sewer problems as a high priority and
met the goal to clean sanitary sewers every two years and respond to citizen complaints within
an hour or less. Increased efforts in sanitary sewer and manhole repair, Wye and taps, sanitary
sewer, storm sewer and catch basin cleaning due to bringing staff levels close to normal range.
13. Recent improvements implemented at the City's wastewater treatment facility have helped
significantly reduce the presence of odors in the neighborhoods surrounding the plant. These
improvements will ultimately help protect our citizens, the water that flows through our City,
the air we breathe, the value of our properties, and the overall quality of our neighborhoods.
The wastewater treatment facility continues to produce and discharge approximately 16 million
gallons of high quality clean water into the Grand River every day.
14. Continued to meet with BWL to work cooperatively on solving billing and collection cost
issues.
C. FAMILY,YOUTH,AND EDUCATION
1. The Wastewater Division encourages all local public educational institutions to tour the
treatment facility. In 2005, staff conducted numerous tours with school grades ranging from
5th grade to college level. Provided economic and technological information, and facility tours
to the Lansing School District, Michigan State University,Lansing Community College,
industry association representatives, regulatory agency representatives, and other municipalities
to offer information about our service to the public, and to make people aware of the Clean
Water Act.
2. The Wastewater Division worked with the Michigan State University"Upward Bound" Program
this year by involving a student in a job shadowing and general work/study arrangement for
approximately six (6) weeks. Through this process,we are able to demonstrate to our local
youth the kinds of opportunities available to students in the Lansing community who are low-
income and first generation.
Page 3 of 21
D. INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENVIRONMENT
1. Chaired the Greater Lansing Regional Committee on Phase II Non-Point Source Pollution
Prevention. This group is working collaboratively to achieve storm water permit compliance
with the MDEQ. In addition to several pollution prevention requirements included in the permit,
watershed plans are being developed for the three watersheds that drain the City of Lansing.
These include the Grand River, Red Cedar, and Looking Glass River watersheds. The permit
requires a great deal of public input and involvement and the Department participated in and
conducted several public meetings related to this effort.
2. Continued work on a Remedial Action Plan(RAP)with MDEQ to address groundwater and
environmental issues associated with the Aurelius Road Landfill and the Paulson Road site.
3. The City continued its 30-year Combined Sewer Overflow program by completing its 14`h
successful year of the program. A highlight from this past construction season was the
abandonment of regulator 37. This will bring the total average annual reduction in sewage
overflow to the river to 572 million gallons.
4. Approximately 15 miles of road were resurfaced in 2005.
5. Completed design for replacement of superstructure of East Grand Avenue Bridge over the
Grand River in Old Town. The Department formed a design core team comprised of local
businesses, the convention and visitors bureau and the Old Town Main Street Organization.
This Core Team assisted in the design by helping to select and drive the major esthetic features
of the bridge. Construction is expected to start in Spring 2006 and expected to be completed
by the end of Fall 2006
6. Completed the replacement of the Pennsylvania Avenue bridge. Construction cost was
approximately$3.0+/- million.
7. The City, through its Administrative Consent Order(ACO)with the Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality(MDEQ), has begun to address some of the short term measures called
for in the ACO. The ACO is a document that will guide the City in meeting MDEQ guidelines
and federal regulations on sanitary sewer overflows (SSO). The first project targeted in the
ACO-short term measures was the Tecumseh Road Pump Station Sewer Rehabilitation Project.
Under this project, 3000 feet of sanitary sewer was lined with CIPP (cast in place pipe) 890
feet of root treatment applied and 1780 joints were grouted. Also, 4,600 feet new sewer were
installed and 173 feet repaired.
Page 4 of 21
8. The first ever comprehensive sanitary master plan continued to develop many scope items of the
contract including the development of a hydraulic model and the selection of SSO alternatives
to meet the MDEQ/ACO requirements. The hydraulic model will assist the City in analyzing
sewer system capacity and our ability to serve future developments. Other task items of the
Master Plan are assistance in GIS information management systems, inflow and infiltration
inspections and submittal of the City's final SSO project plan. The master plan final
recommendations will be finalized and presented to the Public Service Department by the
summer of 2006.
9. Completed the design and material procurement contract to replace several deteriorated key
structures on the West Side Interceptor. This project will be one of the first in the country to
use pre-cast polymer based concrete structures. The West Side Interceptor carries
approximately 1/3 of the City's sewage to the wastewater treatment plant.
10. Met final treated water discharge effluent to the Grand River and the administrative
requirements of the National Pollutants Discharge Elimination(NPDES) Permit by efficient
operations and maintenance of our largest regional Wastewater Treatment Plant.
11. Completed construction of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)Phase IV for
the City's Wastewater Treatment Plant and pump stations. All portions of Phase I&II and IV of
SCADA are in use. SCADA Phases I, II, and III and Phase II implementation has provided
fully automated control of the Plant screening process,north plant primary and secondary
processes, south plant primary and secondary processes,north plant equalization, south plant
equalization&retention, tertiary filtration, solids handling processes, recycled flows,plant
effluent water system and UV disinfection. Phase IV implementation provides automated
control of the City's Major and Minor Pump Stations. The Wastewater Division continues to
expand and improve upon its recordkeeping capabilities through the use of SCADA by tracking
such useful process parameters as: equipment run times,power monitoring,pump vibration
analysis,pH, temperatures, tank levels, etc. The recent availability of computer trending
parameters has been a useful tool in the operation and maintenance of the treatment facility.
12. Completed SRF funded projects related to CSO for the WWTP. These projects include: odor
control, equalization basin flushing, aeration tank drain redirect,plant effluent water
modifications, and final settling tank launders.
13. The Wastewater Division is working with the City Attorney on restaurant grease discharge
issues and local limit ordinance revisions.
14. The Wastewater Division continued landfilling of residual solids to aid in the decomposition of

PART TWO
DETAILED ACTIVITIES OF AND CHALLENGES FOR
ENGINEERING, OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE AND WASTEWATER
DIVISIONS IN 2005
A. ENGINEERING DIVISION
The Engineering Division is responsible for planning, designing, and constructing streets,
bridges, combined sewer overflow (CSO) elimination, sanitary sewer overflow (SSO)
elimination, sidewalk, environmental remediation, and storm sewers within the City. These
services are also provided for the sanitary sewers and appurtenances outside City limits within
the sanitary sewer district. This division is responsible for permitting all construction activities
within City rights-of-way. It enforces the City ordinances pertaining to the right-of-way areas,
sewer activity, soil erosion and sedimentation control and telecommunications. Site plans and
land use permit requests are reviewed by this division for conformance to engineering standards
and ordinances. The Division also provides engineering services for other departments in the
City.
The Engineering staff was responsible for the following activities and accomplishments:
• Managing all CSO, sewer,road, sidewalk,bridge, and environmental remediation
construction projects.
• Negotiating an Administrative Consent Order(ACO) with the State. This order will
establish the specifics of a plan to eliminate all sanitary sewer overflows (SSO's)in the
City.
• Participate in the Greater Lansing Regional Stormwater Committee to comply with the
conditions of the City's Stormwater Phase-II Permit.
• Managing and operating GIS system utilizing the existing sewer index maps,the
Assessor's database and new parcel index map.
• Enforcing the City's Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control program.
Revising and enforcing the City's Snow Removal Ordinance.
• Permitting of all right-of-way activities including driveway cuts, sidewalk work,utility
installation and telecommunication/fiber optic wire installations.
• Inspecting new sanitary sewer installations by developers, via the City's Letter of Intent
Process.
• Reviewing site plans, SLU's, and ACT's
Page 7 of 21
• Providing sewer main information, aerial photography, and street information to
developers, architects, and/or engineers
• Responding to citizen complaints and questions regarding city ordinances.
Staff will continue to respond to citizen complaints in an expedient manner.
We will continue to develop our GIS system. In addition, the department will continue to update
our computer infrastructure on an annual basis.
Work will continue for all of these programs through funding in the General Fund, Sewage
funds, ACT 51, and the State Revolving Fund program (solely used for the CSO program).
The following describes activities of the division as related to specialties:
1. Streets
The Engineering Division facilitates the maintenance, resurfacing, and reconstruction of our
City street infrastructure by designing, overseeing, inspecting, and tracking all road resurfacing
activity. The City road system consists of approximately 105-miles of major streets and
approximately 305-miles of local streets. The department administers an annual CIP program
for the road system of$7million+/-utilizing state, federal and City funding. Staff will continue
to place precedence on getting the biggest bang for the buck on our road program and
infrastretching with other projects. Our pavement management system was updated
to include the Roadsoft software and PASER rating system, incorporating policies from the
State's Asset Management Program. We will also continue to seek funding levels that will
allow us to reduce the backlog of unacceptable streets.
2. Bridges and Skywalks
The Engineering Division is charged with the maintenance of the City's seventeen roadway and
thirteen pedestrian bridges. This includes a biennial inspection of all bridges and an annual
inspection of all critical bridges.
The department completed the design for the replacement of the Grand River bridge in Old
Town. The businesses in Old Town were engaged in an extensive stakeholder input process.
Stakeholder input was essential for developing alternatives, schedules, and addressing access
issues. Construction will commence in the Spring of 2006 and be completed by late summer.
In addition the Department applied for and was selected for Critical Bridge funding from the
Michigan Department of Transportation(MDOT) to replace the Beech Street bridge over the
Red Cedar River. Design will commence in 2006,with construction scheduled for 2007.
Page 8 of 21
3. Sidewalks
There are more than 550 miles of sidewalks in City rights-of-way which the Department is
responsible for maintaining. A maintenance program for sidewalk has historically been
underfunded and in need of attention. The department replaced 129,000 square feet of sidewalk
to provide safer routes for pedestrians. Constructed over 52,000 square feet of new sidewalk to
fill in the gaps of the sidewalk network. This work was performed in conjunction with road
projects, CSO projects, and primarily sidewalk rehabilitation projects. Sidewalk construction
included new sidewalk on major streets including Jolly Road, Lake Lansing Road, Saginaw
Street and Cedar Street. A portion of the cost to replace sidewalk and construct new sidewalk
was assessed to property owners with the balance paid by the City's General Fund. New
sidewalk was also designed and bid for portions of Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and South
Cedar Street. The sidewalk will be constructed in the spring of 2006. A report was completed
which detailed the gaps in our major street sidewalk network and presented a prioritization plan
for completion of sidewalk in these gap areas.
4 Sanitary Sewer Collection System
The first ever comprehensive sanitary master plan continued to develop. Recently completed
tasks include the development of a hydraulic model that will assist the City in analyzing sewer
system capacity and the ability to serve future developments, GIS index mapping and database
population, SSO alternative analysis and process flow analysis. Recently, the department
negotiated an Administrative Consent Order(ACO) that will commence enforcement of the
elimination of all sanitary sewer overflows (SSO's)within the City. It is expected that the
solution to eliminating SSO's is to reduce wet weather flow rates.
This could include eliminating residential footing drains. It is anticipated that the SSO program
will last several years at cost of more than$200 million. We have budgeted programs to begin
addressing this issue. A major emphasis of the department will be on developing long term
plans and funding alternatives for the SSO elimination program.
We continued to work with the developers of the College Fields development toward
completing the on-site pump station, the forcemain that will serve the development as well as
the on-site sewers that will serve the development. In addition, we worked with the Printers
Row and East Village Developments to facilitate installation of public infrastructure.
The two main interceptors serving the City are showing their age. The WSI is the primary trunk
sewer that transports sewage from the City's western side to the wastewater treatment plant.
Previous sections of the interceptor were lined with a cured in place liner. Several existing
manholes as well as a large junction chamber are rapidly deteriorating due to Hydrogen Sulfide
attack of the concrete. We are in the process of initiating a contract that will replace these
structures with precast structures constructed of an inert polymer based concrete. This project
will be one of the first in the nation to use these materials.
Page 9 of 21
In addition, recent inspections of the Central Interceptor have shown serious signs of
degradation. Within the next few months we will commission a study to evaluate the condition
of the interceptor that will include recommendations for rehabilitation.
The City's sewer system continues to expand to serve outlying areas. Examples of this include o
the Meridian Township 425 Area (College Fields), as well as other areas within Meridian
Township. These sewer improvements will facilitate development and add more than 300 acres
to our sewer service area.
We also continued to work with the developers of the College Fields development toward
completing the on-site pump station, the forcemain that will serve the development as well as
the on-site sewers that will serve the development.
The Department also began work on the 2005 Miscellaneous Sewer Construction project to
implement corrective actions to alleviate public health and source of pollution problems on nine
different locations in the City.
5. Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Elimination Program
The City continues its 30-year Combined Sewer Overflow program by completing its 14th
successful year of the program. A highlight from this past construction season was the
abandonment of regulator 037. This will bring the total average annual reduction in sewage
overflow to the river to 572 million gallons.
The Department also continues to focus on the elimination of inflow and infiltration (I/I), via
sewer system repairs, and the continued efforts through the CSO program. The CSO program
addresses I/I problems by aggressively communicating with residents and landowners to try and
ascertain how each home or business is connected to our sewer system. By having such a good
program we have eliminated almost 99% of our private property inflow sources to date in the
CSO construction areas.
6. Flood Control,Watershed Pollution Reduction, and Storm Sewer System
The Department is also charged with the Maintenance, Construction, and repair of the City's
storm sewer system. The department continues collaborative efforts with the Greater Lansing
Regional Committee on Phase-II Non-Point Source Pollution Prevention . In addition to several
pollution prevention requirements included in the permit,watershed management plans are
being developed for the three watersheds that drain the City of Lansing. These include the
Grand River,Red Cedar, and Looking Glass River watersheds. The permit requires a great deal
of public input and involvement and the Department participated in and conducted several
public meetings related to this effort.
In addition, the Department recently received a grant of over$300,000 from the MDEQ to
develop and complete an Illicit Discharge Elimination Program (IDEP). This grant related work
will be completed in 2007.

7. Environmental Cleanup and Groundwater Remediation
Continued work on a Remedial Action Plan(RAP)with MDEQ to address groundwater and
environmental issues associated with the Aurelius Road Landfill and the Paulson Road site.
B. OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE DIVISION
The Operations &Maintenance Division consists of 156 employees (144 full time and 12
seasonal)providing street maintenance, sewer maintenance, surface maintenance, vehicle
maintenance, and solid waste collection services. The street, surface and sewer maintenance
sections have 96 full time and six seasonal employees responsible for repairing, cleaning, and
maintaining the safe condition of city streets, alleys, sidewalks, curbs, sewers,bridges and
pedestrian overpasses and also provides backup for Solid Waste crews. There are 30 full time
and six seasonal employees that provide weekly refuse, bulk item,recycling, yardwaste and
seasonal Christmas tree collection. Maintenance of Public Service equipment and vehicles is
the responsibility of 18 full time Service Garage employees.
1. Surface and Street Sections
The Surface and Street sections operated at a service level slightly lower to that of last year.
These sections experienced a reduction of three crew positions increasing the vacancy factor by
approximately thirty three percent. The street program continued to provide the much needed
preventive maintenance for new street structures in the form of crack filling. This is the second
year where we have seen an increase in either lane miles maintained or pounds of material
applied. Our primary goal is to effectively maintain these areas utilizing efficient techniques
when possible and maximizing funding as always with our best judgement.
The section below represents responses to citizen complaints concerning problems in the right-
of-way. Complaint recording began on July 1, 1982. The following is a summary of the
complaints received during FY 2005:
Type of Complaint 2004 2005 04 vs.05
Pothole 331 777 + 134.74
Other Street Complaints 213 167 - 21.60
Unpaved Streets 67 86 + 28.35
Street Cleaning 28 32 + 14.29
Sidewalk 161 191 + 18.63
Other Complaints 759 830 + 9.35
Sewer Complaints 1,614 1264 - 21.69
Total 3,173 2,347 + 5.48
Page 11 of 21
Complaints were up slightly in year 2005 compared to the previous year. Pothole
complaints were considerably higher this year due to a harder freeze-thaw winter. In 2005,the
combination of a mild winter and a dry spring resulted in a 22% decrease of sewer related
complaints as compared to 2004.
Other activities this section performs is the removal of snow and ice from the City's streets,
skywalks and alleys. During the 2004-2005 winter, O&M crews completed three full plowing
operations.
Resurfacing projects were up in 2005. Although the street repair group had a higher number of
vacancies in 2005, they have continued to manage their current workload and more. Less
expensive activities like skin patching is up 31% compared to levels last year. Utility cuts were
up significantly due to the Lead Line replacement program and moving gas lines for CSO
projects. There was also an increase in sidewalk and curb replacement for the Board of Water
and Light. 44 local streets and 4 major streets were overlayed in 2005. 4 major streets were
milled and resurfaced, and 4 major streets were machine skinpatched. These activities will
greatly increase the quality of roads in the Lansing area which will cut down on the number of
complaints
Construction activities have remained consistent with an emphasis places on preventative
maintenance of current infrastructure. Sanitary sewer cleaning has increased by 60% over 2004.
This is result of full staffing in crew#9 and the ability to continue cleaning during the mild
winter. Crew#10 sustained most of the job vacancies in the sewer section for 2005 and is
shown by the decrease of catch basin cleaning and tv inspections. The following surface and
street maintenance activities were conducted over the past periods shown.

3. Vehicle Maintenance and Service Garage
In Year 2005, the Service Garage operated with 2 vacant mechanic positions. The lack of
staff has started to reduce our preventative maintenance on time performance, especially since
we are now maintaining a large part of the Parks Department fleet of trucks and equipment. We
have been able to maintain the percentage level of P.M.work orders,but our goal is to increase
them in order to reduce unscheduled work and downtime. The parts room inventory is
valued at$249,643. We continue to work with vendors to rotate out old stock and credit us for
returned obsolete items. It is our goal to get further reductions in the inventory without affecting
our ability to service trucks and equipment in a timely manner.
The following data is derived from the FleetTracker Equipment Management computer
reporting system:

4. Solid Waste Collection
The refuse program,which includes blue carts, blue bags and bulk, continues to be competitive.
The number of blue cart customers has increased steadily over the years. Residents appreciate
the reasonable prices and superior level of customer service. The refuse system is considered a
Pay As You Throw service, which means that residents pay for everything they place at the
curbside. This type of system has been proven to encourage recycling and waste reduction in
communities across the country. The majority of our trash customers also participate in the
curbside recycling program, due to the fact that they are educated about the other city services
available to them. To compare, private haulers do not generally inform their customers about the
City's recycling services and therefore, many private hauler customers do not recycle.
The City offers residents a comprehensive solid waste program, providing multiple options to
suit individual needs. For example, we are the only program in town that offers a 21 and 32
gallon trash cart. These smaller options are much better suited for smaller, one person
households or for the elderly,who don't generally produce as much trash, as a family or larger
household. Our customers appreciate the high level of service and the range of options available
to them. This program allows us to meet our goal of delivering a complete and comprehensive
program to the public.
A summary of the refuse system is listed below:
Bag Collection 2004 2005
Refuse Collection Expense $1,258,111 $1,350,395
Bags Sold 357,150 327,000
Bag Costs 1.75 1.80

Quarterly Cost/65 Gal.Pickup $ 38.10 $ 39.30
Quarterly Cost/32 Gal.Pickup $ 32.90 $ 34.95
Quarterly Cost/21 Gal.Pickup $ 30.25 $ 32.10
Bulk Collection
Bulk Collection Expense $63,650 $ 71,223
Stickers Sold 2,800 2,667
The Refuse collection system operated with a four-route collection operation, with the addition
of a dead-end/complaint truck. Employees work three of their scheduled twelve holidays to
reduce service interruptions
Page 14 of 21
We instituted the bulk sticker program effective July 1, 1988. Bulk stickers are sold in many of
the refuse bag outlets. Revenue generated from the sale of these stickers is expected to provide
sufficient funds to cover landfill and operational expenses.
The blue cart program completed its eighth year in 2005. The success of the program to date,
indicates steady growth for the future. There are currently approximately 4350 active cart
accounts and this number continues to grow on a regular basis.
5. Recycling & Composting
The recycling transfer station has reached a point that its current mode of operation must go
through a transition in the near future to achieve the operational versatility required to move
products efficiently. This need is market driven and will require creative concepts in design and
management to allow us to meet the constantly changing area of recycling and be in position to
maximize earnings, reduce costs,provide the best possible service to our citizens and maximize
opportunities for regional cooperation.
To enhance the existing recycling services offered to the community, a drop-off center was
added in 2001. To date, the materials accepted at the drop-off site are those that the City is
unable to collect at the curbside, such as telephone books and corrugated cardboard. However,
the site also accepts mixed paper/junk mail, magazines and catalogs (also accepted curbside),
which is a valuable option for apartment dwellers and others without access to the curbside
program.
In addition to the curbside and drop-off programs, the City works with other local entities to offer
regional recycling events to collect materials such as computers, home electronics, textiles, books
and other "hard to recycle" items. The regional collections are offered each Spring and Fall.
Another regional effort is the Waste Reduction Awards Program (WRAP),now in it's fourth
year, the program honors local businesses and others in the community who have demonstrated a
firm commitment to recycling and waste reduction.
The seasonal yard waste collection program offers residents unlimited collection of organic yard
waste materials and typically runs from April through November. Many communities place
limits on the amount of material residents can place curbside, however, the City of Lansing has
no such limit,provided that the materials are prepared according to the required guidelines.
Waste Reduction Services continues to encourage backyard composting by providing residents
with information and demonstrations on how to properly develop and maintain a compost bin.
Master Composter classes are also offered each Spring to further the education process and
encourage class participants to educate their family, friends and neighbors to start backyard
composting.
Page 15 of 21
The education program was recognized as Recycling Education Program of the year by the
Michigan Recycling Coalition in 2002, and continues to provide excellent educational programs
throughout the Lansing Public Schools.. More than 160 classroom programs regarding recycling
and composting were provided to Lansing schools in 2005. The school recycling effort has also
made great strides with regard to the curbside collection. To date, approximately 25 schools are
participating,which provides a valuable education lesson, as well as reinforces the recycling
habit. Those students will then encourage others in their families to participate in the residential
curbside recycling program. Waste Reduction Services staff strengthens this effort by providing
teachers and school officials with resources on how to properly oversee the school recycling
effort.
In addition, a collection of environmental education resources, called "The Traveling Green
Trunk," which includes videos, activity books, supplemental curriculum, etc. are available to all
Lansing School District teachers upon request. There are three trunks available and they have all
been recently equipped with new,updated resources.
One major aspect of the recycling program is educating our citizens on the benefits of recycling
and composting. The Greensheet,Waste Reduction Services bi-annual newsletter, has become
and continues to be the primary source of information to residents and is highly effective in
communicating to the public about our programs and services. The Greensheet is mailed to
each single family household in the City of Lansing and is also available online and at Lansing
community centers and other similar outlets.
ITEM 2004 2005
Recycling $1,239,005 $1,233,127

Total $2,768,308 $2,862,104
The yard waste system operates with 4 routes and a dead end/complaint truck. The Recycling
system operates with 6 regular routes and a dead-end/complaint truck,with the exception of the
Thursday route,which tends to be heavier, and therefore requires 7 trucks. Employees work
three of their scheduled holidays just as the Bulk and Bag system.
The Operations and Maintenance Division started the recycling program in November 1991.
While a formal participation survey has not been done recently, the last study reported a
participation rate of approximately 53%throughout the city. Revenue was generated through an
annual fee(currently$70.00), which also funds the yard waste collection program and is applied
to residences and dwellings of four or less units.

C.. WASTEWATER DIVISION
The Wastewater Division, with a staff of 62, is responsible for the operation and maintenance of
the combined sewer overflow facilities (regulators), storm and sanitary pumping stations, and
the wastewater treatment plant operation &maintenance. Other division activities include the
Industrial Pretreatment Program, and administration of the City's National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System(NPDES) Permit.
1. Wastewater Treatment
In 2005, construction continued on Phase III and IV of the Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition(SCADA)Project for the south plant treatment train, and solids handling processes
and automated control of the City's major and minor pumping stations.
State Revolving Fund(SRF) for CSO related projects completed in 2005 include: 1)Retention
Basins flushing, 2)Odor Control, and 3)Plant Effluent Water modifications. Two other
completed projects included: 4)Aeration Tank drain redirect, and 5)South Plant Secondary
Settling Tank launders, which were also funded through the SRF process.
The North Plant Improvements Project (to include skimmings,pre-aeration, concrete work, grit
modification, and some pipe replacement)was also completed in 2005.
The Wastewater Treatment Plant successfully treated 6.06 billion gallons of raw sewage and
processed it into "clean water", which was discharged into the Grand River, in compliance with
all State and Federal standards. Continued efficient operation of the detention basins at the
treatment plant maximized the volume of water processed by the plant in 2005 and eliminated
discharges of partially treated water during wet weather conditions. In 2005, we had one
discharge event from the retention basins (partially treated sewage). This discharge met the
effluent limitations and compliance requirements as authorized in the NPDES Permit.
The treatment process generated 10.35 million pounds of residual solids and 1.58 million
pounds were dewatered and land filled. Another 8.77 million pounds were lime-stabilized and
land applied. A total of 4,358 dry tons of lime stabilized biosolids were applied for recycling as
a soil conditioner and nutrient source (fertilizer) for agricultural crops.
The Treatment Plant was in compliance with the City's NPDES Permit throughout 2005. We
completed the year with zero final effluent discharge violations.
2. Wastewater Laboratory
Operation of the laboratory is one of the main priorities of the Division, to determine the
effectiveness and efficiency of the treatment processes and the quality of the effluent discharged
to the Grand River. The laboratory conducted about 35,700 analyses on 41 different pollutant
parameters on more than 5,200 samples collected from 32 different sampling points to
determine effluent quality and to monitor the process.
Page 17 of 21
3. Compliance Monitoring
The MDEQ conducted an annual Compliance Evaluation and Sampling Inspections of the
WWTP. The Compliance report indicated, "there did not appear to be any major compliance
issues regarding the WWTP and operations.....". MDEQ conducted a Compliance Audit of the
Industrial Pretreatment Program.
In March 2002,the Wastewater Division submitted an application for renewal of the City's
NPDES Permit. The new 5-year NPDES Permit was issued by the MDEQ on September 19,
2003. The permit took effect on January 1, 2004 and expires on October 1, 2007.
In October 2005, we submitted the annual biosolids report to MDEQ under the requirements of
the EPA Part 503 Rules. Data is also submitted in the Monthly Operating Report to the MDEQ
to meet the requirements of the Residuals Management Program contained in the NPDES
Permit.
4. Pumping Stations and Plant Maintenance
The Wastewater Division Field Operations staff monitors,maintains and operates 29 sanitary
sewer pumping stations, one air injection station, and five stormwater pumping stations which
serve both the City and surrounding Townships. The newest station, the North Alaiedon pump
station was recently validated and will soon receive flow. The old Lake Lansing Road pumping
station was eliminated.
The Field Operations staff responded to 39 emergency"after hours" alarms, which is a 46%
decrease from last year. The decrease is a result of installation and implementation of the new
SCADA system for monitoring and controlling pumping stations. Continued efforts to rebuild
and renovated pump stations have improved overall station reliability in 2005.
The Plant Maintenance Department completed over 6,300 work orders addressing preventive
maintenance, routine and emergency needs. This represents 2.4 times the number of work
orders addressed in 2004. Ninety five percent of the facility equipment is now documented in
the maintenance management computer program.
The Maintenance Department (both Field Operations and Plant Maintenance) completed
numerous maintenance related projects (rebuilt,replaced, demolished, or installed).

Page 19 of 21
5. CSO Regulators and Monitoring
The Combined Sewer Overflow(CSO) Project Plan continued to move forward and is further
addressed in the City Engineer's information. Projects required by the Final Combined Sewer
Overflow Control Program of 1992 are being completed in compliance with the construction
schedule as prescribed in the NPDES Permit.
For most of 2005, the Wastewater Division maintained 26 CSO regulators.
CSO Overflow Reports continue to be submitted to the Surface Water Quality Division of the
MDEQ on a monthly basis. The local health departments and the Lansing State Journal are
called during each event to provide notification of the discharge to the public. The reporting
and testing requirements are specified in the NPDES discharge permit.
6. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
Construction of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition(SCADA) System for the
treatment plant and pump stations is completed. The multi-year phased installation program is
on schedule. Phase I(Screen Building, Tertiary Process, Lansing Avenue Pump Station and
Harton Street Station) is complete and has been operational for more than three years. Phase II
(North Plant Primary and Secondary Processes,Flow Equalization,UV Disinfection, Plant
Effluent Water, Solids Thickening,Recycle, Electrical Switchgear and Plant Pump Station) is
complete and operational. Phase III(South Plant Primary and Secondary Processes, Flow
Equalization, and Sludge Dewatering/Incineration Building, Surveillance monitoring, Weather
Station data collection) is completed and operational. Phase IV (All other Pump Stations) is
completed. Additional automation, which is intended to save additional money is currently
underway at the Treatment Plant.
SCADA is currently active and providing remote monitoring, control, and data management of
the entire Wastewater Treatment Facility and Pumping Stations.
7. Industrial Pretreatment Program (IPP)
The IPP monitored 34 non-domestic users in 2005. A total of 345 industrial samples were
collected and 2,024 analyses were conducted to ensure the protection of the Wastewater
Treatment Plant,public health, and the environment. An additional 813 analyses were
performed on the pumping stations. The IPP group performed all required annual inspections of
Categorical Industrial Users and Significant Industrial Users.Numerous discharge permits were
issued or renewed, and several new industries were monitored.
The IPP group,with assistance from a consultant, recently revised its local limits by conducting
a maximum allowable headworks loading (MARL) study in 2005. This study was submitted to
the MDEQ for review and approval. Once approved,the MAHL valves will be placed into The
City ordinances.
Page 20 of 21
The Industrial Pretreatment group also successfully operated and maintained the Diamond Reo
groundwater remediation treatment system. Site remediation of the former Diamond REO
property was modified to include the deep well aquifer. The equipment used to process and
clean the contaminated water has been upgraded and is operated with oversight of our IPP
department. We are currently working with the Engineering Division and the MDEQ to pursue
partial closure on this site.

5) REPORT OF OFFICERS —
Monthly divisional reports were distributed in Board Packets.
Engineering Division— Mr. Bloomberg asked that staff change the date when updating
the report. Mr. Rodgers asked if the change in Administration will slow the hiring
process. Mr. Bergman stated there is a hiring freeze in place however, the hiring process
may continue for those positions where recruitment activities had already begun. Mr.
Bergman added that the Capital Projects Engineering position has been placed on hold.
12:00 p.m. Mr. Rose arrived.
Wastewater Division—Ms. Schmidt mentioned that the tour of the Wastewater
Treatment Plant should be postponed until a new Board member is appointed.
Solid Waste Section—Mr. Bloomberg asked about leaf pick-up. Mr. Rose stated that
there were a large number of bags left out by the road this year. Mr. Bloomberg also
noted the high number of phone calls received on the Waste Reduction Services hotline.
Mr. Flechter explained that he is concerned that some of the convenience stores may not
be counting trash bags correctly or issuing receipts to customers who buy the City trash
bags. Mr. Flechter noted he has witnessed these transactions. Mr. Rose explained that
there are three staff members that do monthly inventory at Operations and Maintenance.
Also, the City sells the bags outright to the stores that sell them to the public.
Operations & Maintenance Division—Mr. Bergman reported that the Mayor's Office
has asked the Public Service Department to evaluate the use of beet sugar to extend the
salt supply and potentially reduce overall costs. Mr. Bergman noted that the potential
cost savings would have to be balanced with required staff training in Operational
Services to make sure its not adding expense.
Ms. Schmidt asked if the Garage Consolidation Program will proceed. Mr. Bergman
explained that the original proposal had been voted down by City Council. The new
administration has asked that the issue be re-opened. Mr. Bergman noted that discussions
will continue.
6) DIRECTOR'S REPORT—
-Mr. Bergman distributed new the CSO/SSO flyers and thanked Board members for their
input. A discussion of inflow and sewer leads ensued. Mr. Flechter suggested that the
brochures should be sent to all local plumbers. Mr. Johnson explained that the Building
Safety Division of Planning and Neighborhood Development have been very receptive to
these issues and work to keep area plumbers educated.

January 12, 2006
7) OTHER ITEMS—
a. Ms. Rodgers reported that there was a sewer back-up on Jolly Road near the Condo
Association where she resides. Ms. Rodgers explained that a drain near Chapel of
the Pines routinely back-ups flooding storage areas at her Condo Association. Ms.
Rodgers stated this is a recurrent problem. Ms. Rodgers asked that the Department
provide her with statistical information showing how many other residents in this
area have had a problem. Ms. Rodgers also wanted to know of other areas in City
experiencing similar problems and what proactive measures are being taken to
resolve the problem. Ms. Rodgers wanted specific information regarding the
December 28, 2005, event. Mr. Bergman suggested there may be a collapsed pipe in
the area and asked Mr. Rose to review and gather data.
Mr. Johnson explained that this area does have a problem with sanitary sewer
overflow (SSO) issues. The City is under state mandate to find solutions to these
problems. Ms. Rodgers suggested that the City should take preventative measures in
these known areas. Mr. Johnson explained there are areas where excess rain
surcharges and there isn't anything that can be done. In these chronic areas it is
typical that the homes were built before the 1970's and still have footing drains that
haven't been unhooked from the sanitary sewer which can lead to a sewer back-up
problem.
b. Budget Materials—Mr. Bloomberg noted that budget materials will not be
available for the meeting scheduled January 26, 2006. Mr. Bloomberg asked that
budget materials be forwarded to Board members as far in advance as possible. Mr.

deadlines for the budget. A budget presentation date to the Board is pending. Mr.
Bloomberg noted that the agenda can be suspended for a special budget
presentation.

be submitted with the Annual Report.
d. Ms. Rodgers reported that she has invited Jerry Ambrose, Chief of Staff,
to a Board meeting. Ms. Rodgers expressed concern that Administration selects a

opinion and that the opinion be conveyed, particularly as it relates to filling the
Director's position.
