Page 3                    Continued                Water Project Update

City Engineer Jeff Wolfe gave an update on the water project.  It was announced that advertising to open bidding to the public for Phase I for the connections to Gering will begin and names will be submitted to the City Council in February or March.  There will be two connections both located on Country Club Road.  The first connection will be at Country Club Road and Five Rocks Road on the west side.  The next connection is further east on Country Club Road.  Both locations will have vaults and meters used to meter the water.  The main will be located in the alley on South Street.  It is important that the first priority be to connect to Gering because the consistency and quality of the one well currently being is unknown.  Once the connection to Gering is made, we will have Gering’s resource to water and will be using multiple wells and treatment.  The connections will begin in the spring and Terrytown will be fully connected to Gering in the summer.  Once the bidding of Phase I is complete, the City of Terrytown’s contribution will come to a close.  However, the City of Terrytown will continue to write checks as a pass-through, but the state and the federal government will start putting money toward the project.  We will start to use the grant money that has taken years to obtain.  The City of Terrytown will be paying a meter-rate to the City of Gering for approximately a year and a half and the citizens of Terrytown will continue to pay a base fee until the meters are installed.
City Administrator/Treasurer Lonnie Miller presented the November 2016 Financial Statements.  The total assets are higher than last year at this time and the liabilities are coming down.   The revenues are higher due to the quarterly lease payment from Nebraska Public Power District.
City Administrator/Treasurer Lonnie Miller advised that it is necessary to appoint a bond council.  A list of bond attorneys approved by the state was submitted to the council.  Natalie Furrow, Community Programs Specialist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development has informed the City of Terrytown that interim-financing through a bonding agent is necessary.  Ametrias has been selected as the bonding agent and in coordination with the bonding agent, a bond council is needed.  A list of bond attorneys approved by the state was submitted to council.  After discussion, Rembolt & Ludtke, L.L.P. from Lincoln, Nebraska, was chosen.  Moved by Perales and seconded by Green to appointment Rembolt & Ludtke as bond council was made.  Aye’s:  Green, Perales and Sherlock.  Nay’s:  None.  Motion approved.
The continuation of a $250.00 monthly contribution to the Carpenter Center through keno funds was discussed.  Even though there is no keno money coming in, the contribution could continue from another fund.  No action was taken and it was decided to continue the $250.00 monthly contribution to the Carpenter Center through keno funds and to review it again after six months.   
After interviewing four interested persons to fill the City Council vacancy in Ward I, Mayor Kent Greenwalt nominated and submitted Cynthia Kriner’s name.  Moved by Green and seconded by Perales to appoint Cynthia Kriner, a qualified registered voter, to fill the vacancy in Ward I for Council Bryan Armstrong’s unexpired term following his resignation.  Aye’s:  Green, Perales and Sherlock.  Nay’s:  None.  Motion approved and Kriner will be sworn in during February’s council meeting.
Police Chief Kevin Spencer presented an update on police activities that included an arrest made in a recent homicide that occurred in Scottsbluff.  Signing a contract for the computerized dispatch and records system has been pushed back and a decision should be made in March after meeting with three vendors on site.  “Coffee With A Cop” campaign was very successful and will be continued on a quarterly basis.
