4.A. Review and consider action on the quote from Nutri-Ject for Digester Cleaning, Removal and Land Application of Bio-solids at the WWTP for a total cost of $80,640.00 based on 17 feet of solids in both digesters.
Discussion:
City Administrator Tom Ourada informed the council that the digesters at the WWTP are generally pretty full of sludge and we are having to use a lot of polymer to get the excess out. If we go ahead with Nutri-Ject digester cleaning, it will cut back significantly on the use of polymer, which we currently spend around $4,000 per month on. The last four months of industrial billing will more than make up for the funding of this. It went to the Public Works Committee and they recommended accepting the quote for the cleaning.

4.B. Review and consider action on the Project Manual, Drawings and Estimate from Gilmore & Associates for overlaying Linden Avenue (13th Street to 14th Street) and 12th Street.(Linden Avenue to Hawthorne Avenue).
Discussion:
City Administrator Tom Ourada presented Gilmore & Associates' project manual and estimates for the overlay project on Linden and 12th Street. This went to the Public Works Committee and adding Ivy Avenue from 12th to 13th Street was suggested. The committee's recommendation was to accept the plans and estimates, and then see if they would add on the extra block for unit pricing after the bid letting.

4.C. Discuss and consider action setting a street name for former County Road 2400.
Discussion:
This went to the Public Works Committee and none of the 'Q' or 'R' tree names were very good, so City Administrator Tom Ourada suggested 'Dogwood' and the committee agreed.
