City council to vote on water treatment
The city council will be voting on a $32,000 change order for the Charleston Wastewater Treatment Plant Tuesday.
The change order will provide the treatment plant with a new valve that will improve the plant.
The new value is part of the $7 million improvement project for the wastewater treatment plant, Mayor John Inyart said.
David Collard, the Charleston wastewater superintendent, said the wastewater improvement project has been underway since December 2009.
Collard said the change order would not provide the facility with a new valve, but the change order will provide the plant with a new set of decelerators.
The Charleston Wastewater Treatment Plant is located at 1200 West Madison Ave. and Cury Construction is the contractor for the wastewater improvement project.
Also, the annual city audit review presented by Joyce Madigan is scheduled for the beginning of the meeting, said Inyart.
Joyce Madigan, a partner in the accounting firm of Gilbert, Metzger and Madigan of Charleston, conducted the annual city audit review.
“Madigan will say during her presentation that she found no irregularities,” Inyart said. “The money has gone where we say it has.”
The council will be voting on renewing the contract of Excel Carpet Care.
The city of Charleston has utilized Excel Carpet Care for its janitorial services.
Excel Carpet Care currently cleans the Municipal Building and Recreation Department, the Charleston Police Department, and the police training facility and the Lincoln Douglas Debate Museum.
The contract will begin May 1 and will continue until April 2012.
Excel Carpet Care will receive $2,033 per month with additional charges for cleaning stripping and waxing of all tiled floors and for carpet cleaning.
Inyart will re-appoint Barb Marquis to the Fire and Police Board of Commissioners.
Marquis has served as the fire and police board of commissioners for six years, Inyart said.
Inyart will also be appointing Jeff Vanatta to the Board of Zoning and Appeals.
Inyart said that Vanatta is qualified for the position because he is familiar with the real estate business.
The city council will meet at 7:30 p.m. at the City Hall.
