Wellsville
considers city engineer applicants
By Jeremy Wilkins
February 4, 2004 | WELLSVILLE -- The engineering firms
of AQUA, Bush and Gudgell, Jones and Associates, Cache
Landmark and J-U-B were interviewed by the City Council
Wednesday night in the city office.
Each firm gave a presentation of why they would be
qualified to be Wellsville's new city engineer, each
presentation was followed by a round of questions from
Mayor Ruth P. Maughan and the council.
It was decided by the council not to vote on one of
the five engineering firms during the course of the
meeting.
The council voted unanimously in favor of becoming
the applicant city and recipient of a possible grant
for the American West Heritage Center. The Center is
currently run on septic tanks and needs a sewer system
to be able to expand the facility, and also needs access
to more water to meet current fire codes. If approved
for the grant, which is in the writing process, Wellsville
will be its recipient and pass it on to the American
West Heritage Center.
A unanimous vote was taken which granted approval
to J.D. Nyman, a Wellsville resident, for a septic tank
at the Nyman residence located at 300 West 785 South.
An executive session, not open to the public, was
held to discuss a potential contract for the engineering
firm to be selected.
Approval was also granted by the council for the payment
of city bills. Other items discussed by the council
were:
--Review of utility assessments.
--An update on the code being written which would
require water being transferred to the city upon annexation
and/or subdividing.
--An update on the study of limiting the number of
homes allowed in areas serviced only by the city springs.
--Department reports.
