     II.      Chairman Haynie gave the statement of compliance with the notification provision of the Freedom of Information Act.

 

   III.      Approval of Three Phase, Trailer Mounted Generator

 

Mrs. Meyer stated that the staff is recommending the second low bidder due to the fact that the apparent low bidder Godwin Pumps did not meet the specifications.  Godwin Pumps took exception to all generator mounted receptacles and power cord assemblies which are required to make the unit compatible with existing GMD pump stations.  Commissioner Monaghan asked what it means to take exceptions.  Mrs. Meyer said that the low bidder actually states that they are taking exceptions to all of the generator mounted receptacles and power cord assemblies which means that they are not going to supply them.  The low bidder is bidding their basic unit and is not customizing it to what our specifications stated. 

 

Commissioner Hancock moved and Commissioner Smith seconded the motion to award the bid for the trailer mounted generator to the second low bidder, J & T Service in the amount of $41,998.95.  The motion was approved.

 

  IV.      Minutes

 

Commissioner Watts asked if the commission meeting minutes are available on the internet.  Mrs. Meyer said that currently they are not available.  Commissioner Monaghan said that he has spoken to Jeff Auman and all Metro needs to do is provide Jeff with a copy of the approved minutes.  Mrs. Meyer said that the website is under construction and was not sure if Metro wanted to place the minutes on the website yet.  Commissioner Monaghan asked what is not complete in regards to the website.  Mrs. Meyer said that some work has been done on the website, but some of the department information has changed.  Metro still needs to meet with Jeff and Ken regarding the entire website.  Some of the information on the website needs to be updated.  Chairman Haynie asked if we could keep a count of how many visitors we have on our website.  Mr. Waldrep said that is currently being done.  Commissioner Monaghan stated that it is hard to find a link for Metro on the County’s website.  Commissioner Monaghan said that CPW has already spoken to the County on several different occasions regarding the website.  Commission Hancock said we should also use the local television channel for advertisements. 

 

     V.      Rate Study

 

Commissioner Monaghan asked when the Board is going to discuss the rate study.  Manager Coleman said that Metro is obligated to have a rate change of 9% by January 1, 2007.  Manager Coleman said it is the structure of the rates that needs to be finalized.  Manager Coleman said the budget for FY 07 has a 9% rate increase starting mid-year.  Commissioner Monaghan said that the board requested Daryl Parker to review the master meter list and he did not.  Manager Coleman said that Daryl has received some information from CPW and it is not 100% complete.  Commissioner Monaghan said that CPW was under the assumption that they provided Daryl with all of the information that he needed.  Manager Coleman said that he was under the impression that Metro was going to adopt the same minimum structure that CPW has.  Metro does not have a way to administer the different type of minimums without CPW doing it.  Manager Coleman said that Daryl had not completed reviewing the master meter information to add to this report.  Commissioner Monaghan asked for a date from Daryl Parker as to when the master meter information will be ready for the Board to review. 

 

  VI.      With no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 1:10 pm.
