It was felt by some that perhaps
the sewerage treatment plant
should be known as the 18th al
ternate. It was agreed that the
sewerage treatment plant would
not be listed as an alternate and
if the low bid proved excessive as
a result — then the city is better
off with no sewer system than
with one which provides for no
treatment of the waste. Lack of
a plant would force the city to
pipe waste into the Snake River
or into the ocean . . . both of which
proved distateful and completely
out of the question to the Coun
cil members. Much discussion
was held over the fact that the
Philleo firm had projected a cost
figure for the treatment plant of
71 to 72 thousand dollars, accord
ing to Councilman Doyle. They
now kick around a figure of 123
thousand which was incomprehen
sible to the Council members.
8. It is revealed that Amos J.
Alter, of the sanitation division of
the State Department of Health, in
Juneau, is now concerned about
the water source. It is proposed
that the water be drawn from the
Snake River in the vicinity of the
Airfield terminal. Numerous tests
have been made of this water and
apparently his concern is not based
on any information which the
Council has been made aware of
to date.
9. Philleo Engineering lists the
proposed new fire hydrants as al-‘
ternate No. 9. This was unaccep
table to the Council and they
agreed that this alternate should
be moved back to No. 17. All con
curred that the cost to the city, of
the installation of hydrants at a
later date, would be considerably
in excess of the cost when done
at the time of the utilidor instal
lation and that other alternates
should be deleted before these all
important fire hydrants.
10. The date set for the opening
of the bids is now January 7.
The date set for the awarding
of the contract is now January 14.
The date set by the HHFA upon
which the City of Nome must
possess matching funds in amount
of $475 thousand is now January
15.
The date set by the HHFA for
on-site labor bv a contractor is
now January 21.
Mayor Wilke has flown to Se
attle where he will deliver 145
thousand in revenue refunding
bonds for Nome Light and Power
Utilities. These will be signed by
the Mayor while in Seattle, and
deposited for refunding on Jan
uary 1st. The total bonded in
debtedness of the Nome Light
and Power is now $745,000.
While in Seattle, Mayor Wilke
will confer with various officials
regarding the several aspects of
the sewer and water project.
