REQUEST TO SPEAK

Written request to speak under suspended rules by Richard Wagner, 526 Edgewood Drive, regarding if Quincy drills for groundwater.

Rules Suspended

Ald. VanCamp moved the rules be suspended at this time to hear from the above individual. Motion carried.

Richard Wagner, 526 Edgewood Drive, has concerns if Quincy drills for groundwater. He stated, the city and all dwellings and businesses that use the water will see a significant change in the maintenance of any of their equipment that uses water, due to hard water. A water softener can be installed in every building that uses water with a cost between $400-$600 in homes and much greater for a high-volume business such as hotel/motel. Quincy lives over a great limestone deposit that can create a very hard water situation. He asked, if a well is drilled first, have the water tested for hardness before committing to putting the entire city to use it. He had a handout for the City Council.

Ald. Havermale moved the rules be resumed. Motion carried.

MOTION

Ald. Reis moved to allow the Quincy Notre Dame Football Committee to stencil their logo on Jackson, 8th to 12th, sometime in early August. They are requesting 30 traffic cones and to purchase yellow paint from Central Services. Motion carried.

The City Council adjourned at 7:43 p.m. on a motion of Ald. Havermale. Motion carried.
