Director Rice stated that the gentleman that currently farms the 6 acres that the City purchased has $825
invested in fall work in the property. He stated that he would like to know what Council wants to do either
lease for another year to for $1,000 or go out for bids.
After a brief discussion it was agreed to take it to City Council to offer the lease to the current farmer for
$1,000.00.
Public Works – Auction in the City Park
Director Rice stated that Sherman Roland would like to auction off a motor home with 100% of the proceeds to
the Wounded Warrior Fund. He stated that Mr. Sherman is renting a shelter in the park and he has asked us to
close off Pearl St. for the auction. He stated that this function is endorsed by the VFW.
Discussion took place and there was a concern over the Farmers Market functioning that day. Director Rice
stated that this wouldn’t interfere with the Farmers Market.
Public Works – Fireworks 2014
Director Rice stated that he would like to send out the letters for donations to the Fireworks Fund from local
businesses. He stated that he plans to use J&M Displays again this year and rent the land from Mark Anderson
for $100 to fire off the fireworks.

Mayor Palmgren proclaimed the month of May as Motorcycle Awareness Month.
Administration – General Liability Insurance
HRS Jill Laingen stated that the City needs to go out for RFP’s for the General Liability Insurance.
There was a short discussion confirming that this RFP would include Property, Casualty and Workers
Compensation insurance.

55
Administration – Event Liability Insurance
Consultant Hughes stated that this mainly applies to the Ice Cream Socials that are held in the City Park. He
stated that this creates an additional expense to the Organization that is causing some organizations to not be
able to participate in the Ice Cream Socials. City Clerk Phlypo stated that some organizations have contacted
me stating that the liability insurance requirement will make it impossible for them to participate.
Discussion took place and an option to requiring liability insurance was to keep the liability for the Ice Cream
Socials as part of the City’s exposure and not require it of the organizations.
Administration – Economic Development Incentives Revision
Consultant Hughes stated that the current TIF area allows for specific rebates of sales tax, utility bills and he
would like to expand it to City wide.
Administration – Review City Administrator Job Description and Ordinance
Mayor Palmgren stated that she would like to see an interim administrator in place for a period of about 5
months. She stated that this would give us time to look for a permanent one. She stated that she would like to
see the qualifications upgraded to a Master’s degree with 5 years of experience in Public Management and have
a strong financial background. John Philips who is a former City Administrator from Rock Island is assisting
the Mayor with information on the City’s search for an Administrator. Mayor Palmgren stated that the job
description and the current ordinance are included in the packet and if you would like to discuss it further you
can contact her.
Administration – Review of City Code regarding Protocol for Mayor Pro-Tem
City Attorney Thurman stated that Mayor Pro-Tem is on an as needed basis. According to statute a Mayor ProTem is appointed only in the event that the Mayor cannot perform their duties; he went on to say that in the
event that the Mayor is not available for a meeting then the Council would appoint a “Chairman” to run the
meeting for that night. Derke Price from Ancel Glink Law firm stated that actually the City Clerk can call the
meeting to order and then the Council can vote on a chairman for that particular meeting.
Administration – Summer Seasonal Employees & Fall Co-op Program
Director Opsal stated that he has Co-op students paint and mow and perform duties that he then doesn’t have to
have the higher waged employees perform. HRS Laingen stated that these are part-time employees and the
participants are guaranteed 15 hours a week through the school program.
City Attorney – Protocol for consulting City Attorney prior to outside legal counsel
Mayor Palmgren stated that she feels that the protocol needs to be any legal matter is brought to Virgil first and
he decides whether or not he needs to consult a municipal law source. She stated that Virgil is the current City
Attorney and is on retainer there is no reason to bypass him.
Electric Department – Declaring Surplus Equipment
Director Opsal stated that he would like to surplus two trailers that the Electric department has; a 1981 Barr
Trailer and a 1995 Reel Trailer. He stated that he would then like to purchase as a replacement a Single Reel
Trailer.
Public Safety – Special Event Liquor Licenses
Chief Piotrowski stated that there have been businesses that carry a current liquor license that would like to
have more special events during the year and therefore that they would like the City to consider increasing the
number of special event liquor licenses that it allows during the year. He stated also that we may need to
consider changing the application time period; the state requires 15 days and the City requires 45 days. He
stated that places that hold a package license would like to have tastings which would require it to change to
non-consumption on the premises to consumption on the premises. He stated that he and the City Attorney
would work on the changes.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
ROLL CALL
The City Council of the City of Geneseo met Tuesday, April 22, 2014 at the Council Chambers,
115 South Oakwood Avenue. Mayor Nadine Palmgren called the meeting to order at 8:54PM.
Aldermen Doug Crow, James Roodhouse, Jason Robinson, Carl Freeman, Keith Kennett, Robert
Wachtel, Howard Beck and Justin Snodgrass were in attendance, Also in attendance were City
Clerk Loree K. Phlypo, Directors Opsal, Rice, Building Inspector Mills, and Chief Piotrowski,
City Accountant Karen Brandau, Ancel Glink Attorney’s Margaret Kostopulos and Derke Price,
the press, present employees, retirees and residents.
Mayor Palmgren stated that she promised to save the tax payers money, give the citizens a voice,
and put an administrator in place. The idea to consolidate the City Council and the Committee of
the Whole was in an effort to save money. Employees would not have to attend two meetings
that hold a discussion at one meeting and just restate the item and vote at the other meeting. She
stated that she felt that it could be done in one meeting. She stated that the Special City Council
meeting agenda that was posted on April 17th which called for investigation into purported
changes to the meeting date of the Committee of the Whole was unnecessary as the meeting took
place as scheduled.
Mayor Palmgren stated that the environment has been hostile toward her in what she believes is
an attempt to control and silence her. She stated that it was her hopes to have the Committee of
the Whole and the City Council on the same night in an effort to get information out to the
Public. On Thursday the 17th Alderman Crow brought in an agenda wanting to censure the
Mayor and terminate one of her staff. After review by the City Attorney and the Mayor they
determined that it could open up the City to possible litigation to post the agenda identifying
them and the Deputy City Clerk who received the agenda was told not to post it. On Friday the
18th Alderman Crow and Wachtel posted it publically anyway and called the Police Department
over to witness it.
In an attempt to circumvent the personnel policy and discipline policy 3 Aldermen posted a
Special City Council Meeting Agenda identifying an employee. This agenda was then removed
and a second agenda was posted replacing the employee’s title with the word “employees”. She
stated that in Section 1.05 of the Personnel Manual it states; “City Council Members shall not
become involved in direct personnel matters except where provided within this manual”, this
reference is to salaried employees not hourly. Mayor Palmgren asked Aldermen Kennett who he
is investigating the Mayor or the employee. Aldermen Kennett stated that he is investigating the
actions of an employee as related to changing the meeting date of the Committee of the Whole
meeting as an ordinance violation. Alderman Kennett felt that the agenda that was posted was
permissible. Alderman Beck asked what the deadline for the Geneseo Republic was, Lisa Depies
stated that it is Tuesday at 5pm. The City Clerk stated that she had asked on Wednesday if Lisa
could hold a spot as has been requested before that there may be something that needs to go in

the paper. Alderman Snodgrass stated that the conversation that he had with the Mayor led him
to believe that the meeting item would probably be on the Committee of the Whole agenda for
discussion and then Friday when the Republic newspaper came out it was in there that the
meeting was cancelled. Mayor Palmgren stated that once something goes to press there is no
stopping it.
Derke Price stated that he was contacted by 3 Aldermen. The issue is whether the Mayor asked
the clerk to do this or whether the Clerk took it on her own initiative and the Mayor just said that
she is the one that asked her to do it. Derke Price stated that the reason for the specificity on the
agenda is due to the Johnna Mahoney case where she raised the same issue and the City paid
money to her.
Alderman Snodgrass stated that they don’t want to punish anyone. An email was received by the
Aldermen that the Committee of the Whole meeting was cancelled. Alderman Beck and
Snodgrass both had a conversation with the Mayor on the subject and Aldermen Snodgrass was
in favor of going back to one meeting but assumed that it would be on the Committee of the
Whole meeting agenda for discussion. Snodgrass stated that all we were asking is that you
respond with a I’m sorry I made a mistake and we will talk about it at the next meeting.
Alderman Snodgrass stated that the Mayor did not return emails or phone calls on the subject.
Mayor Palmgren stated that she had multiple calls into Alderman Wachtel and Kennett with no
response. She stated that according to the Open Meetings Act a regularly scheduled meeting can
be rescheduled with notification of 10 days.
City Clerk Phlypo stated that no one came in to talk to her about this. She stated that she has
never denied anyone anything and her door is always open.
Alderman Beck stated that he feels like we are just going to move in circles on this so he is going
to make a motion to adjourn.

Motion by Beck, second by Freeman to adjourn the meeting at 9:25PM.

Second Meeting
letter was sent from Jim Hughes stating to take the overage out of the Police
Pension levy. It wasn’t brought back to the City Council or re-voted on.
Alderman Beck asked do you mean that a different levy amount was applied then
what we voted on. Mayor Palmgren stated yes. Jim Hughes stated that Barb Link
wanted an answer right away. Alderman Kennett stated that they are in better
shape than they were. Police Retiree Tom Daly stated that the Police Pension
fund has been underfunded by the City for so long and now due to policy changes
the City is being forced to bring it up to date. The City always gives us less then
what we ask for. The police pension is solid due to their smart investing policies
not because of the City. Alderman Beck stated that he understands that an answer
was needed immediately by Mr. Hughes and that it was a technical issue and
difference of processes, but he would make a motion for the staff to find $6,000 to
give back to the Police Pension fund at the next City Council meeting. Alderman
Wachtel seconded the motion.

backed up on the server and City IT Dave Kepner stated that the backup was

Motion Carried
Henry County Tourism – Cathy Foes presentation, consideration of a request for a portion
of hotel tax
Cathy Foes from Henry County Tourism made a presentation to the City Council on what her
organization offers. Marketing for Geneseo would include tours, the sports market, and tapping
into the Hennepin Canal Renaissance for tourism, as well as the future passenger rail that is set to
have a stop here in town. The Chamber of Commerce promotes tourism in Geneseo within a 50
mile radius and Henry County Tourism would market Geneseo to the outside world. Tourism
growth is not immediate but takes steps to build it. The City gave the tourism group $7500.00
last year and this year they are asking for $21,000.00 as a 50% match to state grant funds, this is
the amount that Annawan, Galva, and Kewanee contribute and combined this would allow for a
larger grant to be written. With a contribution of $21,000.00 this would allow the making of a 3
minute commercial, the only stipulation is that it would be broadcast at least 50 miles away from
the area. There is growth potential for the current events such as Trains, Planes, and
Automobiles and the Christmas Walk. With the addition next year of the passenger rail Geneseo
will be very busy, this could be a destination stop for our events as well as to other areas.
Motion by Wachtel, second by Freeman to move the request by the Henry County Tourism
for a portion of the hotel tax to the next Committee of the Whole for further discussion.
VOICE VOTE. ALL AYES.
MOTION CARRIED.
CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF 2012 TAX LEVY BUDGET MODIFICATIONS
The County Clerk notified the City that the tax levy was over 105%. Jim Hughes sent a letter to
the County Clerk stating that the monies needed to come out of the police pension levy to bring it
down below the 105%. To replace the money that the police pension will be lacking it will come
out of the general fund as reported by the City Accountant. City Accountant spoke to Jim
Hughes within the last 2 weeks for a better understanding as to where the money will come from.
Tom Daly from the police pension board reports to the state what is levied and what is collected
and without all the levied money being collected this would change the funding ratios.
Alderman Snodgrass wanted to not vote on this, since the funding year isn’t over with yet there

Budget to the June City Council for approval.

Consideration to allocate to police pension fund the full amount of $210,000.00 budgeted
for the July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014 fiscal year.
Alderman Snodgrass felt that for clarity’s sake, because it was going to be transferred anyway he
would make the motion.
Motion by Snodgrass, second by Robinson to allocate to the police pension fund the full
amount of $210,000.00 budgeted for the July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014 fiscal year.

MOTION CARRIED.
Consideration of approval of an Interim City Administrator
Alderman Wachtel made a motion to delay this item. Alderman Beck struggles with the wording
and wanted clarification as to what was being voted on. City Attorney Thurman clarified the
item saying that it was consideration of approval of the process to move forward to select a City
Administrator and move to City Council for approval. Alderman Robinson felt that there wasn’t
enough information on the process of hiring an administrator. Mayor Palmgren assured
Robinson that all the emails on the process that were sent out to all aldermen he received also.
Alderman Beck requested that the next interviews were more open with information to the
aldermen not on the committee. Alderman Wachtel had a problem with the job description and
not knowing what duties they will be responsible for. Alderman Beck stated that this would just
be to declare that the City has a vacancy in this position. Mayor Palmgren sited legal issues with
hiring a contracted administrator versus a temporary employee in that position, as a contract
employee they cannot handle personnel issues and as a temporary employee they can, so the City
needs to be careful as to what capacity they bring someone in under.
Motion by Snodgrass, second by Freeman to approve the position of interim City
administrator.
VOICE VOTE. ALL AYES.
MOTION CARRIED.
CONSIDERATION TO ALLOW THE MAYOR TO SIGN AND THE CITY TO ENTER INTO A LEASE WITH
DEAN OLSON TO FARM THE 6 ACRES PURCHASED BY THE CITY FOR THE YEAR 2014 IN THE
AMOUNT OF $1,000.
Alderman Freeman thought that a thousand dollars was a low fee and Director Rice stated that
because of the location and small acreage that this is what was charged in the past. Alderman
Beck felt that the length of the lease needed to be changed to December 1, 2014 or when the
crops are off the field. Attorney Thurman thought that a letter indicating that Mr. Olson should
get permission be for any fall work is done would be in order also.

HRS Laingen stated that she is waiting to get the approval to start looking at the applicants.

Seasonal then would become a Co-op employee in the fall when school starts. Alderman Crow
asked about the paragraph on the job description that says that they will 15 hours a week in
conjunction with the Geneseo School District and how can they be Seasonal. The seasonal
positions have a different job description that they would fall under. Alderman Kennett asked if
this would then exclude retirees from being able to work Seasonal and Director Rice said that

Consideration of protocol for consulting the City Attorney prior to outside legal counsel
City Attorney Thurman addressed the council by saying that there are some areas that are not his
expertise and that he would be the first to say if he felt that an issue was out of his expertise and
that it needed to be looked at by outside council. Review of the Charter showed that under
Article 5, Section 1 the City Council appoints the City Attorney, whereas the Municipal Code
allows the Mayor to appoint the City Attorney. The Special Charter provisions take precedence
over the Municipal Code except under a few exceptions where the Municipal Code says it
supersedes the Charter. Election law is one of those exceptions due to the process needing to be
standardized. The Charter appointment is limited to the City Attorney with regards to attorney’s
that would handle specialized issues there are statutory provisions and section 8-7-1b of the
Municipal Code says the Corporate Authority can appoint special City Attorney’s to handle
special matters and can do so for a period of time of over a year but only the length of the term of
the Mayor that is sitting when that particular attorney is hired. Corporate Authority is clearly
defined in case law to include the Mayor and City Council. The former Mayor and City Council
clearly provided for occasions when outside legal Counsel was needed. Technically the way the
statute reads that ends when that Mayor’s term is over. We don’t have anything with the current
Corporate Authority showing that they have hired outside Counsel at this point. City Attorney
Thurman stated that he has 34 years of City experience and he would like to have a proper
17

City Council

protocol in place that says that any issues that come up that he is approached first to decide if it’s
within his area of expertise. He would like the opportunity to make that judgment. According to
Statute 8-7-1b it doesn’t allow for 3 Councilmen to hire outside legal Counsel for the City.
Alderman Beck asked that a draft for the Protocol be brought to the Committee of the Whole for
wording review. Alderman Snodgrass handed out an ordinance that he engaged Ancel, Glink to
create pertaining to the Authorization of the Aldermen of the City Retaining Independent
Legislative Counsel. Alderman Snodgrass made a motion to move this ordinance and whatever
documents that Virgil felt he needed to the Committee of the Whole, Alderman Wachtel
seconded it. Mayor Palmgren shared an Ancel Glink bill that she received that covered the
Committee of the Whole and Special City Council meetings that Aldermen asked them to attend.
This bill totaled $6,037.50.
Alderman Wachtel called forward Clarence Johnson in consideration of his time. Mr. Johnson
wanted to lodge a complaint with Building Inspector Mills about a roofing job site that he feels is
not permitted by out of town contractors. Mayor Palmgren assured Mr. Johnson that since Mr.
Mills was not at the meeting that she would have Mr. Mills call him and address his concerns.

Consideration for approval to purchase Public Safety radios
After reviewing the current police department repeater system it appears that a digital system
may have better capabilities for the Police Department officer’s safety. Chief Piotrowski would
like explore options to switch to a digital repeater system and the replacement of mobile radios
may be needed also. The 911 board requested that we use a standard analog radio system and
would like the systems to be compatible with the PSAPs of Kewanee and Henry County. If the
City commits to maintaining the 911 PSAP in Geneseo the 911 board has approved 50% of the
total cost of the system.

Chamber of Commerce Music Licensing for Government Entities Presentation
Brian DeJohn presented an option for licensing to play music downtown. There are 10 speakers downtown so
that music can be played during special events. In the past the licenses have been paid for individually. This
proposal is for Music Licensing for Government entities and is a contract for a year. The cost is based on
population. Our current population would require a fee of $330 per year with any event that generates over
$25,000 in gross revenue there is a 1% fee. Brian would like the City to consider taking entering into this
agreement and the Chamber would pay the fee.
Alderman Beck asked that instead of taking one vote to move everything to City Council that they vote after
each item so that it doesn’t get confusing.

CSO Fowl within the City Limits
CSO Dennis Mallum is charged with the task of enforcing the City ordinances and as it sits now there is no
ordinance specifically that applies to keeping fowl within the City. City ordinance now states that if you have
5 or more acres then you are considered a farm and you can keep fowl. Resident Kristin Mortenson started a
petition to allow 6-8 chickens to be kept within the City limits. She along with several other residents attended
the meeting and are in support of keeping chickens. It was stated that why should someone be limited if they
can’t afford 5 acres. They believe that everyone should have access to natural organic chicken eggs. Kristin
stated that the parameters would be outlined coops would have to be kept clean, they would have to be a certain
distance away from neighbors, and no roosters. Supporters of chickens within the City limits stated that a few
chickens don’t equal farming. Kristin stated that she has heard more complaints about multiple barking dogs
and nothing about the chickens that are in town. There are several Cities within the Quad Cities that allow
chickens within the City limits, examples are Silvis, Moline and Rock Island. Mayor Palmgren asked Ms.
Mortenson if she could come back to a Committee of the Whole meeting with some parameters for the
ordinance that would allow fowl within the City Limits. Alderman Beck asked for examples of ordinances from
local towns that have voted to allow chickens within their City Limits.

direction through an ordinance with parameters based on profit/non-profit status, type of event and basically

for clarifications on the duties and that they seem pretty basic if we have a full time IT guy on staff. Director

could provide. This proposal is for $115 an hour, the City currently uses Orbis and they charge $125 an hour.

Rice stated that the architectural drawings are almost complete and that they are putting together a total property
picture before they start the project. Once they have everything ready they will then pay a $250 fee and take the
plans to the Plan Commission. City Attorney Thurman stated the in Paragraph 3 there is a time period that may
have to be extended to keep in compliance with the agreement. Mayor Palmgren asked about the 90% rebate on
sales tax that they are going to receive and Alderman Kennett stated that it would be 90% of the sales tax that
Save-a-Lot produced so it would be tax that we wouldn’t have had without them. He stated that there was a
marketing study completed and between 15-20% of Fareway’s current business will probably go to Save-a-Lot
but also the leakage of business to the Quad Cities would slow down and stay local. The audience asked how
many employment positions would be created with this store. Alderman Kennett stated that this would add
approximately 20 FT/PT jobs to the area.

Revised Economic Development Incentive Ordinance
City Attorney Thurman stated that this ordinance is geared toward retail businesses and that it would follow the
same procedure as it currently does. This would include new or existing businesses. It would expand to City
wide and not just be for the downtown area. Alderman Freeman asked if there had been any feedback from the
downtown businesses. Alderman Kennett wanted to focus on the downtown but have the option to extend
incentives to City wide. Alderman Beck felt that it needed broader clarification.

to pay for itself. City Attorney Thurman stated that Munices works but so did the court system. Alderman

Protocol for consulting the City Attorney prior to contacting outside legal counsel
City Attorney Thurman stated that he made it clear at the last meeting that an item that needs legal counsel
should be discussed with him and let him determine if it is within his expertise or not. This should be
determined on a case by case basis and then if it is determined that outside legal counsel is needed then the
Aldermen can vote as they wish. He stated that the ordinance that was submitted allows an alderman to call
Ancel/Glink if they don’t get the answer that they want. He stated that part of the turmoil can be avoided and
the arguments can be curtailed by not calling outside counsel to come to the meetings. Alderman Robinson
stated that he reviewed the last 5 years’ worth of invoices from Ancel/Glink and he feels that the billing is very
descript. Alderman Crow stated that they saved the City money in change orders. Alderman Beck feels that the
Protocol should include that the City Administrator would be the go to person to the City Attorney. Alderman
Wachtel stated that he felt that Virgil should have reviewed the Special City Council Agenda that the Mayor
24
2525
posted, since it contained accusatory statements against Aldermen. Ancel/Glink Attorney Derke Price stated
that there was nothing wrong with that agenda it was worded appropriately and the Mayor had every right to
post it, just like the agenda that the aldermen posted that named the Mayor and City Clerk was legal due to the
precedence that had been set with the Mahoney case.

time finding farmers that will take the sludge. If it was pressed there would be more options for disposal.
Regulations are getting stricter and more technical with all the possible pharmaceuticals that are in the sludge.
The current wastewater plant was designed to dry sludge but the equipment is old and doesn’t operate quite
right. Director Rice stated that he toured the new facility in LeClaire Iowa and they have a Rotary Fan press, it
leaves a smaller foot print and gives you more options for disposal. Director Rice stated that he would like to
get this approved in concept and the final estimated cost is $676,976.00

Re:
Digested Sludge Dewatering Study
Introduction
The City of Geneseo operates a wastewater treatment plant that digests biosolids produced from
wastewater treatment in an anaerobic digester. Sludge from the digester must be disposed of on a regular
basis to maintain operations. The existing plant was designed to remove excess water from the sludge
using vacuum assisted drying beds with the resulting sludge cake being land filled or land applied.
However, the drying beds proved problematic and are not being used. The operator has been disposing
of the digested sludge in its liquid state by land application. Because the plant does not have sufficient
liquid sludge storage capacity it is difficult to dispose of on agricultural land in the proper seasonal time
windows. The City has had some resistance from the agricultural community regarding the application of
liquid digested sludge due to soil disruption caused by sludge incorporation (disc injection) into the soil.
Therefore, the City has decided to investigate the disposal of the digested sludge in a landfill as a cake
solid from a new dewatering operation. This study will evaluate two different dewatering technologies,
rotary fan presses and screw presses, for possible incorporation into the existing Sludge Building.
Design Basis
The wastewater treatment plant produces approximately 600,000 gallons per year of digested sludge
which is 4.0% to 4.5% dry solids by weight which equates to approximately 200,000 pounds/year of dry
solids. Plant staff would like to dewater this annual sludge quantity by running the proposed dewatering
equipment one day every other week for 6 to 8 hours or 156 to 208 hours per year. This results in a
minimum dewatering equipment hydraulic capacity of 48 gpm and minimum dry solids capacity of 962
pounds/hour. Operation of the dewatering operation in this mode may negatively impact compliance
with the plant’s NPDES limitation for ammonia nitrogen. If ammonia nitrogen concentration in the
plant effluent spikes upward following a dewatering operation, it may be necessary to operate the
dewatering unit more frequently for a shorter period of time. No dewatered cake storage area is needed
as the cake produced will be hauled directly to a landfill rather than stored onsite.
The existing centrifugal Fairbanks Morse sludge transfer pump will need to be replaced with a positive
displacement pump (progressive cavity or rotary lobe) to overcome the pressure within a dewatering
system while maintaining a consistent flow rate. The sludge line between the transfer pump and the
67
6868
Wastewater Treatment Plant
Digested Sludge Dewatering Study
City of Geneseo
Sludge Building is assumed to be in good shape and is not expected to require replacement so no site
work is anticipated. Wash water is available via an existing nonpotable line with 55 psi of pressure.
Filtrate from the dewatering equipment will be returned to the plant via the existing vacuum filtrate
pumps. An emulsion polymer feed system will be added to the building to flocculate the sludge. The
Sludge Building HVAC system is assumed to be adequate and therefore no modifications are proposed.
Dewatering 7,698 lbs/day of solids at 4% solids concentrations to 20% solids would result in
approximately 30 to 40 cy/day of dewatered sludge cake being produced. Dewatered cake would be
transferred from dewatering equipment to a roll-off container using a shaftless screw conveyor.
Rotary Fan Presses
Liquid sludge and polymer are mixed and fed
into a flocculation tank before entering the
fan press itself. Sludge flows into the inlet
end of a circular annular space between two
perforated or slotted plates. The “fan”
referred to in the name is simply a circular
array of plate supports that are externally
visible on some models. The dewatering
pressure is provided by the feed pump and is
regulated by the press’s rotational speed and
an adjustable discharge orifice. As sludge
turns to cake in the machine it is conveyed
by friction with the rotating filter plates to
the discharge chute. Filtrate flows through
the plates towards the outside of the
enclosure (often referred to as a channel).
Units can be fitted with multiple channels to
increase dewatering capacity.
Typical rotary fan press performance ranges and average performance are presented in the following
table. The average performance values listed will be used for further evaluation in the absence of pilot
test data.

Screw Presses
As shown to the right, the screw
press is a simple, slow moving
mechanical device. Similar to the
rotary fan press, polymer and
sludge are first flocculated ahead of
the
dewatering
equipment.
Dewatering is continuous and is
accomplished first by gravity
drainage at the inlet end of the
screw. Then the sludge volume is
reduced as the sludge is pressed
against a screen basket by the screw
from the inlet to the discharge end
of the press. Filtrate passes through the screen basket and is collected in a drainage pan while cake
sludge is discharged from the end.
Typical screw press performance ranges and average performance are presented in the following table.
The average performance values listed will be used for further evaluation in the absence of pilot test
data.

Recommendation
Figure 1 below shows the cumulative present worth of the two dewatering technologies considered.
Equipment maintenance costs with either of these two technologies are expected to be minimal and
assumed to be equal for this analysis. Manufacturer maintenance requirement correspondence is
included in Appendix A.
Figure 1: Alternative Present Worths
Initial cost for the fan press is less than the initial cost of the screw press. The higher cake solids
concentration (resulting in lower disposal costs) and lower polymer costs associated with the fan press
further enhance the fan press being the more economical choice. The smaller foot print required for a
fan press also lends itself better to installation within the existing Sludge Building.
Based on these considerations we would recommend the installation of a fan press for sludge dewatering
over a screw press for this application. We strongly recommend the City conduct pilot testing with fan
press manufacturers to better determine expected performance characteristics using actual conditions
prior to design and construction.

Tom,
The scrapper blades and deflector should be replaced after 8,000 hours. I would not consider
that “major” maintenance since it costs about $1,100 per channel and takes about 2 hours
per channel. The screens should last between 45,000 and 50,000 hours, that would probably
be the major repair time frame.

Maintenance Response
Aric
Below are some common maintenance practices from Prime.
Every 2000 hrs. or so you have to change the scraper cap. Takes about an hour per channel.
Every 10000 hrs or so the center seal would need to be evaluated to see if it needed changed
and about every 3000 hrs or so the radial seals need to be evaluated to see if they needed to
be changed. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks.
Please let me know if need more. Any further discussion about a Pilot?
Thanks

Hello Bob,
Interesting timing on your question. We just discussed this when I was in NC last week. The
brush is rated at 8,000 hours. That is the only item I would regard as “major”. Due to the
brush/ wiper the auger and basket never need to be maintained or replaced as with similar
screw press designs.

Dewatering Screw Press
Geneseo, IL
Schwing Bioset Inc.
Scope includes:
1. The SBI Screw Press system is designed for continuous dewatering of flocculated slurry. The
system consists of a Screw Press dewatering unit, reaction tank, progressive cavity sludge
feed pump, liquid polymer blending system, and control panel.
2. The Screw Press dewatering unit compresses and dewaters flocculated slurry using a screw
rotating at very slow speed in a perforated screen. The filtrate will discharge from a drip tray
below the perforated screen into a discharge pipe. Access doors allow a direct view of the
dewatering process. The simple operating principle is achieved with only a few functional
component groups. Slow movement and the high quality design of the structural components
guarantee a high service life.
3. Press dewatering system is powered using a Premium efficient, TEFC motor. Variation of
the Screw speed is achieved with VFD (480V/3Ø/60Hz). (VFD, motor, and speed reducer
included)
4. For general housekeeping purposes the back washing cycle cleans the screens automatically
(generally 1x/day for less than 5 minutes). Dewatering operations are not interrupted during
washing cycle. Washwater flow required is 30 gpm at 45 psi or greater, duration is 2 – 3
minutes.
5. Air compressor provided for discharge pressure cone actuator and movement of wash ring.
6. Effective flocculation is achieved in a mixing reaction tank that is part of the Screw Press. It
is a closed design with paddle and flow breakers for effective mixing and gentle transport of
the flocks.
• VFD, TEFC motor, and speed reducer included for reaction tank mixer.
• Diluted/activated polymer from the polymer feed system enters sludge pipe at tee
upstream of Sludge Flocculation Tank.
7. Magnetic sludge flowmeter and reaction tank pressure sensor included for control of sludge
feed to Screw Press. Magnetic sludge flowmeter to be installed between sludge feed pump
and reaction tank.
8. Includes progressive cavity sludge feed pump for the rated service. (VFD, motor, and speed
reducer included)
9. Includes liquid polymer blending system for the rated service.
• Polymer system delivered as a pre-assembled skid complete with progressive
cavity polymer pump, polymer/water variable speed mixer, motors, NEMA 4X
local control panel, and all internal wiring and plumbing.
10. Screw Press is shipped fully assembled including motor and speed reducer.
11. The Screw Press must be located above the discharge cake conveyors (cake discharges
continuously from bottom of press). This quote does not include discharge cake conveyors
or supports to elevate presses, if necessary. These must be requested if these are to be added
to the SBI scope of supply.

CITY COUNCIL
JUNE 10th, 2014
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: Public Works
PRESENTER: Public Works Director, Klint Rice
SUBJECT: Park and Cemetery Mowing Equipment.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Both the Park and Cemetery Divisions have 2 John Deere 1445’s with over 2000 hours. These units are
used daily in both facilities and the Park unit is equipped with a cab and front mount snow blower. It is
time to look at replacement of one or possibly both units.
With the heavy volume of grass, it is time to look into an alternate deck and bagger for the John Deere
X749. This unit is used in the parks and on the boulevards, and the bagger will help with fall clean up
and keep the grass out of the streets during the summer months.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff would like to meet with the local John Deere dealer and begin discussing the best options and best
value approach for replacement of the 1445’s and get a firm price on a new deck and bagger for the X749.
Staff will return to Council in June with quotes and ask for approval of purchase out of the 2014/15
budget.
BUDGET IMPACT:
$25,000 - $30,000 out of the 2014/15 budget – line item 01-5.020.800.1223
