Mammoth mayor offers ‘State of the Town’ for 2015
Copper Area News | Mayor Donald Jones
The Mayor and Councilman Brewer have been added to an ex-employee’s pending claim against the town.
The # 2 main water storage tank is being filled and should be online within the week. The job has been completed and is being reconnected at this time. The PW crew is doing an excellent job of getting the tank back online. Filling the tank has started. The contractor, MMI, did an excellent job and CAG also did an excellent job overseeing the project. I did the final inspection for both CAG and NCS Engineering.
I had the pressure tank at #2 tank tested at 50 locations for gauge thickness. Averages were .191. There were three areas that tested .171 and these were repaired. The cost of a $22,000 replacement tank was not an option and the repair saved the town the 22K cost of replacement.
There is a carryover of $16,000 and I have asked CAG to direct these funds to the town for administrative costs. CAG has agreed to this request. I feel that when the town receives grants for the town improvements there needs to be a maximum of 15 percent for administrative costs to the office and into the town general fund for the work done behind the scenes.
