CONSENT AGENDA City Manager Fleming commented on Consent Agenda Item E —Approval of the 2014 Chemical Purchase for Water Treatment Plant Facilities from Siemens. He explained Siemens was not the only bidder. There were bidders on different chemicals, but staff recommended awarding the bid to Siemens for the chemical purchases. Public Works Director Kowar explained staff recommended Siemens because they have personnel in the area and provide a high level of service, including maintenance checks of the water treatment system. Staff believed Siemens offers a better value from the customer service aspect. They also require a smaller minimum order, which works well with the plant's configuration and the size of the tanks. Mayor Muckle moved to approve the consent agenda, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Dalton. All were in favor. Absent: Council member Lipton. A. Approval of the Bills B.
