The following action items passed by majority vote during the regular meeting of the Sanitation District No. 1 Board of Directors held Tuesday, October 20, 2020:
1. Lucity Software Maintenance Agreement
A renewal agreement with Lucity, Inc., was awarded in the amount of $52,968.44. This agreement is for three years, commencing in August 2021 and running through August 2024. The newly negotiated agreement locks in a favorable rate increase for the next three years, which will result in SD1 realizing significant savings over the duration of the contract.
SD1 uses the Lucity software package to operate its computerized maintenance management system (CMMS). This software package provides SD1 with a work order system, asset management system, program management system, system for federal environmental reporting, risk assessment as well as an employee time-management system. Other local public agencies also utilize Lucity as a CMMS tool.
SD1 Goals Advanced: Customer Satisfaction, Financial Viability, Optimal Infrastructure Management
2. Reservation of Sanitary Sewer Capacity
Three new requests for reservation of sanitary sewer capacity were approved at the October 2020 meeting.
The reservation of capacity program provides SD1 with knowledge of development and an opportunity to assess system capacity, track committed capacity in balance with system operations and capital improvement and provide developers assurance of capacity. This process benefits the communities served by SD1 by providing planning tools for economic vitality.
SD1 Goals Advanced: Financial Viability, Optimal Infrastructure Management, Stakeholder Support, Environmental Stewardship
3. Storm Water Private Cost-Share
Requests from the cities of Ft. Thomas and Highland Heights were approved during the October 2020 Board of Directors Meeting.
The SD1 Private Cost-Share Program is aimed at assisting Co-Permittees in addressing private storm water issues that may have a public impact. Only Co-Permittees may apply for financial assistance through the program. This program was developed because long before SD1 assumed control of the region’s storm water management, cities and counties owned and maintained storm water infrastructure; regulations were less stringent; drainage plans were not always a priority; and storm pipes were often inadequate or never formally dedicated to public ownership. The result is a storm system that has a mix of privately and publicly owned infrastructure that can become overwhelmed by wet weather events in some areas. Currently the SD1 reimbursement is one-third of the cost, with a cap of $10,000 per project.
