City Department Updates
continued from page 5
• Staff received a quote from our IT consultant
for offsite back up of the City’s servers. Our
current backup system is onsite and while
it protects against server failure, it would not
eliminate the loss of data in the case of a fire.
• Public Works submitted a quote for a new
tractor. The Finance Director is currently
exploring financing options that would best
benefit the City. The cost would be shared
with several departments that would utilize the
tractor.
• The City has posted an ad for a Public Works
Utility Worker position. This is a full time
position and
once
filled,
there
will
be three full
time staff and
one 1/2 staff
dedicated to
Public Works.

Public Works
• Public Works continued with pumping of the
sewer lagoons to gain as much storage as
possible for the summer.
• Sewer pump station #2 generator needed
service again this week as it was found to have
a faulty fuel pump again.
• The Lake pump was turned on again as the
river is still flowing high enough.
• Staff installed two new water services. One on
5th Ave. and one on Clatsop St.
• Public Works assisted Parks staff with
installation of new fence at new Spencer Park.
Final completion will be after the temporary
fence is removed next month.
• Public Works Foreman met with ODFW at the
water plant to discuss a possible cost share
improvement to the intake screen. This project
would include the installation of an automatic
valve that would flush the intake screen when
leaves or debris begin clogging it.
