A variance hearing was held for Jeffrey A. and Caley R. McNemee owners of real estate, to  wit: C.J. Jones Add., S20, T03, R31, Block 5, Lot 1, 517 S. Park for a variance from no set back of 20’ on southside of property to put a garage in same place as old garage.  There was one letter received regarding the variance concerned about letting some one build in the street right of way.  McNemee stated to old garage was approximately 1 and ½ feet into the street right of way.  Discussion was held to vacate 1 and ½ feet of street right of one in the block but this would take a legal description and normally if this happens the resident would pay the legal fees.  McNemee agreed he could move the garage 1 and ½ feet back from the old garage and be on his property line.  Ruhnke moved to approve the 20’ variance and allow the garage to be built on property line.  Hanlan seconded the motion.  Aye Ruhnke, Hanlan, Popple and Miller.  Nay Brissett.  Motion carried.  McNemee left the meeting.

Council moved to table the approval of the municipal water conservation plan until next meeting.

 

Council was read email from Evergy regarding metering on transformer loss compensation piece of this since Evergy are leaving the metering on the low side until a metering upgrade is warranted.  Due to the age of the transformers, we are unable to determine the transformer loss percentage on these specific units.  This is important because when Evergy owned the substation they applied a loss factor to the meter data in order to determine what the City’s true usage/demand was.  With the City owning the substation once we get the record of easement and the metering remaining on the low side of the meter, they need to factor that in by way of transformer low compensation.  Since they do not have the calculations we need, the City is agreeable to utilize the FERC approved loss percentages they would have used if Evergy sill owned the substation.  They will use the difference between loss factors D and E below the demand (0.0059) and K and L for energy (0.0063).  A table was provided showing the FERC approved loss factors they currently use.

When or if the City upgrades the transformers, Evergy could then use the manufacturer’s data to adjust the meter data accordingly for the new transformers.  If the City upgrades, we need to tell Evergy so they can adjust their setting

 

Once a metering upgrade is necessary, Evergy will no longer need to worry about any transformer loss compensation since the metering will be on the high side.

 

Electric project is trying to get a kickoff set up for this week.

 

The preliminary engineering report for the planning grant for water treatment plant was received May 20,2020 by the Bureau of Water.  They needed the waste stream summary review so the Amendment #2 with BG approved 5ht of May was sent to BG Engineers to get the PER done so the Plans can move forward hopefully for approval.
