The City of Ione will be holding a special meeting on Tuesday October 30th to address several issues, one of which includes the Wastewater treatment options for the City. The meeting will begin with a discussion surrounding the First-Time Homebuyer Program the city is working to administer and then move right into the sticky issues regarding City’s wastewater treatment and disposal options. To assist in the process the City hired Lee and Ro, to evaluate the cities current treatment capabilities, as well as provide future direction for treatment. Bob Godwin of Lee and Ro, has been working closely with the City and has developed 12 options that at this point that are possible, however the City staff and council must narrow the possibilities down to 3 to 4 preferred options. At the meeting on Tuesday the Council will be reviewing Godwin’s report, taking public comment on the proposed solutions, and then hopefully narrowing down the options to the possible 3 best solutions, or 4 at the most, for the city. The public is invited to attend and learn more about what challenges the City is facing when it comes to wastewater treatment, and express their opinions about the proposed options. The special meeting will be held at the City Council Chambers at 5pm.
