NEW BUSINESS
Commissioner Schultz asked if there were any measurable results of the new Aqua Phyd System.
Dave Johansen stated there will be a learning curve on usage amount. If the system works like it
was advertised, the water usage should eventually go down and water should be able to penetrate
the soil better. Latest compaction tests show some improvement.

concessionaire's financial records. Michael Lautenbach stated, per the agreement, the City receives
monthly financial summary reports.
