9. UTILITIES BUSINESS ITEMS
A. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BRIGHTON,
COLORADO, ACTING BY AND THROUGH ITS WASTEWATER ENTERPRISE,
APPROVING THE AGREEMENT FOR THE DELEGATION OF
PRETREATMENT/INDUSTRIAL WASTE CONTROL PROGRAM
RESPONSIBILITIES WITH THE METRO WASTEWATER RECLAMATION
DISTRICT AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE SAID AGREEMENT
ON BEHALF OF THE CITY
Mayor McLean read the title of the Resolution into the record.
City Manager Esquibel introduced Assistant Utilities Director Sarah Borgers.
Assistant Utilities Director Sarah Borgers explained that the Industrial Pre-Treatment Program is a
mechanism for a city or a wastewater treatment provider to be able to monitor for certain water quality
requirements for discharge into the wastewater system. This monitors heavy metals and medications
that a standard wastewater treatment is not well equipped to treat for. In the next couple years the City
will be contributing flows to the new Metro North Treatment Plant and once that happens the City will
fall under their permit for certain pre-treatment requirements. That City could choose to take on those
requirements itself and it would be fairly resource intensive. Metro is already set up for this and have
dedicated staff to handle this monitoring and if the City were to take on those requirements, Metro
would have to follow up and make sure the City was doing it correctly which creates duplicate work.
For this reason the majority of Metro members have already delegates this authority over to Metro. The
cost is free to the City since this is already a requirement for Metro they do not charge their members
for the service.
