Councilman Neblett made a motion that the minutes of the regular meeting of March 15, 1988, be approved as submitted, seconded by Councilman Glenn and carried. Vicki Rhett, Junior Warden of the Christ Episcopal Church, addressed Council regarding the new Town parking lot to East Main Street. Expressed concern and requested that the Church be allowed to review and make comments on the plans for the parking lot and landscaping to assure them that the beauty of the historic architectural church and accessability of the parish hall is maintained. 8347 Mrs. Rhett was advised that the funds were available for the parking lot and the landscaping, and Council saw no problems with the church reviewing the plans before they are finalized as the plans will also be reviewed by the Main Street Design Committee and approved by the Architectural Review Board before Council takes action. CABLE TV Mr. Paul Bachow, Better Entertainment Cable, addressed Council in regard to their recent rate increase. Mayor Hancock requested Vice Mayor Neighbors to preside over this portion of the meeting. Mr. Bachow stated this cable system was built some 30 years ago and to date they had .spent over $800,000 upgrading the Pulaski system. A lot has been done to benefit the community. Things the Federal Government has directed them to try to do, to offer the most varied programming, and to reach the most amount of people. Councilman Glenn expressed his concern that the citizens had no choice and felt the company was making a mistake. Vice Mayor Neighbors stated the complaints he had received were from people on fixed incomes who could not afford the .increase, would have to have the cable removed from their homes, and felt this was a shame. Feeling from the public was that the tier was being forced on the subscribers who did not want it. Vice Mayor Neighbors offered the suggestion that the people be offered an option. Vice Mayor Neighbors thanked Mr. Bachow for addressing Council and expressed hope that they would ,look at the problem futher,to see if there was something that could be done. D. E. McKeever informed Council that Congressman Boucher was on a committee that reviews cable legislation and they are presently holding public hearings. Felt now was the appropriate time to draft a letter. 8348 April 5, 1988 Mr. .Terwilliger .was instructed to draft a letter, .based on the. '84 .legislation and .have for Council's .review at their .next .meeting. Doug Phelps, .Main Street Project Manager, requested that Council be interviewed by the_Main Street .Resource .Team on April 19 in order for the .Team to gaijiinsight into what issues the. local project should address during its term. Mr. McKeever advised. the interview .had .been scheduled on the. night. of a regular Council .Meeting at 6:00 p.m. Mr. Charlie .Maus, PFRWTA, stated the start up problems with the. pump station .had been a long and drawn out process .mainly because there .has been a lot of res- PEPPERS ponsible people involved. Prior to the last Authority .meeting, it .was .decided FERRY VIBRATION to disassemble one of the shafts to .determine if it .was assembled properly, which PROBLEM there .was one joint out of alighment, which .was corrected, but did not solve the. problem. Olver, Inc. decided before they .went any further to .have the. whole system analyzed by an independent specialist in the. area. Mr. .Maus stated he worked Inc 1 on Olocarting a specialist. Specialist was located a Virginia Tech and has completed his study. Included in the agreement was that all the work was to be done and a satisfactory pump station turned over to the Authority without additional cost to the Town or Authority. John Olver stated it had been difficult to find an expert in this magnitude of a vibration analysis. In a normal design of a pump station, Over works closely with Gould Pumps out of New York. Olver's Structural Engineers did the analysis, we designed the columns and as I understand it, what has happened is a two-fold problem; one is you have a vibration that has been set up in the pump station that normally you don't have, it is a natural frequency, the frequency of the structure that supports the bearings matches the pumps, so therefore, they hum and vibrate. We looked for an expert that would be unbiased. Gould Pumps had their experts in and we considered them biased, since they manufactured the pumps and they had looked at our supports and had no problem with them in the design process. We found one, Dr. Al Wicks, in the Mechanical Engineer Department at Virginia Tech. His speciality is rotating objects. As agreed with the Authority, we, Olver, Inc. would pay for his cost but would stay away, only supply the information he desired. We did not converse with him other than to provide him information, we did not travel with him, nor did the Authority go with him to the pump station. Stated a copy of Dr. Wick's report, stamped draft, had been forwarded to Mr. McKeever. In basic, he has concluded two things, one, (referred to Table, Figure II) dot on vertical axis shows existing connection where the existing support has a frequency/vibration, the dash line is your maximum pump range. In simple terms the system hums and vibrates because that frequency of the structure is at the same frequency as the pump system. It is a natural occurring thing in rotating objects, it's beautifully matched, it sets right in the middle or down at the lower end of what the pump station runs at, so what we had to do, and the pump station works fine, we just backed it up and don't allow it to run in the area that it vibrates. This is not the solution to the problem. Solution is to take it up in the far dot (referring to drawing) on the curve, where it says proposed connection fixed and by changing the support, only how the supports are connected, which indicates the supports are designed correctly, that the connection that no one realized, is the April 5, 1988 8349 point of the .problem. .Referring to Figure I, Mr, Olver indicated the beam connected to the concrete floor that.has,a clip angle that. is bolted down and attached to the beam and the beam goes up and attaches to the. bearings which are attached to the shaft. System to be changed and each one of the supports are now doing to have a base plate welded to it, as shown in drawing, will have gout put on it and will be regouted and drilled into the floor, that. will change the natural frequency. None of the structural members will be changed, no cross basing will be added; just a rework of the pin connection. The one issue not resolved is the shafts do not meet the specifications on one item only, half critical torque speed (speed of rotation). Dr. Wick's feels this might be a problem, but until further analysis is completed, we won't know. Stated Olver, Inc. had never insisted to date that they take the shafts out. We first wanted to analysis the problem. Feels the solution is going to be looking at a shaft replacement or retribution or_ whatever is equitable .and the Authority can agee to, after we make the attachement. Keep in mind the two things to protect you and us and. the Authority is that you have a retainage out on the contract and a performance bond, neither or which have been called. Mr. Olver is optomistic that we are near a solution. Included the pump station does work and is safe and secure, just can't operate at the lower ranges, therefore, does not work at the full range that it was designed and you don't have the full pump station you paid for. Councilman Johnston inquired if Gould had accepted this as a solution. Mr. Olver stated this was a variation of Gould's cross-bracing, but did not know if this proposal was acceptable to Gould. Councilman Graham asked when Olver thought the problem would be resolved. Mr. Olver stated he hoped at the next Authority meeting on April 7, they would have direction as to where to go. If we can obtain concurrence from Gould, we can do the structural changes starting in another two weeks or so. Then we will bring English Construction back and they will have to certify a vibration test, which has not occurred yet. We will make the corrections, do the vibration test, if everything works fine the only remaining issue is the half torque speed of the shaft, and felt this would be settled with a monetary issue. Councilman Graham stated is review he understood that the vibration test was supposed to have been conducted prior to completion of the pump, but was never made under Olver's supervision and inquired if this was true. Mr. Olver stated this was correct, it was an error. Included they got them back to do it and the test did not pass. They did not vibrate when installed, only after they were tightened down. Mr. Maus stated this has not been presented to the Authority, but based on what he has seen so far, and after further review, he would recommend that we pursue this approach with our recommendation being made to the Town for joint concurrence. 8350 April 5, 1988 ~~.

The stone walls in the Town need repair and several of these walls are not on the Town right-of-way, therefore, the Town cannot make the necessary repairs. The stone steps at Calfee were discussed and it was felt that the Town crews could handle these repairs. Chairman Neighbors stated the property owners would be encouraged to make the necessary repairs on the stone walls.

Felt it would be in the Town's best interest to do some type of road repair. HERITAGE Stated Committee had received complaints concerning noise and litter BUICK behind Heritage Buick. Heritage had agreed to put up a barrier when the conditional zoning was approved. Heritage has been contacted and indicated they would begin construction in the spring. D. E. McKeever stated the re-zoning was approved with Heritage offering good intention to install a barrier. In last correspondence in February, Heritage informed the Town that when spring arrived they would construct a wood fence. We have asked for a schedule as to when they will start the improvements. Chairman Neighbors stated it was planned to remove the fence around the parking lot on First Street and it is in the bond issue to have this parking lot paved. A. J. Smith has contacted the Town about a drain that ran under his building on Dora Highway, that has collapsed. ~+le are presently trying to determine who's responsiblity this is.

They have been asked to clean this area up. Trash problem on Rte. 99 across from the shopping center. discussed. The Public Works Department has cleaned this property up several times and we are presently trying to work something out to keep this corridor clean. Director of Public Works suggested that the Town have a 25 foot right-of-way, so-that we can go in and trim the bank. It appears that some of the wooden display ramps at Pulaski Motors are out over the sidewalk. Also the sidewalks need to be cleaned of gravel and debris. Staff was instructed to contact Pulaski Motors concerning these problems. Property owner at First and Pierce Avenue was contacted regarding trash blown up against his fence and was asked to correct this problem. Stop sign on Monta Vista Drive and Newbern Road was discussed. Residents are complaining about vehicles traveling at excess speeds. A yield sign is being installed to see if this slows the traffic down. At 5:18 p.m. the Planning Commission made the recommendation that the Comprehensive Revision of the Sub-Division Ordinance be approved. Also the Murphy ConditionalUse Application for a 4-unit apartment building be approved. Dr. Anneski informed Council that Mr..D'Ardenne had abstained from voting on the Murphy Conditional Use Application as he and Mr. Don Murphy work for the same company.
