The proposal for the waste water treatment facility in Bertha was put on hold this month because there was not a full council available to read the proposal from Rieke, Carroll, Muller, Associates, Inc. (RCM). Once again Jim Miller and Michael Foreman from RCM were on hand at the meeting to discuss the proposal and answer questions from the council. The cost for RCM to do the planning is approximately $24,800 and it will take around 200 days to complete.
