BATH — City Council will meet on Wednesday to hear the second reading of an updated fire prevention ordinance and to hold a public hearing for a liquor license for Concinnity, LLC at 102 Front Street.

The council will also present a special award to Bath Police Officer Michael Lever, who retired in January after spending more than 43 years on the force.

Lever became a patrol officer in 1974 and was promoted to corporal in 1976. He was the department’s Officer of the Year in 1998.

Kyle Rosenberg will be appointed the city arborist and tree warden, and the council will decide whether to approve the purchase of a freightliner vacuum system for the Public Works Department.

The system costs $353,255, which will be paid for with money from the sewer bond approved by voters in November 2015.

According to Lee Leiner, director of Public Works, the primary use of the system is to clean catch basins, but the department also has other tasks that require using a giant vacuum.

“The basins get filled with sand used for anti-icing in the winter, as well as litter that gets carried by storm water,” Leiner said. “The accumulated material interferes with the flow of water which could then result in flooding or property damage.”

Leiner said the new machine allows the department to clean that material quickly, and this purchase is replacing an older version of the same piece of equipment.

The agenda also includes an executive session related to the Court Street right of way.
