The Grove Municipal Services Authority on Aug. 5 approved an agreement for engineering services with Holloway, Updike and Bellen Inc. for an areawide lift station rehabilitation project. The trustees approved the agreement by unanimous vote; the meeting minutes record no contract value, timeline, or contractor presentation.

The vote matters for wastewater infrastructure reliability: an engineered rehabilitation plan for lift stations typically informs budgeting, procurement, and construction phases. The meeting record contains only the motion to approve the agreement, with no recorded debate, public comment, or staff elaboration about project scope or cost.

Trustee Ivan Devitt moved to approve the agreement and Trustee Berwin Kock seconded the motion. The recorded vote was Andy Stewart — yes, Berwin Kock — yes, Ivan Devitt — yes; the motion carried 3-0. The minutes do not indicate any amendments to the agreement language or follow-up assignments to staff.

No dollar amounts, funding sources, or project schedules were mentioned in the minutes. For those details, the city will need to refer to the executed agreement or future staff reports; none were specified at this meeting.
