Council approves purchase of sewer televising equipment; districts to share cost
Summary
The council approved the purchase of sewer televising equipment, with district partners covering portions of the cost and staff indicating budget authority is in place; no district objections were recorded.
The Urbandale City Council approved a purchase for sewer televising equipment to support pipe inspection and maintenance. Public Works and utility staff explained the purchase, noting the project budgeted $160,000 with expenditures up to $185,000 anticipated; partner sewer districts will share about $25,000 of the cost.

Council discussion included whether the district contribution would affect other purchases; staff said the districts’ payments were included in budgets and that the purchase was expected to proceed. A motion to approve council letter 8248 passed.
