On first reading the Board approved Bill 25-55 authorizing the mayor to sign a contract with Stockman Construction LLC for the 2025 rehabilitation of Station 30-5, in an amount not to exceed $243,927.

City Engineer Drew Bowman explained the project scope: a mechanical rehabilitation of the pump station and relocation of a gravity sewer main whose manhole sits below the lake’s high-water mark and allows water to infiltrate the sewer system during high lake events. Bowman said the relocation and rehab will stop that infiltration and reduce stress on the city’s sewer pumps.

Alderman Barela asked for clarification about which station was involved; Bowman said it serves the Land’s End condominium complex and sits in a back cove and is difficult to access. The board voted to approve the first reading by voice vote; the transcript shows a motion by Alderman Hoffman and second by Alderman Moroz. The item passed first reading; no amendments were recorded.

Next steps: staff will proceed with contract execution and construction scheduling; the transcript does not include a detailed construction timeline or funding source breakdown beyond the contract cap.
