Council approves several operations items: wastewater service contract, clock repairs and a seasonal hire
Summary
Council approved a Chemscan service contract for wastewater plant maintenance (not to exceed $9,900), authorized interior repairs to the boulevard clock (not to exceed $9,485), and hired a part-time seasonal employee for document destruction work.
At its April 7 meeting the South Beloit City Council approved several operational items including a maintenance contract for the wastewater plant, repairs to the boulevard clock and a part-time seasonal hire for records work.
Public works staff requested authority to contract with Chemscan for custom services at the water/wastewater treatment plant not to exceed $9,900. Staff said Chemscan performed a longer, more detailed calibration visit the previous year and the vendor’s work keeps plant instrumentation and sampling equipment running properly; the $9,900 is a not-to-exceed authorization to cover possible parts (solenoids and similar components).
The council also approved internal repairs to the boulevard clock’s mechanical components at a cost not to exceed $9,485. Staff proposed restoring the clock’s internal timepiece, master clock controller and junction box now, and delaying exterior cosmetic work until a later budget year, citing coordination with IDOT roadwork in 2027.
Separately, the council authorized hiring Amanda (Amanda Nelson) as a part-time seasonal employee at $15 per hour to assist with document destruction and records management; staff said the role will relieve backlog of paper records and will be supervised by the city’s legal office.
Council approved the items and directed staff to proceed within the approved not-to-exceed amounts.
