Decision on Hunter Elementary water meter deferred to next month
Summary
Officials deferred action on installing a water meter at Hunter Elementary after staff said an unpaid portion of the project is expected to be about $78,000 and the county is awaiting additional information from the water utility and potential lower-cost meter options.
Carter County officials deferred action on a proposed water-meter installation at Hunter Elementary until the next regular meeting so staff can collect additional information from the water utility and review alternative meter options.
Dr. Carpenter told the board that a portion of the project has not yet been paid and that staff expected the unpaid portion to come in at about $78,000. He told the board that staff had discussed possible lower-cost options and that the county is awaiting follow-up from the water utility before proceeding.
Jeremiah Tolley made the motion to table the item until next month; the motion was seconded (transcript states “Daniel second”). The roll call recorded unanimous support on the motion to defer: Danny Ward, Keith Burrows, Renee Lewis, Tony Garland, Dylan Hill, Gary Oaks, Jeremiah Tolley all voted yes. Meeting minutes indicate the item will return when staff has updated cost estimates and utility responses.
Ending: The board postponed the meter decision to allow staff time to confirm costs, consider a lower-cost meter option, and obtain required information from the water utility.
