Council approves $30,000 adult literacy grant, picks VT SCADA water-monitoring system and OKs office upgrades
Summary
Council accepted a $30,000 adult literacy grant, approved a VT SCADA water-monitoring contract and authorized office cubicle replacements during the Oct. 28 meeting.
The Hemet City Council on Oct. 28 approved several operational items on the consent calendar and during pulled-item discussion.
The council accepted a $30,000 state grant to support the city’s adult literacy program, which city staff and the library manager described as a long-running service offering one-on-one tutoring, GED preparation and related assistance. Council Member Mayor Pro Tem Krupa moved acceptance of the grant; Council Member Tom Lodge seconded. The motion passed 5-0.
Public works staff recommended and the council approved selection of the VT SCADA option to replace the city’s obsolete water-monitoring system. Staff said the VT SCADA proposal was more detailed and lower-priced than an alternative; the contract will allow remote monitoring of wells, tank levels and alarms and includes on-site training. Council Member Connie Clark moved approval; Council Member Mayles seconded. The motion passed 5-0.
Council also approved replacement of office cubicles and furniture in a package that includes running cable and workstation installation. Council Member Mayles moved the purchase; Council Member Lodge seconded and the motion passed 5-0.
Separately, staff recommended removing language referencing a dismantlers license in a towing-related ordinance (item 17b) after initial vendor outreach found no local tow yards held that license; the council approved reintroducing the ordinance as amended for first reading, to return for second reading at a subsequent meeting.
The motions and roll-call votes on these items were recorded in the meeting minutes.
