Board approves purchase of bidirectional impeller for maintenance team
Summary
Board approved a purchase of a bidirectional impeller (approx. $102,000) for maintenance operations; staff described the challenging conditions crews face working blind inside shafts and the functional benefits of the new impeller.
Staff described a planned purchase of a bidirectional impeller to be used in maintenance operations. A presenter explained the operational context: maintenance teams sometimes work “blind” inside shafts and rely on radio communication and touch to identify components such as 2.5‑foot paddles and bolts; certain plates in the corner of shafts can become damaged and require blind repair.
Staff said the new bidirectional impeller will rotate either direction and that the unit cost is roughly $102,000. A motion and second were recorded and the board approved the purchase by voice vote; no roll‑call tally was provided in the meeting transcript.
