Osage Beach approves Passover water tower painting, pump purchase and grant application; first reading set for Golf View Lane water loop
Summary
The Board of Aldermen approved a $139,000 contract to paint the Passover water tower, authorized a $95,515 pump purchase, approved a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant application for Peony Park, and approved the first reading of a $377,354 water main loop contract.
The Osage Beach Board of Aldermen approved several procurement and finance items at its meeting, including an ordinance to authorize interior painting of the Passover water tower and a purchase to restore a failed sewer station pump.
On a roll call vote the board approved Bill 24‑79, authorizing the mayor to sign a contract with Maguire Iron Inc. to complete interior painting of the Passover water tower for an amount not to exceed $139,000. City Engineer Drew Bowman was available to answer questions but none were raised before the board approved second reading.
The board approved as a first reading Bill 24‑82, a contract with 4 Seasons Plumbing LLC for a water main loop (Golf View Lane to Nichols Road) for an amount not to exceed $377,354. Bowman told the board the project “is to create a crucial redundancy in our water supply system,” explaining a single main break currently could cut service to a number of residents.
The board also approved Resolution 20,2408 to apply for federal assistance through the Land and Water Conservation Fund to complete phase 1 of the Peony Park enhancement project, which the staff described as replacement of ball field 1 and construction of a large pavilion with flushing restrooms. Assistant City Administrator April White said the grant had already been submitted and the LWCF indicated that it would accept the application even though it was a last‑minute agenda item.
Public Works requested purchasing a 2,000‑201‑horsepower submersible pump for the sand (quadplex) station for up to $95,515 plus shipping after two pumps failed this year. “If we order it now, the funds won’t be expended until February or March of next year,” Public Works Director Zach Wilbur said, adding that ordering would lock in a lower price and begin the supplier lead time. The board approved the purchase.
City Treasurer Carrie Bell presented the annual bad‑debt write‑off list and recommended approval. The list, as reported to the board, showed water and sewer write‑offs of $2,789 and an ambulance fund write‑off of $162,098; the transcript listed a value of “0” for leasing fine and Grand GlaZe Airport funds as read. Bell told the board sewer write‑offs were within a four‑year average and recommended approval; the board approved the report.
The board approved the consent agenda and later adjourned. No formal appeals or vetoes were recorded at the meeting.
