Dundee council authorizes purchase of 100 water meters for $33,961
Summary
Council approved a staff request to buy 100 replacement water meters at a total cost of $33,961 to continue an annual meter-replacement program. The motion to give the city administrator purchasing authority passed by voice vote.
The Dundee City Council voted to authorize the city administrator to purchase 100 replacement water meters for a total of $33,961, council members announced during the meeting.
The measure was presented as part of routine utility maintenance: staff said the purchase continues an annual meter-replacement program and that the cost is within the budget. An unidentified council member moved to grant the administrator authority to make the purchase; the motion was seconded and carried after a voice vote.
Councilors asked for a longer-term plan from Public Works at a future meeting so members can see a four‑year replacement schedule and better understand lifecycle costs. No roll-call vote or recorded tally was entered into the record; the motion was adopted by voice vote.
The council did not provide details about previous pricing beyond saying the current request was “within budget” and consistent with expectations. The administrator or finance staff indicated they will report back with more detailed cost comparisons and a project plan if requested.
