Commission approves sewer-staffing budget change and awards sodium hypochlorite tank contract
Summary
The commission approved a reallocation of a capital improvement line to fund an hourly sewer position, and approved RFP 2025-12 for a sodium hypochlorite tank, recommending award to New Offer Products with the contract amount recorded as $37,002.91 in the minutes.
The commission approved two operational items affecting the city's water and sewer operations.
First, the board approved a request to reallocate an identified capital-improvement budget line to cover salaries for an additional hourly hire in the sewer department. Staff told the commission the sewer division has five current staff and that workload (including grinder-pump service and daily locates) requires another hourly employee; the line being repurposed had been earmarked for a CCTV camera, which staff said can be deferred to next year. Commissioner Kerrigan moved the reallocation, Commissioner Langston seconded, and the commission voted to approve the change.
Second, staff presented RFP 2025-12 for a sodium hypochlorite chemical tank. The recommendation in the packet named New Offer Products with a bid around $37,200; the motion recorded at the meeting specified $37,002.91 and the chair announced the motion passed. The minutes show the contract award was approved and that the water-plant budget can absorb the cost.
Staff noted the new hire will be hourly and that the CCTV purchase will be postponed. No additional implementation schedule or job posting dates were recorded in the minutes provided.
