Green Level approves pump-station repair quote and water agreement, then rejects landscaping bids 3-2

The Green Level Town Council on March 12 approved a repair quote for the Florence Road pump station and approved renewal of a water services interlocal agreement with the City of Graham, then narrowly voted 3-2 to reject landscaping bids submitted in response to a request for bids.

Town Administrator Brandon Enoch reported temporary pumps had been removed from the Florence Road and Sam Gwynn pump stations and identified three junction boxes requiring repair. He presented a quote from Charles R. Underwood to replace the junction box at the Florence Road pump station. Councilmember Stephanie Enoch moved to approve the quote from CRU; Mayor Pro Tem Patricia Jones seconded and the motion passed unanimously (5-0).

Mr. Enoch also reported the town received an interlocal agreement renewal from the City of Graham to continue water services and noted the agreement was required to submit the Local Water Supply Plan, due April 1. Councilmember Remonia Enoch moved to approve the water services agreement pending review by the Town Attorney and Town Administrator; Councilmember Stephanie Enoch seconded and the motion passed unanimously (5-0).

On the landscaping RFB, Mr. Enoch presented four submissions and recommended accepting one bid to reduce Public Works workload so staff could focus on water and sewer systems. After discussion the mayor, Hosea McBroom, moved not to accept any of the submitted landscaping bids; Councilmember Remonia Enoch seconded and the motion passed 3-2 with Mayor Pro Tem Patricia Jones and Councilmember Sandra McCollum voting against.

Council did not specify next steps for the landscaping work during the meeting; the council recessed until its next regular meeting on April 9, 2026.
