Council approves emergency purchase of sewer inspection camera, declares resolution an emergency
Summary
The council unanimously approved Resolution 3661 to authorize a contract with Best Equipment Company for an Envirite rover sewer inspection camera, declaring the purchase an emergency to accelerate replacement of failing equipment.
The City of Geneva City Council on Feb. 23 approved Resolution 3661, authorizing the city manager to enter into an agreement with Best Equipment Company to purchase an Envirite rover sewer inspection camera and declaring the purchase an emergency.
Council considered waiving the three-reading rule, voted to declare the resolution an emergency, and then passed the resolution by roll call. The purchase was recommended to replace failing in-house equipment and to support immediate needs on projects such as Depot Street. The purchase price presented in the meeting was $1,298,350; staff recommended entering the agreement at that amount.
No individual mover or seconder for the principal motion is clearly recorded in the transcript; the record shows roll-call votes to waive readings, to declare an emergency, and to pass the resolution. The meeting transcript records affirmative roll-call responses for the vote but contains inconsistent name spellings in the roll-call lines; because of transcription inconsistencies the councils passage is described here as approved by roll call rather than listing individual tallies.
The city will proceed with contracting and expects to put the camera into service quickly to support wastewater, stormwater, and street projects.
