Versailles council OKs two emergency transformers to power Weaver Brothers expansions
Summary
The Versailles Village Council unanimously authorized two emergency purchases—each a 1500 kVA padmount transformer at $47,060—to extend electric service for Weaver Brothers’ Dew Fresh Egg Farm and its 900 N. Center Street facility, citing economic development needs.
The Versailles Village Council on April 23 unanimously authorized two emergency purchases of 1500 kVA 277/480V padmount transformers from Sunbelt-Solomon, each costing $47,060, to support electric service extensions for Weaver Brothers, Inc.
Mr. Steinbrunner moved to authorize the Village Administrator to purchase the first transformer for Weaver Brothers’ Dew Fresh Egg Farm; Mr. Weaver seconded the motion and the vote was recorded as all yeas. Mr. Steinbrunner then moved to authorize a second, identical purchase for the company’s 900 N. Center Street facility; Mrs. Dieringer seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
Village Administrator Francis told council that the Dew Fresh Egg Farm project requires a new electric service extension and that the 900 N. Center Street facility needs a larger transformer to accommodate planned improvements. The agenda described both purchases as economic development emergencies.
Council did not discuss alternative suppliers or financing terms during the meeting. The approvals authorize staff to proceed with procurement and installation; the motions do not specify funding source beyond the emergency designation. The council vote concluded with the motions recorded as passed.
