Richmond water commissioners approve purchase orders, sign USDA rural-water pledge
Summary
The Town of Richmond Water and Sewer Commission on March 17 approved minutes and two purchase orders, authorized payment warrants and voted to sign a pledge supporting USDA Rural Development water and environmental programs, commissioners said. Motions carried without extended debate.
The Town of Richmond Water and Sewer Commission on March 17 approved routine business including minutes, two purchase orders and a warrant, and agreed to sign a pledge supporting USDA Rural Development water and environmental programs.
During the meeting the commission approved the minutes of March 3 and March 10 after motions and seconds. The body approved purchase order 5232, read in the record as "5232 in the amount of 7858" for payment to the vendor read in the transcript as "qu Tanner" for flood-mitigation/pump-station work. The commission also approved purchase order 4919, described in the record as $1,212 and identified as an annual payment tied to an earlier East Main Street project. The commission voted to approve the warrant presented by staff.
A pledge circulated through Rural Water asking local systems to express support for USDA Rural Development water and environmental programs was presented; a commissioner identified in the transcript as "B" moved to sign the pledge and "J" seconded. Commissioners discussed the pledge's applicability (staff said it does not apply to certain SRF programs the town has used) and agreed signing would demonstrate support for federal funding; the motion carried.
No formal roll-call vote totals were recorded in the transcript beyond motions passing. The commission also scheduled agenda items for an upcoming meeting focused on meters, budget and rates and adjourned following a motion and second.
Actions recorded in the meeting transcript include approval of minutes for March 3 and March 10, approval of purchase orders 5232 and 4919, approval of the presented warrant, and a motion to sign the USDA Rural Development water and environmental programs pledge. The transcript provides vendor and dollar amounts as read at the meeting; where wording in the record was unclear, the article uses the wording provided in the meeting record.
The commission indicated it will continue budget and project planning at future meetings and coordinate with engineering consultants on larger wastewater upgrades.
