BPA reports $45,000 trash-pump reimbursement; council approves water-tower inspection quote up to $10,000
Summary
Board of Public Affairs President Chris Recker reported a $45,000 reimbursement for a 6-inch trash pump and council approved a water-tower inspection contract not to exceed $10,000 after the prior vendor went out of business.
Chris Recker, BPA President, told council that reimbursement paperwork for a 6-inch trash pump was approved and the village received $45,000 on Jan. 3, 2025. Recker also noted the water tower requires inspection every three years; Mark Kaufman obtained a quote from Integrity Aquatics because the prior company is out of business. On a motion by Dale Warnecke with a second from Kristen Gerding-Heffner, council approved the inspection expense for an amount not to exceed $10,000.
Why it matters: The reimbursement restores funds for a capital piece of equipment, and approving the inspection secures required maintenance to ensure continued water service reliability. The motion included a not-to-exceed amount, but the minutes do not include vendor contract details or payment timing.
Supporting detail: The minutes record receipt of funds and that council approved the inspection expense; they do not include the full quote or vendor contract language.
