Woodbine council approves generators, new tap fees, equipment purchases and contracted blight services
Summary
At its Aug. 12 special meeting, the Woodbine City Council unanimously approved the purchase of trailered generators, repairs to city fleet vehicles, two pressure-pump alarms, a Mag meter, a new water/sewer tap fee schedule and contracted services to identify derelict vehicles and blighted properties.
The Woodbine City Council on Aug. 12 unanimously approved several operational and maintenance items intended to bolster the city’s utilities and infrastructure.
The council voted to accept the PDG quote to purchase trailered generators after Public Works Director Jimmie Cohen presented two bids. The council later approved a D & D quote to replace the engine in a 2015 Ford F-250 used by the city’s fleet. Councilors also approved the purchase of two alarms for the pressure pumps at the 8th Street lift station and at the Water Sewer Treatment Plant, and the acquisition of a Mag (Meg) Meter for the system.
City Clerk Elaine Koch presented a revised fee schedule for new water and sewer taps that adds a meter-installation charge and a Capital Recovery Fee on the recommendation of Building Inspector James George; the council approved the new fees.
City Administrator Samantha Young asked the mayor and council to approve contracted services for Ernest Hamilton to assist the city in identifying derelict vehicles and blighted properties; the council approved that contract. Mayor Kizziler Knight asked that another elected member consider filling her PSA board seat when she vacates it in December 2024.
All motions reported in the minutes were moved, seconded and described by the minutes as unanimously approved and so declared by Mayor Knight.
The council recessed into executive session at 7:48 p.m. and reconvened at 8:22 p.m.; Mayor Knight advised that no votes or decisions were made during the executive session. The meeting adjourned at 8:41 p.m.
