Woodbine council approves large water meter upgrades and appoints Phyllis Drummond to PSA board
Summary
The Woodbine City Council unanimously approved up to $50,000 for replacement of its large water meters and voted to appoint Councilor Phyllis Drummond to the PSA Board effective January 2025. Motions carried without recorded opposition.
Mayor Kizziler Knight presided over the Woodbine City Council on Sept. 9, 2024, as the council approved two formal items: a personnel appointment and equipment upgrades.
The council voted unanimously to appoint Councilor Phyllis Drummond to the Public Service Authority (PSA) Board beginning in January 2025. The motion to approve the appointment was made by Rick Baird and seconded by C.C. Higginbotham; Mayor Knight declared the motion approved.
City Administrator Samantha Young presented quotes for replacement of the city’s large water meters and said replacing the large meters would complete the upgrade project. Councilor C.C. Higginbotham moved and Councilor Phyllis Drummond seconded a motion authorizing the large meter upgrades “not to exceed $50,000.” The motion was unanimously approved and declared by Mayor Knight.
The minutes do not record additional procedural details such as vendor selection, payment schedule, or which department will manage the project. The motions as recorded in the minutes show unanimous approval by the council members present: Mayor Kizziler Knight and Councilors Rick Baird, C.C. Higginbotham, Louise Mitchell and Phyllis Drummond.
What happens next: the minutes do not specify an implementation timeline or which staff will execute the meter replacements; the council will likely formalize contract details and vendor selection in a subsequent meeting or administrative action.
