Big Bear City Community Services District board approves Advanced Metering Infrastructure purchase
Summary
The Big Bear City Community Services District Board approved purchasing an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system from Aqua Metric to upgrade handheld meters to a radio-read network, integrate metering software with the billing system, and install a base station and endpoints. The project was budgeted in FY2023/24.
On July 1, 2024, the Big Bear City Community Services District Board of Directors approved staff to purchase an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system per an Aqua Metric sales quote dated June 12, 2024.
Water Superintendent Jerry Griffith told the board the AMI project, which was approved in the district's 2023/24 fiscal-year budget, will begin by upgrading the current handheld metering system to a radio-read network. Griffith said the first phase includes upgrading metering software and integrating it with the existing billing system, purchasing and installing a base station, and buying endpoints to attach to meters.
Board members asked questions and staff responded during the presentation. The Board voted to authorize the purchase upon a motion by Director Bob Rowe and a second by Director Larry Walsh; the roll-call vote recorded Ayes Rowe, Russo and Walsh, with Director Al Ziegler absent.
The meeting record notes that public comment was heard during the staff reports and non-agenda items but the transcript does not identify speakers or summarize the comments.

The meeting adjourned at 5:22 p.m.
