Beaman adopts ordinance allowing outside water meters, approves $38,175 meter purchase
Summary
The Beaman City Council adopted Ordinance 175 permitting outside water meters, approved purchase of Neptune meters and reading equipment for $38,175, and approved three installation options including a $50 city-install fee and post-installation inspection.
At its May 14 meeting, the Beaman City Council adopted Ordinance 175 to allow installation of outside water meters and approved the purchase of replacement Neptune meters and associated reading equipment from Ferguson for $38,175.
Council member Barry Brockman moved and Brandon Schleisman seconded the first reading of Ordinance 175; the motion carried. The council then voted to waive the second and third readings (motion by Brandon Schleisman, second by Barry Brockman) and subsequently voted to adopt the ordinance (motion by Jason Scafferi, second by Deb Ashton). The ordinance will become effective upon posting for seven days.
Separately, Council member Deb Ashton moved and Brandon Schleisman seconded approval of the $38,175 purchase of Neptune meters and reading equipment; the motion passed 4–0. Council also approved three installation options for residents — hire a plumber, self-install, or hire the city to install for $50 — and required all installations be inspected by a city representative after completion.
The council did not provide a detailed implementation timeline or funding breakdown in the meeting minutes; Clerk Denise Hoy will handle vendor coordination and inspection scheduling.
