Trustees approve bills and several DPW and wastewater purchases
Summary
The board approved council bills, authorized a $9,675 DPW power-washer purchase (one opposed), and approved a $4,450 wastewater bearing purchase; trustees also approved routine minutes and vendor payments.
The Village of Romeo Board of Trustees approved routine bills and several municipal equipment purchases at its May 19 meeting.
The board approved council bills (two warrant amounts presented: $61,483.95 and $156,255.18) after trustee questions about vendor lines, such as a graphics LLC charge (clarified as two police vehicles) and a Dell Marketing line likely for laptops. Bartholomew moved to pay the bills; the motion passed by roll call.
On capital purchases, trustees approved a motion to buy a power washer from Gilbert Sales & Service for $9,675 after DPW staff explained the existing unit is 30 years old and that the new unit is necessary for seasonal operations; the vote recorded one opposed. The board also approved a specialty purchase of wastewater treatment bearings from Walker Process for $4,450; staff explained the bearings are a specialized part for RBC units and delaying replacement could trigger much larger repairs.
Trustees discussed warranty and installation questions for the power-washer purchase and cautioned that specialty items may come from single suppliers. The approvals were presented as part of the board’s regular capital and operations oversight.
