Council asked to ratify emergency pump replacements at two school lift stations; invoices presented for approval
Summary
City Manager Mark Musselwhite presented two MPE invoices totaling $69,796.76 for emergency replacement of 25‑year‑old pumps at Demorest Elementary and South Habersham Middle School following failures in February; mayor and council gave emergency email approval and staff requested formal payment approval.
City Manager Mark Musselwhite told the Demorest City Council on May 12 that two 25‑year‑old pumps at the Demorest Elementary School lift station and South Habersham Middle School lift station failed in February and were replaced on an emergency basis. Musselwhite presented two MPE invoices: #25464 for $28,220.48 and #25465 for $41,576.28, and said mayor and council had given emergency approval to replace the pumps via email. He requested an official vote to approve payment of the invoices.
The transcript records replacement work and the emergency email approval but does not show a formal vote to authorize payment during the work session. Council members had previously authorized emergency replacement by email, and staff asked the council to ratify payment in a future formal action.
