Board approves routine purchases, invoices and maintenance work; grants staff authority for contracts pending counsel review
Summary
The board approved a slate of routine items including vehicle and hydroseeder purchases, multiple contractor pay applications and several maintenance and repair contracts; a larger CPA intergovernmental agreement was approved conditionally subject to legal review.
The Levy District Board approved a series of routine operational purchases, contractor payments and maintenance contracts during its regular meeting.
Key approvals and votes included: - Acceptance of the minutes from the Oct. 13 meeting (motion moved by Brad Brett; one member opposed but the motion passed). - Purchase of a Ford F-250 under state contract to replace a 2009 Dodge Ram (state-contract price cited at $51,686.41; lead time 4–6 months). - Purchase of a Finn T60 hydroseeder (state-contract price $44,715.50) recommended by the Buildings, Equipment and Maintenance Committee to improve seeding success and protect recent levee work. - Payment recommendations approved: Construction Site Specialties pay application #18 for $27,333.27 and Compo and Suns pay application #13 for $45,975. - Approval to repair Pump Station 2 pump (repairs estimated at $224,530 by Bowling/Bolan Marine) rather than purchasing a new pump. - Award/approval of riprap repairs at Bread and Canal to Compo and Suns (low responsive quote $98,287.40) to address a roughly 9-foot-deep scour hole caused by weir operation. - Payment of New Gem invoice #1057 for $65,295; Compo and Suns invoices #1433 for $71,745 and #1447 for $169,890 were also approved.
Board members and staff emphasized that larger or unusual agreements—such as the intergovernmental agreement with the Coastal Protection Authority—would be subject to legal review and could be brought back to the board with more specific project details and cost allocations before final construction contracts are approved.
The meeting closed after committee reports on finance, personnel (authority to grant 2026 merit increases requested) and insurance (new employee premium approval). The board adjourned.
