Lamont council approves annual water-tank maintenance contract; hears fire department grants, public works updates
Summary
The council approved a contract for annual interior cleaning and repairs to the city water tank and received reports that the fire department will receive grants for bunker gear, a generator and a CPR/trauma manikin; Public Works flagged pending stormwater repairs and pipe-liner quotes.
Mayor Michael J. Cook presided over the Lamont City Council meeting on June 10, where the council approved a contract with Central Tank Coatings, Inc. to perform annual interior cleaning and inspection of the city water tank and to install a hatch gasket and frost-free vent, replace the rim angle and 'suck down' the roof.
Councilmember Lamphier moved to approve the contract and Councilmember Adams seconded; the motion passed with Councilmembers Lincoln, Slack, Adams and Lamphier voting aye and was recorded as Resolution 26-18.
City Clerk Paula J. Harvey reported that the Lamont Fire Department logged a controlled burn, two medical calls and a wellness check since the previous meeting and that a long-serving member, Joe Opperman, turned in equipment after moving out of town. Harvey said the department applied for and will be awarded grants from Black Hills Energy, Pembina Pipeline and a Community Foundation to pay for bunker gear, a generator and a CPR/trauma manikin. The Lamont Fire Department Foundation upgraded the department’s vitals monitor, replacing one that was more than a decade old.
The Public Works Director told the council the city is still waiting for Oasis to repair stormwater drains on Bush and Albert streets and is collecting quotes to insert a liner in the Pine Street stormwater pipe. Mayor Cook also reported ongoing contacts with owners of nuisance properties and said city-owned properties at 305 and 315 Church Street will soon be demolished.
Mayor Cook said representatives from EBTC are visiting properties to identify the best location for their equipment boxes and are considering city property sites. The clerk had previously read into the record a detailed list of payroll and vendor disbursements tied to the consent agenda.
The council did not specify a dollar amount for the tank contract in the meeting record. The Central Tank Coatings contract and the other public-works follow-ups will be handled through the city’s contracting and maintenance process.
