River Ridge CDD approves temporary 'zombie box' for lake aeration in 3–2 vote
Summary
The board approved a $3,098 installation of a temporary 'zombie box' for aeration in Lake E1-C rather than proceeding with a $10,755 relocation proposal; the motion passed 3–2 with two supervisors dissenting.
River Ridge CDD supervisors voted 3–2 on Nov. 19 to install a temporary electrical 'zombie box' for the aeration system in Lake E1-C rather than relocate the aeration equipment to a new location, the minutes show.
Operations Manager Shane Willis presented Premier Lakes’ one-time work order and a revised Bentley Electric proposal that added roughly 125 feet of additional electrical work. Board members debated the budget implications and a suggestion to defer the $10,755 relocation until the proposed FY 2026 budget discussions.
On a motion by Chair Bob Schultz, seconded by Robert Twombly, the board approved installing a zombie box for $3,098. The minutes record Schultz, Twombly and Keith Merrill voting in favor and Terry Mountford and Kurt Blumenthal dissenting; the motion passed 3–2.
The motion directs management to proceed with the lower-cost temporary installation and revisit the relocation proposal during FY 2026 budget discussions, according to the meeting record.
