Tecumseh council approves Arrowhead Drive design agreement and $164,400 UV system for wastewater plant
Summary
At its Nov. 3 meeting, the Tecumseh City Council approved a $10,500 professional services agreement for Arrowhead Drive design and accepted a $164,400 quote for a UV3000Plus disinfection system for the wastewater treatment plant. The council also approved equipment purchases, a pay application and the consent agenda.
The Tecumseh City Council on Nov. 3 approved several routine contracts and purchases, including a $10,500 professional services agreement with Olsson for Arrowhead Drive improvements and a $164,400 quote from Trojan Technologies for a UV3000Plus ultraviolet disinfection system for the city's wastewater treatment plant.
Council Member Travis Goracke moved to approve the Olsson agreement; Council Member Lance Beethe seconded, and the motion carried with Beethe, Alicia Brommer, Goracke and Lorie Topp voting aye. No nays were recorded; the minutes list Brian Britt and Tyler Speckmann as absent for that vote.
Council Member Lorie Topp moved to accept the Trojan Technologies quote for the wastewater treatment plant; Council Member Alicia Brommer seconded. The motion carried with Beethe, Brommer, Goracke and Topp voting aye and no nays recorded; the minutes again list Britt and Speckmann as absent.
Council members also approved purchase of a 60-inch mower from AKRS for $13,575 (motion by Brommer; second by Topp) and approved Pay Application No. 7 from Farabee Mechanical for the power plant project (motion by Beethe; second by Topp). The minutes record those motions as carried with the same aye votes (Beethe, Brommer, Goracke and Topp) and do not specify a dollar amount for Pay Application No. 7.
The consent agenda, which included approval of the Sept. 15, 2025 minutes and payment of city bills totaling $42,213.40, was approved by motion. The minutes record the consent motion as "Motion by Topp, second by Speckmann" and list voting aye as Beethe, Britt, Brommer, Speckmann and Topp; they also record Travis Goracke as absent for that vote. The attendance and vote listings in the minutes are inconsistent (the minutes earlier list Britt and Speckmann as absent), and the council minutes do not explain the discrepancy.
Routine reports to the council noted that auditors will return in December to complete the fiscal year 2025 audit; streets staff raised the need to order rock for the DTR project and asked for a decision on Arrowhead Drive; utility staff reported that the EDA project is largely complete pending programming by Olsson, that the north water tower painting is finished awaiting cure/sample before filling, and that a large-user sewer rate adjustment is complete. Parks staff reported completed pickleball/tennis net repairs and solicited bids for new fencing and a park bridge.
The meeting was called to order at 5:00 p.m. and adjourned at 5:20 p.m. Minutes were signed by City Clerk Janelle Moran and Mayor Jesse Grof.
