Brookhaven board approves flatbed modification, awards diesel contract and clears consent items
Summary
At a regular Brookhaven meeting, the board approved a $6,700 flatbed modification to a recently delivered cab/chassis truck, awarded a diesel bid, and approved agenda items 2–11 as a group; several street and utility projects were also discussed.
Chris Davis sought board approval for several procurement and routine items at a regular Brookhaven meeting, saying a truck ordered for the street department arrived as a cab-chassis without the expected bed and staff recommended adding a flatbed for $6,700 to keep the vehicle in service rather than waiting an estimated 17 months for a corrected delivery. "Rather than waiting another 17 months get that corrected, we're gonna throw a flatbed on it," Davis said, and the board moved to accept Fielders' $6,700 bid.
The board also moved to receive and award a diesel fuel bid to James' Case at the rate shown in the record as $2.79.9 and to take agenda items 2 through 11 as a group. The chair called for motions and for those in favor to raise their hands; the transcript indicates agreement but does not record a roll-call tally.
Staff reported other routine public-works matters during the same session: a final inspection scheduled for the 27th on a payment project, bid openings for an O'Keal water extension and repaint work at Customer Park Road set for Sept. 15, and a plan to relocate a 3-inch service water meter related to a Walmart expansion (the relocation will include roughly 140 feet of 3-inch C900 pipe and new valves). The board directed staff to confirm responsibility for the meter relocation with the contractor and the chief of police.
The meeting moved on to employee-related matters in executive session after the public portion ended. The minutes and several consent items were handled as routine business; where the transcript provides only verbal assent ("all in favor, please raise your hand" or "sure"), the article reports that votes were taken but does not invent a numeric tally.
