Robbins manager outlines street repairs, SCADA outage and recreation upgrades; Good Friday closure approved
Summary
Town manager Jeremy updated the board on computer upgrades that briefly disrupted SCADA tank monitoring, upcoming street resurfacing and speed-bump work, a tennis-court resurfacing tied to pickleball upgrades, and announced Samuels Community College training; the board approved a Good Friday road-closing resolution and later entered closed session.
The Robbins town manager, Jeremy, gave the board a routine report that covered information-technology upgrades, road repairs and recreational improvements.
Jeremy said staff replaced 13 office computers in a short window; the upgrade briefly knocked the SCADA tank-monitoring system offline until the antenna was replaced, forcing staff to check water-tank levels manually over a weekend. "We had no way to know how much water we had in the tanks," he said, describing the interim checks and the antenna replacement that restored remote monitoring.
Jeremy also said crews will use an available contractor window to resurface parts of Colonial and Lake streets, install speed bumps on Lindell, and resurface a tennis court; he noted plans to bundle gate and latch repairs and purchase a heavy outdoor net (about $1,900) if resurfacing proceeds. The board approved a resolution to close specified town roads for the annual Good Friday procession; Jeremy said past events had proceeded without incident.
He announced Samuels Community College will run a county-focused food-truck and small-business training session in May. Commissioners also asked staff to obtain quotes for reservoir dredging and access-road repairs; Jeremy said gravel replacement and a small turnaround for equipment access are planned to improve project logistics and policing patrol access.
Why it matters: The updates cover recurring municipal services — IT resilience, road maintenance, recreation improvements and special-event permitting — that affect daily life and service continuity for Robbins residents.
