Dwight council approves $7,800 for meter-pit repairs and meter-conversion software

The Dwight City Council approved two utility-related payments totaling $7,800 during its Aug. 19 meeting at the library.

Councilwoman Chelsey Brosious moved to pay Carlyon and Sons $4,800 to repair six meter pits and to move one pit's cost to the General Fund; Councilwoman Susan Mulryan seconded and the motion carried 4-0. Later, Councilwoman Brenda Anderson moved to pay Advantage Computer (Jayhawk) $3,000 for a new interface and a mass meter conversion to be paid from the Water Fund; Councilwoman Chelsey Brosious seconded and that motion also carried 4-0.

The payments followed written maintenance and water reports provided by Ryan Taylor, the city's maintenance and water manager. The council recorded the funding sources for the two items: the Carlyon payment includes a transfer of one pit cost to the General Fund, while the Advantage Computer payment will be paid from the Water Fund.

Council recorded both motions and their 4-0 outcomes; no amendments or conditions were recorded in the meeting minutes. The approvals complete the immediate procurement steps described on the agenda; the minutes do not record any additional timeline for the work or vendor schedules.

Next steps recorded in the meeting minutes include standard implementation by city staff; no public hearing or additional council vote on these payments was scheduled at the meeting.
