Pleasanton council advances water, sewer and street maintenance work; approves repairs and City Hall A/C bid
Summary
Council reviewed a $215,000 water-plant truss/roof bid, authorized contacting BG Consultants on a 17th Street development main, approved a $2,300 clarifier motor repair and allowed culvert work at 13th and Sycamore; City Hall A/C replacement bid for $3,031.95 was also approved.
At the June 1 Pleasanton City Council meeting, staff and consultants reported on several infrastructure and maintenance items and the council approved multiple repair and procurement motions.
Jason Hoskinson of BG Consultants told the council a bid from Inco of Olathe, Kansas, had arrived for trusses with a metal roof on the water plant, priced at $215,000 and expected to take about three months. Hoskinson said staff is waiting for dam-repair information for Stegge Lake before soliciting full bids and that grant or funding options would be explored.
Public‑works staff reported that water and sewer lines already serve the school ballfields; Joshua Ralle said tapping in off the school will be discussed with Don Epps. Ralle said the 17th Street development would require about 1,600 feet of 8-inch main for roughly 70 new homes and may need engineering; council authorized contacting BG Consultants for pricing on the main toward Ash Street.
Sewer maintenance items included a report from John Maloney about sewer issues near Rita Spence's home and a downed lift station behind Casey's. Council requested that Smith & Loveless attend to maintenance. Councilman John Bowley moved and Councilman Kenny Stark seconded a motion to repair the clarifier motor for $2,300; the motion passed unanimously.
Councilman Bowley also moved to allow culvert work at 13th and Sycamore with labor and materials provided by the Wills except that the city would provide gravel and cold patch; the motion passed unanimously. Separately, Councilwoman Sandy Haynes moved to accept Myrick Mechanical's bid of $3,031.95 to replace City Hall air-conditioning; Councilman Bowley seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Jimmy Watts presented an auxiliary fuel-tank plan he said could save the city about $7,320 a year; council asked for an inspection and more details on which departments could use the tank. Fire Chief Jeff Wisdom reported a pump test scheduled for July 21, 2026, a Children's Tour on June 4 and a burn-trailer event on June 6; the county rural fire department would cover calls during a requested funeral escort.
What happens next: staff will solicit funding information and engineering input on the water-plant and Stegge Lake dam-repair work, Smith & Loveless will be asked to inspect lift stations, the clarifier motor repair will be scheduled, and staff will pursue additional details on the auxiliary fuel tank proposal.
