Utilities report: Bobcat delivered, palm pilots ordered and multiple maintenance tasks completed

Utility staff reported a range of routine operations at the Sept. 25 meeting, including ditch cleanouts on Huston and Quail Run, pothole patching, a sewer check at 505 6th (noting Cox hit the sewer), and multiple electric fuse replacements attributed to animal damage. The report named specific water meter replacements at Apt. F on Huston and at 1009 5th and described sewer sampling and other maintenance tasks.

The minutes note the Bobcat E35 excavator was ordered and delivered the prior week and that new utility palm pilots were ordered but would take several weeks to arrive. The administrator also noted payroll and benefits processing tasks such as completion of the annual Blue Cross Blue Shield payroll census form. The minutes do not include procurement costs for the Bobcat or the palm pilots.
