Owensville selects Locks Mill Propane, adopts new phone system and gains cyber coverage savings
Summary
The Board awarded the propane contract to Locks Mill Propane at $1.40/gal, approved a new NUSO phone system with estimated monthly savings of $417.50, and noted a $3,500 MIRMA cyber coverage savings compared with prior arrangements.
The City Clerk reported three propane bids (Locks Mill Propane $1.40/gal; Peterson Oil $1.54/gal; MFA Oil $1.69/gal) based on approximate annual usage of 6,000 gallons and the board awarded the contract to Locks Mill Propane. Alderman Denise Bohl moved to accept the bid and Alderman Matt Kramme seconded; the motion carried without dissent.
The clerk also reported the new NUSO phone system will save the city about $417.50 per month (annual savings $5,010.12) and that MIRMA cybersecurity coverage will reduce prior costs by roughly $3,500. Staff were told they will be tested on spam emails as part of the cyber program. "The approx. usage per year is based on 6,000 gallons," the minutes record for the propane bid.
