River Ridge board opts for 'zombie box' over full aerator relocation, votes 3-2
Summary
After considering a $10,755 relocation plan, the board approved installing a 'zombie box' at current aerator location for $3,098 and deferred larger relocation work to FY2026 budget discussions, passing the motion 3-2.
Operations Manager Shane Willis presented Premier Lakes’ one-time work order and a revised Bentley Electric proposal that would add approximately 125 feet of electrical work to relocate a 240V aerator in Lake E1-C. The board discussed budget implications and an interim option to use a 'zombie box' at the existing location rather than proceed with the full relocation now.
On a motion by Chair Bob Schultz, seconded by Mr. Twombly, the board approved "installing a zombie box, in the amount of $3,098," with Schultz, Twombly and Merrill voting in favor and Mountford and Blumenthal dissenting. The minutes record the relocation proposal as $10,755 and note the board will revisit the relocation during proposed Fiscal Year 2026 budget discussions.
