Board approves 'zombie box' rather than relocating Lake E1‑C aerator; vote 3–2
Summary
River Ridge approved installing a $3,098 'zombie box' for the aeration system in Lake E1‑C and deferred a $10,755 relocation proposal; motion passed 3–2 with Mountford and Blumenthal dissenting.
As part of a Premier Lakes update, Operations Manager Shane Willis presented a work order and a revised Bentley Electric proposal that would add 125 feet of electrical work to relocate an aeration system in Lake E1‑C. Board members discussed budget implications and the option to defer the more costly relocation until the FY2026 budget review.
On a motion by Chair Bob Schultz, seconded by Robert Twombly, the board approved installing a 'zombie box' at the existing location for $3,098. The vote was 3–2: Schultz, Twombly and Keith Merrill voted in favor; Terry Mountford and Kurt Blumenthal opposed. Staff will revisit the $10,755 relocation estimate during next year's budget discussions.
