Council approves $2,926.95 pump purchase and caretaker installation for cemetery irrigation
Summary
Council approved purchase of a Sta‑Rite DHH pump (3 HP, 230V) from Johnson Electric Motor for $2,426.95 and agreed to pay the cemetery caretaker $500 to install it, to restore cemetery irrigation.
Council approved replacement of a failed cemetery irrigation pump and local installation to revive cemetery landscaping. TCM Bruce Ahlstrom explained the pump had failed and grass was dying; the local company Johnson Electric Motor carried the needed pump and the town chose the in‑stock option after comparing online quotes.
The council motion approved $2,926.95 total (pump plus local installation payment to the cemetery caretaker). The pump model cited in the estimate was a Sta‑Rite DHH high‑head centrifugal pump (3 HP, 230V). Town members said paying the caretaker $500 to install the unit saved the town on contractor labor costs. The motion passed on a roll‑call vote recorded as 4–0.
