Commissioners authorize up to $9,000 for septic motor shipping/installation and airport door prize
Summary
The Board approved up to $9,000 to ship and install a replacement septic motor and to cover a door prize for an upcoming airport managers' meeting after staff advised keeping an older motor in service until a replacement arrives.
Marty Luhr raised a billing complaint where a customer said the airport septic was emptied instead of their septic tank; the Board indicated the customer is responsible for payment when someone requests a pump. Luhr then discussed a replacement motor: he said a motor from the 1970s would take five to six weeks to receive but the current motor could be used until it fails and a same‑day replacement is possible.
To ensure continuity, Commissioner Ben Crouch moved to approve expenditures not to exceed $9,000 for shipping and installation of a new tank motor and for a door prize basket for the upcoming Boise meeting; Commissioner Art Watkins seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The Board also authorized Luhr to assemble the airport door prize for the conference.
