Board approves temporary 'zombie box' for Lake E1-C aerator after split vote
Summary
Faced with a $10,755 relocation proposal for an aerator in Lake E1-C, the River Ridge board approved installing a temporary 'zombie box' for $3,098. The measure passed 3-2 with Mountford and Blumenthal opposed.
District operations staff presented a proposal from Premier Lakes and a revised Bentley Electric proposal to relocate the aeration system in Lake E1-C farther from the originally proposed location. The relocation would add roughly 125 feet of electrical work and was estimated in the $10,755 range. Board members debated whether to proceed with full relocation now or take a lower-cost interim approach.
On a motion by Bob Schultz, seconded by Robert Twombly, the board approved installing a 'zombie box' at the current location—an interim measure to address aeration power needs—for $3,098. The vote passed 3–2 with Mr. Mountford and Mr. Blumenthal recorded as dissenting. Staff will revisit the larger relocation proposal during FY2026 budget discussions.
