Trappe declares emergency for water-tower generator; special meeting set Sept. 11
Summary
The council declared purchase of a new water-tower generator an emergency because the existing unit is inoperable and requires constant monitoring; staff were told to obtain additional proposals for review at a Sept. 11 special meeting.
Commissioner Walter Chase told the council that the water-tower generator is inoperable without constant monitoring and that the condition requires either continuous staffing or a replacement. Chase moved to find the generator purchase an emergency; Commissioner Jeremy Newnam seconded and the council approved the emergency finding unanimously.
The Council directed staff to solicit additional proposals and scheduled a Special Council meeting for Sept. 11 at 2:00 p.m. to review quotes and decide next steps. The minutes record this as an emergency procurement action but do not list vendor names or estimated replacement costs.
