Staff reports: grant reimbursements submitted; city working to repair inoperable hydrants
Summary
Staff said three grant reimbursements were submitted (including about $24,000 from the Department of Commerce for Well 7 and roughly $15,000 from ARPA) and reported multiple inoperable fire hydrants that staff are working to identify and repair with quotes incoming.
Staff reported that Sophie submitted three grant reimbursements this week: about $24,000 from the Department of Commerce for Well 7, approximately $15,000 from ARPA for the flock system, and an additional $9,000 to complete a previously submitted $50,000 Department of Commerce reimbursement. Staff said administrative changes (switching Cintas billing to monthly and moving Iron Mountain to quarterly) will save roughly $1,100 annually.
Council and staff also discussed inoperable fire hydrants identified by staff member Jay; Jay has sent quotes and the city is working to get them up and running. Staff emphasized hydrant repairs are a safety concern and said priority and timing depend on the hydrants' location and proximity to residents; council requested follow-up and quotes for repair work.
