Wastewater plant budget rises 5.22%; staff requests HVAC replacement and surveillance
Summary
Wastewater Plant Superintendent Sue Dunn presented a 2025–26 wastewater budget of $2,630,501 (a 5.22% increase driven largely by personnel costs) and requested two capital items: a $55,000 admin‑building HVAC replacement and video surveillance at the plant.
Sue Dunn, wastewater plant superintendent, presented the plant’s 2025–26 operating budget and program measures and described staffing and operational goals. "I'm Sue Dunn. I'm the wastewater plant superintendent," she said, and explained the sequencing batch reactor plant was placed online in 2012. She said the 2025–26 budget totaled $2,630,501, a 5.22% increase driven mainly by personnel costs.
Dunn reviewed performance metrics (daily pollutant‑removal targets, reclaimed‑water supply to the municipal golf course, and permitted industrial monitoring) and asked for two capital items: $55,000 to replace the administrative building HVAC and an added video‑surveillance system at the wastewater treatment plant. Council asked whether hauled‑waste fees are appropriately set; staff said fees were recently increased and agreed to review the fee schedule and bring recommendations for possible further adjustment.
