Board opts for low-cost "zombie box" rather than relocating lake aerator
Summary
After reviewing Premier Lakes and Bentley Electric proposals to relocate an aeration system in Lake E1‑C, the board approved installing a $3,098 'zombie box' at the current location and agreed to revisit a larger $10,755 relocation proposal in the FY2026 budget; the vote was 3–2.
The Board discussed a Premier Lakes work order and a revised Bentley Electric proposal that would add roughly 125 feet of electrical work to relocate an aeration unit in Lake E1‑C. Staff presented options and budget impacts, and members debated whether to proceed now or defer a relocation until the FY2026 budget process.
On a motion by Chair Bob Schultz, seconded by Robert Twombly, the Board approved installing a "zombie box" at the existing aerator location for $3,098. The motion passed 3–2; Mr. Mountford and Mr. Blumenthal voted no. Board members stated the larger Bentley proposal and a $10,755 relocation estimate could be revisited during FY2026 budget deliberations.
