Council approves up to $1,500 for NFPA storage; wastewater staff seek quotes for phosphorus removal
Summary
Utility staff asked council to approve small capital purchases—$450 of sand for drying beds and up to $1,500 for NFPA storage—while warning phosphorus removal work will require further quotes and a funding plan.
Utility staff told the council the wastewater system needs 20 tons of concrete sand (quoted at about $450) for drying beds and presented options for an NFPA-compliant flammable-materials storage unit for the main garage. Staff said the storage purchase would be budgeted out of the general fund and that quoted sizes range from roughly $1,300 to $1,500.
Council moved and seconded approval to allow staff to purchase a storage locker up to $1,500 plus shipping to meet NFPA recommendations for storing flammable materials. On phosphorus removal, staff said they are gathering multiple quotes and that the work is unlikely to be charged to normal wastewater operating funds alone, signaling the need for a funding plan before a contract is awarded.
