Martinsville ISD approves wastewater treatment upgrades to address TCEQ SEP penalties
Summary
The board approved a purchase over $25,000 to address TCEQ SEP penalties, funding upgrades to the district wastewater treatment plant (including a backup generator, lighting, and office work) and authorized the superintendent to sign related documents.
The Martinsville ISD Board of Trustees voted May 18 to approve a purchase in excess of $25,000 to address penalties from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP) program and to fund related wastewater treatment upgrades.
The motion "to approve a purchase in excess of $25,000 to address penalties from the TCEQ SEP program offset to include wastewater treatment plant upgrade, backup generator, lighting, and office and to authorize the superintendent to execute any documents therein related to that purchase" was made by Jonathan Adams and seconded by Teresa Weaver and passed. The board did not record dissenting votes in the minutes.
The board’s action authorizes facility work and grants the superintendent authority to execute documents necessary to complete the purchase. The agenda item tied the funding specifically to the TCEQ SEP penalty offset and listed upgrades to the wastewater treatment plant, a backup generator, lighting, and office space as included work. The board did not provide a detailed dollar figure beyond noting the purchase exceeds the $25,000 threshold.
The motion was adopted during the regular meeting; the board later recessed for a closed executive session and returned to open session before adjourning.
