Board tables $200,000 emergency water appropriation until utilities director can attend
Summary
The board received a request to create a $200,000 emergency capital reserve for water distribution and voted to table the item until Director of Utilities Jill Stevens can appear to answer questions about funding and timing.
Chair introduced a request from the director of utilities, Jill Stevens, asking the board to set up a $200,000 emergency capital reserve for the water distribution system. "...to consider and act on a request from the director of utilities, Jill Stevens, for an additional appropriation of $200,000 for a new project, water distribution system emergency capital reserve," the chair read aloud when bringing the item forward.
Board members said they wanted the director present for questions and initially moved to pause the item until she arrived; later in the meeting, after discussing funding sources and the Board of Finance's recommendation to set up the account because water has no dedicated revenue stream, the board formally voted to table the request to the next meeting so Jill Stevens can appear.
