Anthony ISD board approves budget amendment to replace aging high‑school backflow pump
Summary
The Anthony ISD Board of Trustees approved a budget amendment on June 9 to replace a backflow pump at the high school after staff said the existing unit is too old to pass inspection and could lead to a water shutdown.
At a June 9 special meeting, the Anthony Independent School District Board of Trustees approved a budget amendment to replace an aging backflow pump at the high school. Superintendent Dr. Oscar A. Troncoso and Maintenance/Custodian/Transportation Manager Rene Ramirez told trustees the existing pump “is too old and will not pass inspections” and that, if not replaced, water could be shut off to the high school.
Trustee M. Garcia moved to approve the budget amendments and Trustee L. Rodriguez seconded the motion (Motion 4635). The motion passed on a roll-call vote with five yes votes and two absences (S. Chavez — Yes; L. Rodriguez — Yes; M. Garcia — Yes; A. Cuellar — Yes; A. Vela — Yes; C. Ramirez — Absent; C. Singh — Absent). Staff reported that quotes for the pump came in under $25,000, so additional formal board approval for that purchase was not required.
The board did not record further specifications for the replacement pump or a vendor at the meeting. Next steps recorded in the meeting minutes indicate staff will proceed with procuring the pump under the approved budget amendment and applicable procurement rules.
