Board approves exploration of two mobile generators

Utility Service Board · August 17, 2026

Summary

After the storm, a motion to look into purchasing two mobile (portable) generators passed by voice vote; members had earlier discussed moving up purchase of at least one portable generator to the current year.

A majority of board members voted to pursue the purchase of two mobile generators after staff and members described strain during a recent power outage.

"I'll make a motion that we look into purchasing two mobile generators," a committee member said, and another member seconded the motion. The motion passed by voice vote.

Members discussed portable units as a stopgap that can be moved to multiple lift stations and are cheaper than permanent onsite generators. One member noted a portable at the street department is currently out of service and suggested accelerating that purchase to improve flexibility this year.
