Council approves Flex‑Read meter system and office Base Station purchase
Summary
Rolla approved replacing its Auto‑Read water-meter software with Flex‑Read, accepted Core & Main’s offer to cover a $10,000 setup fee if switched before Jan. 1, 2027, and authorized a Base Station system (one‑time $48,488.58; annual $6,675).
The Rolla City Council voted unanimously June 17 to replace its Auto‑Read water‑meter software with Core & Main’s Flex‑Read system and to purchase a Base Station system that will allow meter readings from City Hall.
Staff reported that Auto‑Read will no longer receive software support and that Core & Main offered to cover the $10,000 setup fee if the city switches to Flex‑Read before Jan. 1, 2027. Council approved the Flex‑Read subscription (annual fee recorded as $4,000.00) and authorized the Base Station purchase with a one‑time cost of $48,488.58 and an annual fee of $6,675.00.
Councilmember Booth moved to approve the purchases; Frydenlund seconded and the motion passed on a unanimous roll‑call vote. The Base Station system was described in committee discussion as allowing staff to read meters from the office rather than drive routes, a change staff said would reduce field time.
