Council notes hydro controller upgrade, finds 64 surplus meters and introduces new part‑time officer
Summary
Council Member Michael Broadbent reported an engineer will inspect the hydro controller for remote-restart capability and staff discovered 64 nearly new power meters (approx. $5,600 value). Police Chief Chad Huff introduced part‑time Officer Trevor Hooser who is nearing FTO completion.
Council Member Michael Broadbent told the Aug. 6 meeting that an engineer will inspect the hydro controller to improve operation during low-water years and allow remote reactivation when the system trips, avoiding staff driving to the hydro site. Broadbent said staff also identified 64 nearly new power meters acquired from Washington City, representing roughly $5,600 in equipment value at no cost to the city.
Police Chief Chad Huff introduced Trevor Hooser as a new part‑time officer, saying Officer Hooser previously worked for the Highway Patrol, has FDO training and is nearly finished with the department's field training (FTO). Huff said Officer Hooser will work one or two shifts weekly and provide on-call coverage when Huff is away. The council did not take formal action on these operational updates.
