1
00:00:00,719 --> 00:00:07,120
Oh, we're ready.
>> Noting quum, I'll call this meeting to

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:12,679
order. I would ask everyone to please
rise if you're able and join me in the

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,679
pledge followed by the invocation

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:22,400
to the flag of the United States of
America and to the republic for which it

5
00:00:19,119 --> 00:00:26,640
stands. One nation,
indivisible, with liberty and justice

6
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:31,519
for all.
Dear Lord, we thank you for this day and

7
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:35,600
its manifest bounty. We praise your name
knowing that we walk in your grace. We

8
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:40,399
acknowledge the fact that we are blessed
beyond what we'd serve. We ask that you

9
00:00:38,239 --> 00:00:44,399
grant us the courage, discernment, and
resolve so that we can faithfully

10
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:50,160
represent those who have placed us in
these positions of trust. In your son's

11
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:55,440
name we pray. Amen.
>> Amen.

12
00:00:53,120 --> 00:01:02,000
like to welcome everyone to our
Thursday, September the 10th, 2026

13
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:07,200
regular meeting at 5:30.
We've had our pledge and our invocation.

14
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:14,439
Uh do we have any uh citizens
presentations comments?

15
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,439
» We have the sheets back there, ladies.

16
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:23,200
» No one sign. Okay, very good. So, u I
won't read that since we don't have any

17
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:27,759
presentation or any citizen
presentations or comments. We'll look at

18
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:32,720
item four. We were going to have a
presentation by E3, but they've actually

19
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:37,920
called and noticed us that they have a
prior commitment. So, that's fine. We

20
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:43,119
will bring them up at the next available
meeting u soon as they notice that they

21
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:49,840
are uh able to attend. With that, we'll
move to uh item five, 5.1, discussion

22
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:54,640
regarding proposals and cost estimates
for sludge reduction lagoon dredging and

23
00:01:52,479 --> 00:02:00,399
capacity restoration at the city of
Wyvern wastewater treatment plant.

24
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:03,119
That'll be P pages 5 through 12. So, uh
David and then I'm sure ultimately to

25
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:07,040
Michael.
>> Yeah, it's going to be Michael.

26
00:02:04,479 --> 00:02:11,280
» Come on up, Michael.
>> Good evening, everybody. Um, I left a

27
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,480
rather large packet in front of all of
y'all. Uh, at the very beginning, it

28
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:19,680
starts with a service order status
report. I'm sorry I'm a little out of

29
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:23,760
line. We're going towards the very back.
Uh, you'll start seeing a few emails

30
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:27,760
that are coming from, uh, Dennis reading
at magnaflow.com.

31
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:32,239
Uh, Magnaflow is one of the largest
environmental companies around here.

32
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:35,440
That's actually who Strand had um gotten
quotes from in the years past for their

33
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:39,760
capital improvement projects just to
give us a base rate of what they would

34
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:43,200
be looking at. Uh
I know that we had talked about a

35
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:47,519
competitive bid around the 5 million
range before and that was from Magnaflow

36
00:02:45,519 --> 00:02:52,319
and I had them break down exactly what
they were looking at. Um from all the

37
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:57,840
sonar and everything else that we've uh
performed out on our lagoons, we're

38
00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:02,720
looking at about 45 46,000 cubic yards.
They had a quote. The quote that they

39
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:07,840
had for five million was for $8,320
cubic yards. But inside of that, they

40
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:12,640
also put that per cubic yard it would be
$300 per cubic yard. So times that by

41
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:16,480
46,000
that alone without mobilization fees,

42
00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:20,720
standard fees, the things that you know,
trip charges, things of that nature,

43
00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:24,080
we're looking at $14 million.
So rather big jump from what they

44
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:27,440
thought was initially there and what
they initially quoted. I've also had

45
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:32,080
another company come out that's right
behind that that's GFL Environmental.

46
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:38,879
They're out of need bill. Uh Magnaflow
is dumping in Crosby, so a lot closer.

47
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:42,879
Um and GFL has put in a bid for 11.1
million. And theirs is slightly

48
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:47,599
different. They're not doing it by cubic
yard. Uh they're going to dry it out on

49
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:52,319
our premises and then haul it as dry
sludge. So it would be tons instead of

50
00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:58,319
cubic yards. So that 46,000 cubic yards
comes out to about 40,000 tons. uh still

51
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,879
a rather large undertaking to get it out
and truck it. They're still going to

52
00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:05,439
transport it and all of that. It's just
a difference of a little bit less uh

53
00:04:02,799 --> 00:04:09,920
liquid weight versus drier weight and
how they're doing it. Slightly different

54
00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:13,840
process, but this is something that is
pretty indicative of any traditional

55
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:16,479
lagoon dredging company. It's they have
to come in and dredge it. That's all

56
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:22,720
going to be the same between these two
quotes. um they're going to have to

57
00:04:18,799 --> 00:04:27,440
dewater it slightly or uh into a a dry
mass like dry trash which is what the

58
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:31,600
GFL would be doing or and then after
that ultimately you have to truck it out

59
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:36,240
to a disposal site somewhere. This is
what a traditional dredging would look

60
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:40,960
like for our wastewater treatment plant.
Um I know this is unrealistic right now.

61
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:44,800
Um, so that's why I've been kind of
looking for any kind of unconventional

62
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:50,240
routes or anything that we may be able
to, you know, take an opportunity of.

63
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,600
But my main reason for bringing this to
discussion is one, I wanted to get all

64
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:59,440
these numbers in front of y'all and have
y'all thinking about this. And two,

65
00:04:57,199 --> 00:05:05,840
to try to determine which route we would
rather go towards as far as me doing the

66
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:10,240
leg work and pursuing other avenues. uh
do we stay with the triedand-rue method

67
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:13,600
at this exorbitant rate and try to
figure out a way to fund it in the next

68
00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:18,160
couple of years or do we try to do
something smaller even if we were to do

69
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:21,680
one lagoon out of our three I mean if
we're looking at 10 to 15 million a

70
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:26,000
third of that is still going to be
exorbitant

71
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:31,680
uh or we start trying to find ways to
reduce that slightly to a point that we

72
00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:35,840
could manage it now the other problem we
have with this you know I look at these

73
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:40,320
bids and I say we could build a new
brand new wastewater treatment plant for

74
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:45,039
that price. But the problem is we still
have to get rid of this sludge. So no

75
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:48,240
matter what, if we went down the street
and built something brand new, we're

76
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:52,639
still responsible to dispose of this the
proper way. So that's kind of the bind

77
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:57,039
that we're in right now. And that's why
I wanted to open the floor to this

78
00:05:54,400 --> 00:06:02,800
discussion.
>> What are your thoughts, Michael?

79
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:10,319
» Realistically, we need to do something.
And I I don't see where

80
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:14,639
if we were to do just one lagoon on a
traditional dredging, we would still be

81
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:20,319
looking at well over 20,000 cubic yards
or around 20,000 tons. So even at half

82
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:23,759
of that price, it's still almost
unreachable for anything that we

83
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:30,319
couldn't do, say even within a 5-year
plan, unless we go out for bond, CO,

84
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:34,720
something like that. or we try a couple
of routes of trying to slowly reduce

85
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:39,280
this to a point where we can get back in
and manage it on a more, you know, clean

86
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:43,440
it out a little bit better on our ends.
Uh, but the main thing is we we're at a

87
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:46,319
point where now where we have the rainy
season coming up. We haven't really had

88
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:50,240
any rain at the wastewater treatment
plant. So, it hasn't been pushed that

89
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:56,240
hard. But even the little bit of rains
that we have had in June, July, they've

90
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:59,840
pushed that plant to its limit. So, like
the permit and uh viol the permit

91
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:04,400
violations that we had when I first took
over here, the $48,000 and change that

92
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:09,360
was from in the middle of winter from
neglect. That isn't from having too much

93
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:14,080
water going in than what the permit is
asking for. It's just basically saying

94
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:19,599
that we had too many solids, too many uh
biolog too much biological oxygen

95
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:22,720
demand. This is if we get a big rain,
it's washing out what's there. We're

96
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:26,479
going over our permit, so we're
susceptible to violations. But when we

97
00:07:24,479 --> 00:07:29,919
go over that permit, since all that
sludge is at the bottom, it's that clear

98
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:34,319
water on top. If we get a big rush of
water, then now we're releasing not just

99
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:38,000
the water, the clean treated water, but
we're also getting mixed in with the the

100
00:07:36,479 --> 00:07:42,400
effluent and that sludge is getting
mixed in there, too. So now we would be

101
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:47,840
looking at possible total suspended
solids or BOD permit violations as well.

102
00:07:45,759 --> 00:07:52,319
So that's why I kind of think we need to
I can go down any avenue I can. You

103
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:57,280
know, I'll go down any avenue to try to
find some kind of resolution to this,

104
00:07:54,319 --> 00:08:01,280
but it's a major undertaking and
something has to we got to start working

105
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:09,280
towards a goal.
>> It sounds like that this E3 is proposing

106
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:13,599
one technological possibility. Mhm. I've
reached out to a few different uh

107
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:17,360
companies with a nano gas uh national
companies to see if they can try to help

108
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:22,080
us and give us a quote. Some more
competitive in compar in comparison. Uh

109
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:25,680
I'm still waiting and those are kind of
far and few between. The sludge hauling

110
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:29,759
companies alone that are actually doing
the dredging are few and far between. So

111
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:35,080
going to this technology is a little bit
harder to source, but I'm actively

112
00:08:31,599 --> 00:08:35,080
working on sourcing.

113
00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:42,560
And how many lagoons do we have? Is it
three? Three.

114
00:08:40,479 --> 00:08:46,320
» So, and the majority of everything goes
into one and then it just makes its way

115
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:50,080
into the second and the third. So, the
first one where everything comes into

116
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:53,040
that one's I mean completely overloaded
and then it's kind of a trickle down

117
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:56,320
effect. The second one nowhere near as
much as the first one. And then the

118
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:59,440
third one we have no air raators or
anything in it. It's more of what they

119
00:08:57,519 --> 00:09:03,279
call a polishing pond. just trying to
let it settle and clean up what's

120
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:06,000
already mostly treated and give it a
little bit of detention time before it's

121
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:10,080
released out into the creeks and
eventually the river.

122
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:14,480
» So throughout the three lagoons we're
looking at 46,000 you said cubic feet.

123
00:09:12,959 --> 00:09:18,399
» Yes.
>> Cubic yards

124
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:22,560
» cubic yards yards not sorry
>> no problem.

125
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:27,040
You know Bo had a a good point last
time. Wonder what what it would do any

126
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:30,800
good if you get a you know an agitator
in there. stir it all up, get the

127
00:09:28,959 --> 00:09:33,200
airators back in there going
>> if it would actually drop or help at

128
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:38,480
all.
>> The problem is whatever we do with how

129
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:42,160
overloaded we are, it has to be very
small, very managed because anything

130
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:45,440
that's going to be stirred up just like
a big rain that comes through, it's

131
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:49,120
going to stir that sludge to the point
where now it's in suspension. So every

132
00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:51,839
bit of clean water that's going over the
top and the sludge that's going to the

133
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:56,480
bottom, they're not going to separate.
So now we're going to have higher um to

134
00:09:54,240 --> 00:10:00,800
total suspended solids and BOD which is
with things that are in our permit that

135
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:04,480
we have to sample for weekly. So
anything with this you have to go real

136
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:07,440
small just to make sure we're not going
to bust our permit while we're actively

137
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,560
trying to fix this.
>> So it could create more violations.

138
00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:15,200
» Absolutely.
>> So it looks like with Magnaflow it's

139
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:20,240
it's a per trailer. So you could do you
could do $200,000 worth of Magnaflow for

140
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:24,000
example and they could come in and
they'll get organic and inorganic,

141
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:27,839
right?
>> Yes.

142
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:31,920
» And so then if they did that, we know we
just other words instead of trying to do

143
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:34,880
the entire leg completely full,
>> right?

144
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:40,320
» You clean 25% of it,
>> right? And then that gets you down where

145
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:45,360
then what Councilman Chrisman was saying
then you can get in there with the

146
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:51,279
agitators agitated out and try to airate
the organic sludge because

147
00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:53,680
» aation isn't going to do anything to
inorganic sludge is it?

148
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:57,760
» Right. Correct.
>> And similarly I'm not knocking E3 but

149
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,160
the nanobubbles aren't going to do
anything to inorganic sludge either are

150
00:10:59,839 --> 00:11:04,399
they?
>> Correct. And even with um with Magnaflow

151
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:08,240
or any of these companies, they're not
taking any or inorganics, the gravel,

152
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:12,000
the sand, all of that that's getting
pushed off to the side and we would be

153
00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:16,240
left to dispose of. And since it's sand,
gravel, things like that, we can easily

154
00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:19,120
dispose of that once we let it dry. But
they're not going to put this through

155
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:22,800
their equipment that's literally meant
to dewater all of the sludge. They're

156
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,920
not going to get all those filters and
things like that full of something

157
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:30,640
that's not going to filter out and
dewater. It would basically plug their

158
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:34,880
filter. So either way we go, anything
that's trash in there that's not organic

159
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:38,959
sludge, we're going to be ultimately
responsible for or we'll be calling in

160
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:42,399
rolloffs and things of that nature to
dispose of it in traditional garbage

161
00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:50,800
means.
>> Do you have a sense of how much is?

162
00:11:47,839 --> 00:11:55,440
No, we have a we've been going through
with uh sludge depth gauges where we can

163
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:59,760
go through and check the sludge depth.
Uh and we're not pulling up any giant

164
00:11:57,839 --> 00:12:04,000
amounts of rock, sand, anything
noticeable in any of that. It's solid

165
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:09,040
sludge. I mean, whenever we empty out
our sludge depth gauges, we're not

166
00:12:06,399 --> 00:12:13,120
getting any kind of composite of gravel,
anything that's clogging those up. It's

167
00:12:10,959 --> 00:12:17,360
just straight mud and a little bit of
liquid on top. And then as you go into

168
00:12:15,279 --> 00:12:20,560
the second and third ponds, you get a
lot less sludge and a lot more water.

169
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,839
But in that first pond, pretty much
anywhere you're going, you get very

170
00:12:22,399 --> 00:12:27,680
little water on top. And that's kind of
where we're at where those big rains, it

171
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:31,680
just kind of skims like a rock right
across that. And what doesn't skim

172
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:36,240
across the top, it stirs it up violently
enough that it'll start dragging it out

173
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:39,519
slowly.
And that's the name of the game, I

174
00:12:37,839 --> 00:12:44,160
guess, if we're trying to go with say
like the nanobubbles is trying to slowly

175
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:48,720
stir it up just enough that we can
manage and control what's coming out of

176
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:52,560
it so that we don't bust permits or
anything like that. It would be

177
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:56,240
something that would be going through
much more extensive sampling than what

178
00:12:54,320 --> 00:13:01,920
we're currently doing once a week.
>> Would would a partial

179
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:06,560
dredging of the first lagoon give you
more of a safety comfort level than to

180
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:07,920
start with aation.
>> Absolutely.

181
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:13,680
» Okay.
>> Absolutely.

182
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:18,160
» And then the only other
thought or worry that we have is because

183
00:13:15,839 --> 00:13:23,440
these ponds are in series, so everything
goes from one to the second to the third

184
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:26,800
is as we clean up the first pond, is it
going to get all the way through the

185
00:13:24,639 --> 00:13:30,240
second and through the third and out, or
is it just going to build up into number

186
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:34,480
two or build up into number three before
it actually leaves the plant into the

187
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:38,000
creeks?
>> Certainly. Whatever we do, it certainly

188
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:41,839
makes sense to start with pond one.
>> Absolutely. Absolutely.

189
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,720
» And this incremental process sounds at
least

190
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:48,399
» a starting point.
>> Absolutely.

191
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:53,120
» So that we can begin to manage this.
>> And in these they have it broken down

192
00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:59,199
from Magnaflow as well as GFL. Like I
said, slightly different uh units of

193
00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:05,440
measurement, but on for Magnaflow,
they're basically showing $300 per yard

194
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:11,040
per yard for per cubic yard, I'm sorry.
And then um the GFL, since they're

195
00:14:08,079 --> 00:14:16,240
drying it out to more like dry cow patty
type consistency, they're doing it by

196
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:22,560
actual dry weight. So, but for theirs,
it's 284

197
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:28,880
uh per ton. essentially $284 per ton of
dry weight or $300 per cubic yard from

198
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:32,959
Magnaflow. So either way they're
slightly comparable. The only difference

199
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:38,480
is with Magnaflow being using cubic
yards is we're paying for a lot more

200
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:42,720
water weight, you know, versus where
they're drying it out to dry cow patty.

201
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:47,920
It's we're not hauling water and paying
this expense for it as much. Typical

202
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:53,760
sludge is anywhere, even when it's dried
out, 14 to 18% solid. Everything else is

203
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:58,399
water. So, no matter what we do, we're
hauling a lot of water.

204
00:14:57,199 --> 00:15:02,399
» Less would be better.
>> Absolutely. Absolutely.

205
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:09,399
» Okay.
>> Any other questions for me about this?

206
00:15:06,399 --> 00:15:09,399
» Anybody?

207
00:15:10,079 --> 00:15:14,920
» Thank y'all.
>> Thank you, Michael.

208
00:15:15,199 --> 00:15:21,360
Move to item six, introduction of new
employees. I don't see any names. We

209
00:15:19,839 --> 00:15:25,839
have anyone, David?
>> Not yet. We're working on one. Very

210
00:15:23,839 --> 00:15:29,120
close. So, okay. By next meeting, we
should have one.

211
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:33,199
» That's good. All right. Item seven, city
manager and staff reports. David.

212
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:39,279
» Uh,
mayor, council, if I can uh look at page

213
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:42,279
13 in the council packet. That'll be my
report.

214
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:54,000
I guess uh I'll just hit a couple of
highlights. Uh Wana celebrated 25 years

215
00:15:50,079 --> 00:15:58,079
with the city this month. Um you might
have seen her on the front page of the

216
00:15:55,199 --> 00:16:03,639
Wymer Mercury with the mayor. So she was
very proud of that.

217
00:15:59,519 --> 00:16:03,639
» She should be very good employee.

218
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:11,839
» We've added another aiator to uh pond
number one. So we've got all that

219
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:16,880
working. Two on pond two, three on pond
one. That's helping a little bit improve

220
00:16:14,639 --> 00:16:19,880
things, keep it stable.
>> Um,

221
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,959
the vault for the backflow device at the
golf course has been completed. Now,

222
00:16:23,519 --> 00:16:27,519
Michael, when are we scheduled to put
that in?

223
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,959
» Um, we're waiting on the golf course.
The golf course is working with Western

224
00:16:29,199 --> 00:16:34,240
Heritage. They should believe I believe
it's either this Monday and Tuesday

225
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:37,839
coming or the following Monday.
>> A week or two that should be in place.

226
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:41,440
Okay, good.
Um, and again, I'll skip down. I'll let

227
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:46,079
you look at the others if you have any
questions. Um, another piece of good

228
00:16:44,079 --> 00:16:51,920
news is Maria has decided to stay with
the city. So, she'll be staying with us.

229
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:55,759
So, thank you very much, Maria.
>> And then we will uh hire that the new

230
00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:00,240
employee I've been talking about earlier
uh is a court clerk and we're in the

231
00:16:57,759 --> 00:17:05,800
process of hiring her.
>> Very good.

232
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,800
» Okay. Any questions on that report?

233
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:16,120
» We'll move to Clay
Mayor Council. investment starting 14.

234
00:17:21,199 --> 00:17:28,280
Moving over to the different funds
break down here

235
00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:38,120
cash

236
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:54,120
as far as the credit card statements for
the

237
00:17:51,120 --> 00:17:54,120
very

238
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,960
small amounts.

239
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,600
Vehicle repairs veryatches

240
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,080
on those

241
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:34,679
Clay, what do we do with the CD that
renewed

242
00:18:31,679 --> 00:18:34,679
» prosperity

243
00:18:34,799 --> 00:18:39,080
just renewed it There he is.

244
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:35,520
Everybody good?
>> Okay, we'll move to uh chief.

245
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:43,919
Thank you, mayor, council. Um report for
the month of um August. We had 181 calls

246
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:50,640
for service. Uh reports generated out of
28. We had seven arrests out of that as

247
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:55,200
well. 142 traffic contacts, um 89
written warnings, 53 citations.

248
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:58,160
Um other than that, I don't have a lot
to report on other than the fact that we

249
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:03,600
have National Night Out coming up
Tuesday, October the 6th between 4:30

250
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:06,960
and 8:30 in front of the Wymer Library
on Jackson Street between Mechanic and

251
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:10,240
Center. So, we're looking forward to
that. We'll have hamburgers and snow

252
00:20:09,039 --> 00:20:14,720
cones and different things like that.
So, we'd like to invite the public out

253
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:18,559
for that as well. um be a fun night I
believe. And one other thing to mention

254
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:22,880
is uh tomorrow is the 25th anniversary
of 911. I think that's a that's a big

255
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:25,919
thing to think about and um we all know
exactly what we were probably doing the

256
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:29,039
day that that happened. So our hearts
and prayers are still with all those

257
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:32,640
families that still are looking to
identify their family members. I was up

258
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:37,280
in New York City a couple years ago.
There's a room there that still has um

259
00:20:35,679 --> 00:20:41,200
the remains of people that still have
not been identified, believe it or not.

260
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:45,200
And they work on it daily. So, if you
ever get a chance to go to New York City

261
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:48,960
to experience the museum and the
memorial, it's very well worth it. So,

262
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:56,520
anyway, just just want to throw that out
there. Any other questions for me,

263
00:20:53,039 --> 00:20:56,520
» right? Thank you'all.

264
00:20:57,120 --> 00:21:00,120
» Michael

265
00:21:01,919 --> 00:21:07,760
again. All right. So, uh we've been
rather busy this month. As you know,

266
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:11,360
with the drought comes water leaks and
sewer leaks. So, we've had quite a few

267
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:14,880
popping up on us. Uh, but most have been
pretty much managed. Uh, we've also been

268
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:18,240
working with St. Michael School. We've
had a few leaks around their area,

269
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:23,039
leaking fire hydrants from the flow
testing, things like that. We've got

270
00:21:20,159 --> 00:21:26,240
most of those knocked out now. Um, I
want to thank uh Colorado County

271
00:21:24,559 --> 00:21:30,159
Precinct 2. They came out and helped us
with their articulating cutter mow at

272
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:34,720
the wastewater treatment plants on the
banks and things like that, areas that

273
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:39,360
are harder to get with a regular mower.
U, did a fabulous job out there. And

274
00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:43,440
then our we had a small leak off of this
12-in line off of uh East Market and

275
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:47,919
Southeast Street. Got our isolation
valve in. So, we were waiting on one

276
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:51,360
last part we just got in to actually
attack the leak itself. But now,

277
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:54,960
whenever we do that, it may take us two
or three days to do that leak as big as

278
00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:58,799
it is. But, it's only going to affect
two unoccupied rental houses. So, nobody

279
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:04,000
will lose water throughout any of it now
that we have this isolation valve in.

280
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:08,320
Um, as we mentioned, the golf course is
ready to install their backflow. We've

281
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:12,559
taken care of everything on our end and
the their side of it was to hire the

282
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:16,240
plumber and set it up and have it
installed. So, we've provided all the

283
00:22:14,559 --> 00:22:23,840
parts, the hardware, the everything else
for it. Um, also, we're still waiting uh

284
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:27,760
working with Han equipment right now to
get a booster pump at plant one

285
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:32,320
repaired. Well, really a booster pump at
both plants that boosts and pushes our

286
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:37,360
water up to the water towers. Uh we had
the one go down shortly after we had uh

287
00:22:35,039 --> 00:22:42,480
awarded a contract for our ground
storage tank resealing and paint job and

288
00:22:40,559 --> 00:22:45,919
it's taken down the plant that would be
the only one running whenever that uh

289
00:22:44,559 --> 00:22:49,440
painting is going on. So we're waiting
to get the pump in to make sure that we

290
00:22:48,159 --> 00:22:53,600
don't have any kind of emergency
situation once that other treatment

291
00:22:52,159 --> 00:22:59,039
plant goes down for a week or two for
that paint job. uh anticipate sometime

292
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:04,480
in early to mid October. As soon as we
get that pump in and verified, we'll

293
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:09,520
have that paint job going. Um also,
we've gotten the ADA mulch in that we

294
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:13,840
were uh using for the playgrounds and
the playgrounds at Chaverfield and Hill

295
00:23:11,679 --> 00:23:19,600
Park all have fresh new ADA compliant
mulch. And speaking of uh the parks at

296
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:22,880
Hill Park, we've been out there, our
linemen have been out there for the

297
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:26,960
better part of the month working on
changing out all the lights for the

298
00:23:24,559 --> 00:23:29,760
baseball fields. Uh not only changing
the lights, but getting the poles down

299
00:23:28,159 --> 00:23:33,360
and putting brand new steel poles in and
running all the conduit and things like

300
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:36,880
that. So, it's been a pretty large
undertaking for them and it's been

301
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:40,559
mostly two to three guys at a time that
have been doing it. So, they've been

302
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:45,600
doing a fabulous job out there. And on
top of that, um, on the electric side,

303
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:50,640
we had a company come through that did
some thermal imaging of all of our, uh,

304
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:53,520
basically everything electric, not just
the power line poles, but they came

305
00:23:52,159 --> 00:23:57,919
through the water plants, the wastewater
plants, anything that's electrical. And

306
00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:04,320
they used a flare camera for thermal
imaging to find hot spots, anywhere that

307
00:24:01,120 --> 00:24:08,159
has a little arc or undersized cable,
anything like that that might cause a

308
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:13,360
potential fire hazard. uh they came
through and I think all in all from

309
00:24:10,799 --> 00:24:18,960
major to minor they found 38 things.
Four were like act now and we had those

310
00:24:16,159 --> 00:24:23,919
resolved in 24 hours a day or two and
then we have a few minor little t little

311
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:27,919
small things that we could work on but
they were in no way shape or form

312
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:32,559
hazardous or anything like that. Upsize
a wire maybe there's a problem here

313
00:24:29,919 --> 00:24:36,320
things of that nature. Michael. Uh, and
because of them coming out and doing

314
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:40,240
that infrared, it led us to find that
that pump was Yes. going back

315
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:43,440
overheating. So, was a bearing, we
didn't notice the sound,

316
00:24:41,679 --> 00:24:45,520
» but that's what would have caused major
problems if they hadn't come in and did

317
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:50,320
that imaging.
>> Absolutely. Thank you, David.

318
00:24:47,679 --> 00:24:51,919
» Any other questions for me right now?
>> Thank you.

319
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,919
» All right. Okay, I'll see you all
shortly.

320
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:10,400
» Thank you, David. Mayor, city council,
city of Wymer.

321
00:25:06,799 --> 00:25:15,200
Uh, for the library visits, we had 496
for August, which is lower than usual

322
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:18,880
for August. Usually it's because of
school starting back up and we start

323
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:22,559
getting less and less kids until later
on they start finding out they need to

324
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:26,880
get books too from our libraries and
besides just the school. Uh we kind of

325
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:33,279
help them out with the AR points and all
that. Uh for the checkouts for Libby for

326
00:25:31,039 --> 00:25:39,440
audio books, we only had about 15 for
the audiobooks in August and then for

327
00:25:36,159 --> 00:25:43,520
ebooks we had about 40 uh checked out on
that. So pretty low this time.

328
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,000
Hopefully, we'll get back into it.
Definitely during the holidays and when

329
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:52,240
it starts getting colder, people will be
looking up books online more. All right,

330
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:58,720
for our on page 30, we have our
circulation activity and see how it's

331
00:25:54,480 --> 00:26:04,960

holdings of materials in our library.

332
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:13,039
And right now we have 1,873

00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:16,000
Good evening. Uh code
not a not a super busy month. Uh few

380
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:21,760
abandoned vehicles, various property
issues that I've been working on uh with

381
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:26,159
the code and law enforcement. Uh we
started uh the process with the speed

382
00:30:23,679 --> 00:30:32,240
limit signs. Uh we're going to kind of
do it in two phases. Uh, we got to work

383
00:30:28,799 --> 00:30:37,120
on locates to put the posts up. So,
we're going to start in the south side

384
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:42,799
of town, south of basically the railroad
tracks south. Uh, we're going to start

385
00:30:39,279 --> 00:30:48,240
there, get the speed limit signs going.
Uh, they're ordered in here and posts

386
00:30:45,279 --> 00:30:51,039
and everything is ready to go. So, uh,
animal control.

387
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:56,640
» Yep.
>> It was pretty busy this month. Uh, a lot

388
00:30:54,080 --> 00:31:01,679
of animal calls. I was able to adopt out
three different dogs with the help of

389
00:30:58,799 --> 00:31:06,720
Columbus Rescue. I was able to get that
done.

390
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:12,480
That's about it. Continuing on my law
enforcement duties as well. So, any

391
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:17,200
questions?
>> Thank you, J.

392
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:22,799
» And Maria,
>> yes, but we're still staying busy with

393
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:28,480

there. We'll have a new employee that

394
00:31:25,279 --> 00:31:32,960
will take over and so she should start
September 28th. So

395
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:37,279
» that should be helpful for all
concerned.

396
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:41,840
» Okay,
>> mayor council. That's it for my reports.

397
00:31:39,519 --> 00:31:45,600
» Very good. Thank you. Move on to item
eight, consent agenda. All consent items

398
00:31:43,919 --> 00:31:49,279

on by one single vote. Any council

399
00:31:47,679 --> 00:31:53,760
member may request that an item be
removed from the consent agenda for

400
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:59,600
individual consideration. 8.1 approval
of the record city council minutes of

401
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:04,559
August 13, 2026. 8.2 approval of the
special city council meeting minutes of

402
00:32:01,279 --> 00:32:08,960
September 1, 2026.
and 8.3 approval of temporary closure of

the use of city barricades andor traffic
control devices as available. payment

407
00:32:32,799 --> 00:32:40,279
» uh on that particular item 8.3 uh pages
35 to 38

408
00:32:41,039 --> 00:32:47,760
probably page 38 would be the best one
to look at. That's the area it's going

409
00:32:44,559 --> 00:32:50,760
to be uh blocked off for uh rock to
block

410
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:58,559
shouldn't impact anything. It should be
pretty good. It's a really good area.

411
00:32:56,799 --> 00:33:01,120
It's well lit. We got the lights across
the streets and everything right in

412
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:06,919
front of the library there. So,
>> they've been so successful.

» You got council note is an action item.
>> Go ahead.

415
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:22,960
» Oh, on 33 32.1
you looked on it. Uh, city council or

416
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:27,120
the city attorney Bo Dawson and that
part of it where it says the city staff

417
00:33:25,039 --> 00:33:30,600
present. I don't think he was here on
August 13th.

418
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:38,120
» Yeah, just to let you know that. And
then

419
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,120
um

420
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:47,600
on page 34,
you have the number six. Will we

421
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:53,360
adjourn?
It says um June 30th instead of

422
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:57,200
September 1st on that special meeting.
>> Okay.

423
00:33:54,880 --> 00:34:01,799
Those are the only two things that I I
mean other than little.

424
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,760
» Thank you, Christina.

425
00:34:12,639 --> 00:34:19,599
» Council pleasure. We'll take a motion.
>> I'll make the motion that we appro uh

426
00:34:17,679 --> 00:34:23,919
approve the consent agenda with the
corrections that Christina noted.

427
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:28,720
» Motion Roberts.
>> Second. Second Barren. Any further

428
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:33,359

action to award and execute construction

per the engineers recommendation to the
low bidder McDonald Municipal and

433
00:34:50,240 --> 00:34:58,520
Industrial for the city's TDEM HMGP
grant contract number 4586-15

00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:05,599
for the city's emergency generator at
water plant number one. David and

435
00:35:03,599 --> 00:35:12,800
Michael.
>> Um, mayor, council, the items will be on

436
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:19,119
pages 39 to 41. And we have Bradley Lure
from Befco here and he will be glad to

437
00:35:17,119 --> 00:35:24,000
elaborate maybe a little bit. Good
evening everybody, mayor and council.

438
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:30,480
Hope you all have been doing doing well.
Uh, the two pages that Mr. Mason had

439
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:36,160
alluded to should include a bid award
recommendation letter signed by Chad and

440
00:35:33,599 --> 00:35:40,880
then also followed by a bid what we call
a bid tabulation that shows the four

441
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:47,520
different biders that provided the bids
for the three various bid items. Um as

442
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:53,920
you can see there we received pricing
from four different biders.

443
00:35:50,480 --> 00:36:00,000
Um, I have worked personally with uh
McDonald and JNK Ready Power and Texas

444
00:35:57,119 --> 00:36:03,359
Municipal or new to to just me
personally. Chad may have worked for

445
00:36:01,359 --> 00:36:11,280
them in the past. Uh, but as you can
see, we ranged in price from 173069

446
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:19,280
for McDonald up to 294,346
uh with JNK. This is for a new 350

447
00:36:17,119 --> 00:36:22,960
kilowatt diesel power generator at water
plant one which is maybe referred to as

448
00:36:21,359 --> 00:36:27,920
Jackson Street Water Plant next to the
city warehouse

449
00:36:24,720 --> 00:36:35,440
um based upon past successful work with
McDonald. pricing at 173069

450
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:42,320
and within the the budget um in the
application it's SPFO's recommendation

451
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:47,200
to um for the council to award to enter
into a cont construction contract with

452
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:51,320
McDonald Municipal Indust Industrial for
173 069

453
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,440
» council this is an action item

454
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:04,359
There any other questions?
>> Any questions?

455
00:37:12,079 --> 00:37:18,079
» I guess because this is like a saying a
new one. So, we have one existing and

456
00:37:16,720 --> 00:37:21,040
it's not working. So, we just got to
replace it. Is that

457
00:37:19,359 --> 00:37:25,200
» I'm I'm not sure about the not working
part. Chad was kind of overseeing this

458
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:27,119
project and he's on vacation. So I'm
kind of filling in today.

459
00:37:26,240 --> 00:37:29,760
» Okay.
>> Uh David or Michael maybe I'll answer

460
00:37:29,359 --> 00:37:35,440
that.
>> Operational. It's quite a bit older. I

461
00:37:31,839 --> 00:37:39,599
mean it's I think 20 years plus. Um then
this would be newer upsized as well. And

462
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:43,200
this is part of Tedum which is Texas
Department of Emergency Management. So

463
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:47,599
this is a grant to help boost our water
supply make sure that we factory water

464
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:50,240
even in the matter of power outage or
something.

465
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:53,240
» Correct. Thank you.
>> Okay.

466
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:08,920
I'll make a motion to award and execute
a construction contract in the amount of

467
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,920
$173,69

468
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:18,640

>> Thank you, council.

476
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:51,280
» Thank you.
>> Thank you, Brett. Discussion,

477
00:38:49,839 --> 00:38:55,359
consideration, and possible action
regarding proposals for the replacement

478
00:38:53,119 --> 00:39:01,280
and installation of existing lift
station pump and approval of recommended

479
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:05,599
proposal in the amount of $18,458
and authorizing the city manager to

480
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:09,040
execute the necessary documents. David
and Michael. Michael.

481
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:12,320
» All right. So, this is uh going to be
going on our cabinet lift station, which

482
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:16,400
is actually one of our highest use lift
stations. Uh on average day, those pumps

483
00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:22,320
are running between 8 and 12 hours a
day, split between two. So, uh, four to

484
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:26,240
six at least on average. We had a, uh,
issue where recently I had somebody out

485
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:30,079
looking at the hotel lift station and
then we went by this one after doing

486
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:34,240
rounds and something had tripped inside
of the cabinet. Thankfully, this was

487
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:38,640
right after we completed our rounds.
But, it was already smoking after about

488
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:42,880
40 minutes of something overloaded it
and it just kept uh, firing. So, with

489
00:39:41,119 --> 00:39:47,680
this being our most used lift station
and not having some kind of SCADA, auto

490
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:53,280
dialer, some kind of alert system other
than audio visual and hoping the

491
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:57,760
neighbors call us in time. Uh, this is
going to be to replace this with a brand

492
00:39:54,960 --> 00:40:01,760
new uh, flight in propeller pump, but
they're also going to put trip overloads

493
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:06,079
onto this so it can never just sit there
and run non-stop. It has something to

494
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:08,880
physically stop it. And it this didn't
completely burn up that pump. It's still

495
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:12,320
operating just fine, the one that's
there, but the one that's there isn't a

496
00:40:10,720 --> 00:40:16,079
grinder or anything like that. So, we're
constantly having to pull it because one

497
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:20,480
is able to shred up small debris and
then the other one can't at all. So,

498
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:24,240
that one's ragging up. So, my my thought
and what I'd like to do with this, we

499
00:40:22,079 --> 00:40:28,400
have no backup pumps whatsoever. I'd
like to pull the one non- grinder pump

500
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:32,079
out of the cab lift station, install
this overload with this new pump, and

501
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:35,440
then we have something on backup that if
anything were to go out, we can drop

502
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:40,320
into any one of our lift stations at any
given time. uh had a few different

503
00:40:37,599 --> 00:40:45,200
quotes. Uh but these are I specifically
went after uh flight pumps. Flight pumps

504
00:40:43,359 --> 00:40:47,599
are the Cadillacs. Uh you put them in
the ground, you don't have to worry

505
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:52,079
about them. Again, hydroatics and all
the other ones, they have more

506
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:55,680
temperamental issues, but Flight is the
only one with the end propeller that uh

507
00:40:53,839 --> 00:40:59,680
guarantees that they will not clog up or
rag up within 12 months. They have

508
00:40:57,599 --> 00:41:03,440
actual guarantees on their product. I've
used them before in quite a few places

509
00:41:01,599 --> 00:41:07,040
and whenever I've used them, I didn't
have to do lift station rounds near as

510
00:41:05,119 --> 00:41:11,680
regular as something that we do here
because I can depend on them to work.

511
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:16,640
So, I would like to I recommend that we
go ahead with this uh flight pump from

512
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:19,599
Honda equipment. Any questions
>> and the pump that's being pulled would

513
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:22,880
become a backup pump.
>> Absolutely. And that would be able to

514
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:26,640
fit basically every lift station except
for like the hotel where it's only

515
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:30,560
feeding the hotel and Turbo Joe's the
very small ones. But for the most part,

516
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:34,599
all of our other lift stations, we could
drop it in at any given time.

517
00:41:35,599 --> 00:41:40,839
» Council, this is an action item for your
pleasure.

518
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:52,800
» I move to approve the recommended
proposal for the replacement and the

519
00:41:51,119 --> 00:41:57,839
installation of the existing lift
station pump in the amount not to exceed

520
00:41:55,359 --> 00:42:01,920
$18,458
and authorize the city mayor to execute

521
00:41:59,839 --> 00:42:05,760
the necessary documents.
>> Motion Barons.

522
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:11,839
» Second.
>> Second Roberts. Any further discussion?

523
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:17,040
All those in favor?
>> Any opposed?

524
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:20,960
Motion passes. Move to 9.3.
discussion, consideration, and possible

525
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:27,200
action to approve the purchase of a lane
chart HH4 rotary brush cutter from King

526
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:32,240
Ranch A and turf of Katy, Texas in the
amount, and that's going to be an

527
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:34,800
amended amount of $11,940.
Is that right, David?

528
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:40,079
» Correct.
>> Uh, and authorize the city manager to

529
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:43,680
execute all necessary documents. And
David can explain what that's about.

530
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:46,000
» Yeah. Michael, you want to explain that
we're actually going to go to a

531
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:50,240
different vendor?
>> Absolutely. Yes, we're actually uh going

532
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:54,880
to move from King Ranch and go to Clybar
out of Lraange to try to keep it local.

533
00:42:52,319 --> 00:42:59,119
Uh all of the companies that I reached
out to since this is a third party uh

534
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:04,000
manufactured item, they're just
resalers, everybody is quoting the exact

535
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:10,880
same MSRP at $9,999
or $9,990. I apologize. Uh so the only

536
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:14,480
difference is either freight cost or the
actual conversion kick for the uh

537
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:18,960
constant flow of the hydraulic system.
And that's varying between the bids by

538
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:22,960
just a few hundred dollars. But that's
really the only difference in the bids

539
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:27,040
is the price for the actual conversion
to the constant flow.

540
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:30,359
» And the conversion kit is needed.
>> Yes, absolutely.

541
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:37,520
Uh this is also the type of implement
that uh the Colorado County Precinct 2

542
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:41,760
used to help us out with the banks at
the lagoon, but also where we've created

543
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:44,640
our new alleyway easements and things
like that where people aren't parking in

544
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:49,200
the alleys, people aren't maintaining
them near as much. This cuts time

545
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:52,319
exponentially. We could put a shredder
on the back and have this implement on

546
00:43:50,720 --> 00:43:56,400
the front and be clearing up fence lines
and everything while we're shredding at

547
00:43:53,680 --> 00:44:00,240
the same time all with one tractor.
>> Very good.
