The board directed staff to proceed with shutting down Well #1 and purchasing water from Millview, aiming to improve water quality and avoid a roughly $50,000 manganese filtration system. A $46,180 contract was approved to replace 360 feet of sewer line on Moore Street Bridge. Staff clarified bills now show due in 10 days but are not past due until 30 days under state law.
Board postponed decisions on shutting down a low-producing well requiring costly filtration upgrades and replacing a deteriorating sewer line under Moore Street Bridge until financial details are clarified. Members struggled with the new Munis financial reporting system and asked for more explanation and training from the city's finance officer before acting on the reports. The only formal action taken was reappointing Stephen Ayers as board chair.
