The board action behind it

2026-06-15: Authorized Inframark to purchase and install a document box at the Lift Station No. 3 site for posting meeting notices

What else happened at that meetingThe Board authorized Inframark to buy and install a notice box at the Lift Station No. 3 site, after the President of the WCID 159 board asked that the District's posting location for meeting notices be moved there from Dragonfly Park. From the Year 3 sanitary manhole survey, which found 131 manholes needing attention, it approved only the Priority 1 repairs at $22,600.00. It also approved inspecting ten force main receiving manholes in Area 3 at $350.00 per inspection. The Board concurred in the award of the Parkland Village BLMZ Westgreen & Tuckerton Phase 2 Landscape Improvements contract to Allgreen Associates, with no amount stated in the minutes. It approved a fee increase in its engagement with Municipal Risk Management Group, L.L.C., added business travel accident coverage from Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., and authorized records destruction and the Voting System Annual Filing Form.
