Correct the motion's reference to 'two (2) District manholes'; the operator presented flushing devices for two fire hydrants.

Good practice: the minutes should match the item approved.

The board action behind it

2026-07-20: Approved operator's report, including write-off of 43 uncollectible accounts totaling $10,639.81; Inframark proposal for Level 2 inspection of eight force main manholes for $1,000.00 (BLD Services quoted $6,000.00); installation of two automatic flushing devices for $6,782.18; and repair of six fire hydrants for $1,200.00

What else happened at that meeting

The Board designated Lift Station No. 3 on Lake Somerville Crossing as the District's new location for posting meeting notices. It approved a proposal from Exact Stormwater Management to manage and maintain the District's bioswale at an estimated $43,900.14 per year and declined a customer's request to convert a parallel parking spot into an accessible space. The Board approved writing off 43 uncollectible accounts totaling $10,639.81 and approved Inframark proposals for force main manhole inspections, two automatic flushing devices and six fire hydrant repairs. It also ratified the business travel accident insurance and authorized the annual bond, tax and project database report to the Comptroller.

Why the board approved it

Recorded: “Two quotes for force-main manhole inspections (Inframark $1,000; BLD Services $6,000); hydrant survey found 6 of 97 needing repair (p.5).”

Good example of a recorded price comparison. The motion says the flushing devices go on 'two District manholes' while the presentation says fire hydrants.
