Approve expenditure limit on sewer connections materials.
The general manager reported that it would be best to purchase sewer
connection material in large quantities since we are doing quite a lot of
them. Buying in bulk would be a significant saving to the district.
Director Frank Kent reported that the district has been growing from
approximately 25 new sewer connection per year to several hundred, fiscal
year 2004-2005, 800; it is time to rethink our ordering process regarding
all the items used for sewer connections & sewer construction. I asked that
the spending limit on those items: pipe, saddles etc.. be raised from One
Thousand to Five Thousand Dollars.
By ordering larger amounts we will get better prices an we will not be
running out of needed items at critical periods. This will not be an
increase in the purchase of other district items such as tools, other
supplies or equipment.
A motion was made by Director Frank Kent and seconded by Director Robert
Butler to approve the increase in the limit to $5,000.00 for sewer
connections materials. Motion Carried 4 - 0
