What: security gates at the city water treatment plants, bid at $194,470 by the lowest responsible bidder.
Where it stands: added to the agenda by unanimous vote on 2026-10-21 after being left off; staff called it imperative given cyber threats and chemicals on site. The final vote was not captured clearly.
Next: confirm the vote in the minutes once posted.
Item left off the agenda; a unanimous vote was required to add it.
One member asked whether the money could be used elsewhere; staff said it is budgeted and necessary, and the new Southeast water plant will need gates too.
