4) Continued Business
a. Purchasing Discussion Director Reiten explained that purchases are generally based on the State
Bid process however, Pellicci Ace Hardware is working with the City to "match" pricing if they can.
Some things are cheaper going through other venders and the members acknowledged this process.
b. Well #8 Motor Update Director Reiten indicated that a worn bearing was part of the problem.
The motor was triple dipped and a mounting bracket installed. The Director felt it was "electricity"
causing the issue. It has since been grounded and is functioning as expected. It will be balanced in
March/April of this year. The Director also informed the board that a Decibel tester was purchased to
monitor the noise levels at all wells, monthly. This could be very proactive in determining any issues
with motors.
