A pair of contracts were amended for the Water Resource Recovery Facility, the largest wastewater treatment facility in the U.S. One extended the time for a rehabilitation of the front entrance, and the other increased the funding for fire suppression system maintenance.

They seem to be discussing a contract, but I'm not sure which one

A motion was called on item 2024-250, which is a contract for Gasoline and Diesel Fuel for GLWA O&M. It passed unanimously

Next up is a contract for maintaining equipment (fire alarms, fire extinguishers). Navid Mehram said GLWA basically ran out of. Money for this maintenance and need more money

Nachum Eichenhorn @NachumDetroit 9/15

Mehram (COO-Wastewater Operating Services) got some questions from a board member about keeping on top of maintenance going forward, suggesting they hold the company contracted (Johnson Controls Fire Protection) "feet to the fire".

Nachum Eichenhorn @NachumDetroit 10/15

Mehram said there are many procedures to do just that

Nachum Eichenhorn @NachumDetroit 11/15

The motion passed unanimously.
