From the meeting
At the September 21, 2026 meeting, Superintendent O'Dell reported that staff were pursuing a backup generator purchase the Board had authorized last month. He said Utility Superintendent Dave Ryan had already researched a possible joint purchase of two generators the same size as the existing unit to get better pricing. The Board has not selected a vendor yet, so the purchase is still being shaped.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
