The Richmond Sanitary District Board of Commissioners met Jan. 13 and voted to retain its 2025 officer roster for 2026 with one change: Jessica Foster will serve as the district’s recording secretary, replacing Denise Johnson. The board also approved minutes from Dec. 23, 2025 and accepted invoices presented for payment.
The board approved invoices from check dates in December 2025 and Jan. 2, 2026 totaling $278,713.19. According to the itemized list read into the record, notable payments included two invoices from Brumbaugh Construction Inc. for $33,333.33 and $12,578.04; Commonwealth Engineers for $35,000; Keystone Cooperative for $32,573.43; Richmond Power and Light for $44,274.11; and Cummins Electric Inc. for $20,950. The transcript records the motion as “Approval of invoices totaling the amount of $278,713.19.” The motion was approved by voice vote.
During a year-end update, the district’s director told the board staff are finalizing last year’s budget reports with the finance department, reconciling trailing invoices and preparing the 2026 report, including updated averages and testing new data-collection technologies. Board members discussed late leaf pickup into January; the director said the street department fell behind because of snow while the sanitary district used buffer days to stay largely on schedule.
Under miscellaneous business, the board approved participation in the citywide vehicle collision/body-repair blanket agreement, a contract shared across city departments; the motion carried by voice vote. No additional details on contract bidders, term length or cost allocation among departments were provided in the transcript.
After adjourning the Sanitary District meeting, the assembly convened the Richmond Stormwater Board. The Stormwater Board likewise retained its 2025 officers for 2026 with Jessica Foster named recording secretary, approved minutes from Dec. 4, 2025, and approved invoices from December 2025 and Jan. 2, 2026 totaling $30,833.59. Each action in the Stormwater session passed on voice votes recorded as “Aye.”
The meetings concluded with adjournments for both boards. No contested votes, motions to amend, or public comments were recorded in the transcript provided.
