Texarkana board approves contracts for water-loss analytics and Stateline Corridor study

The Texarkana Board of Directors approved a three-item consent agenda that included two contract authorizations and approval of minutes. The board passed the consent agenda by motion and second and a voice vote.

The city will enter a contract with Holistic Utility Solutions to implement a non-revenue water reduction dashboard and analytics project intended to help the city track and reduce water loss. The board also authorized a contract with Plummer and Associates for a Stateline Corridor field investigation and coordination project serving the cities of Texarkana, Arkansas and Texarkana, Texas.

The consent vote was completed without recorded opposition. The approved items were introduced together as part of a single consent agenda to expedite routine business; no separate debate or amendments were recorded in the transcript.

Separately, the mayor recognized an employee service award and presented Brandon Usilton in the IT department with a 10-year service acknowledgment.
