Council approves $30,000 from water-and-sewer reserve for lake-patrol shoreline rehab

A staff member told the Tuscaloosa City finance committee that the lake patrol shoreline rehabilitation project, previously briefed by Mr. Gardner in projects committee, will cost about $30,000 and recommended using the water-and-sewer reserve contingency to pay for the work. "This one's going to be an easy one and you'll only hear me for two seconds," the staff member said when introducing the request.

The committee moved and seconded the item and the chair called the voice vote; the item was approved. The staff member said the use of the contingency is standard procedure for this type of small capital maintenance expense.

The decision authorizes staff to proceed with the shoreline repairs and use the contingency line of the water-and-sewer reserve fund to cover the cost. No further details on timing, contractor selection, or project scope were specified during the finance meeting.

The committee then moved on to other agenda items.
