Seymour Board of Public Works and Safety: Seymour board approves $455,930 public-safety server purchase and $28,000 right-of-way payment

Seymour Board of Public Works and Safety: Seymour’s Board of Public Works approved a five-year, $455,930 purchase of a new Spillman server system for police, county sheriff and EMS operations, contingent on the county committing to pay half. The city and county are each expected to make annual payments of $48,428.18. The board also approved paying an additional $28,000 identified by court-appointed appraisers for a right-of-way purchase to avoid further court and attorney costs. In addition, the board discussed using about $314,000 in remaining State Revolving Fund money for two wastewater flow meters and a structure and controls covering the treatment plant’s UV section, but the minutes do not record a vote approving those projects. Several vendor, food-truck, park-reservation, sidewalk-cut and sewer-bill-adjustment requests were approved. The server purchase’s next step is securing the county’s 50% commitment; the minutes give no construction schedule for the wastewater projects.
