Sole Source Resolutions for Flow Meters and UV Bulbs

resolution for open channel flow metering equipment and services and reissue a sole
source resolution to Berson Ultraviolet Systems for UV bulbs and equipment.

for the sewer and storm departments, staying with a common -based flow meter greatly
facilitates maintenance and data programming. The City Council previously issued a Sole
Source Resolution for Teledyne Isco flow metering equipment and services, but this
resolution has expired. Discussion followed with Mr. Kelly answering Council questions.
