ITEM:
Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding the purchase of a wastewater grinder using funds from the Operating Reserve/Repair/Contingency Account under the Bond Indenture capital expense of the San Luis Regional Detention and Support Center. (Kay Marion Macuil, General Counsel)
SUMMARY:
In November of 2024, the San Luis Regional Detention and Support Center needed the wastewater grinder equipment replaced. The wastewater from the Detention Center passes through a wastewater grinder before the wastewater flows to the wastewater treatment plant. The wastewater grinder is designed to shred and grind solids, preventing clogs and damage to wastewater systems. This is needed for detention facilities due to the large number of meals and kitchen waste, as well as detainees flushing debris down the toilets. The City of San Luis has been paying for the maintenance of the wastewater grinder over the years. However, the need for the equipment is due to the particular needs of the Detention Center. The quote provided is for $20,111.72
LaSalle Corrections requests permission to purchase the wastewater grinder using funds from the Operating Reserve/Repair/Contingency Account under Section 5.069(e) of the Bond Indenture. Since the San Luis Facility Development Corporation is the bond issuer, the Board is responsible for making the request to the Trustee at U.S. Bank.
The Board's staff contacted the Trustee at U.S. Bank (Charles S. Hodges) for the account balance. As of November 7, 2024, the balance was $540,492.89.
