FINANCIAL ADVISORY BOARD
MEETING JANUARY 23, 2006
i
R.O. Water Plant Generator:
I. Per a motion passed at the July 27, 2005 Financial Advisory Board meeting, the Town of
Highland Beach Commission moved to proceed with the procurement of a generator for the
RO Plant sized to include all Town buildings.
A. This will proceed under a declared emergency provision so a referendum is not required.
B. The FAB agrees with this procedure, as the generator required is indeed an emergency as
Proven during windstorm Wilma, three short months after the FAB motion was passed.
C. The THB Commission is further proceeding with adding the Town Hall, Police & Fire
Station and Library to the output of the generator.
D. The approximate cost of the addition is estimated to be $190,000.00. Since this is well
below the $350,000. threshold for a referendum this procedure appears to be within the
Town Code.
E. The FAB should endorse this separation of the two projects.
F. The Town Manager, Town Attorney and the members of the Commission should be
commended for finding a way to proceed with these two most important projects within
the Code.
Respectfully submitted,
Alan Teller Ch. FAB
