23. WEATHERMATIC CONTROLLER (SPRINKLING SYSTEM) - Approved

Brianna Welch presented information on a program to water the cemeteries= grounds and possibly the rest of the City. Approximately one year ago, she approached the Finance Director about the possibility of implementing a watering program for the City. At one time, the program was very costly, but through her continued search, she found a company with a system called Weathermatic that was quite reasonable and has a very effective program. Controllers are programmed into a weather station that turns the sprinklers on only when the weather is dry. A zip code is used based on the latitude and longitude for the area. If an area receives moisture, the sprinklers are turned off for that day. The weather station tells the sprinklers when to activate. The cost to implement such a system in both cemeteries is approximately $2,947.12. If this proves effective, a system could be installed for the parks, Peace Garden, Heritage Garden, City Hall, etc., for a total of $5,648.88. The items can be purchased locally with a local landscape person to install them. Both the school district and the college have installed this systems and they seem quite happy with the program. MOTION. Councilmember Tatton moved that authorization be given to purchase the system for the cemeteries, get it installed this fall and have it ready to go for next spring. Motion seconded by Councilmember Aguayo and carried.
