Staff and a private contractor presented a plan to replace and retrofit the city’s water and electric meters with AMI—metering that sends readings and outage or leak alerts electronically. The project would cost just over $42 million with about $560,000 in annual third‑party fees, is estimated to be completed in about three years, and is expected to pay for itself in roughly 15 years. Residents may see brief service interruptions during installations, can request scheduled appointments for indoor meters, and may opt out but would pay additional fees. No contract was approved at this meeting; staff will return with a report before the contract is considered.
