Item 30 Passed 9-0
In plain language — from the agenda backup
Austin Water wants to lock in a contract with Pencco Inc. to supply fluorosilicic acid — the chemical used to fluoridate the city's drinking water — for two years, with the option to renew for up to three more. The deal is capped at $2,950,000, with $245,833 ready in the current Austin Water operating budget and the rest depending on future budgets getting approved. It's a routine but essential piece of keeping the taps running for everyone in town.
