Finance Committee Meeting
May 18, 2026
On Monday, May 18, 2026, the Finance Committee met in the Planning Commission Room of the
Municipal Office. Present were Committee members Funkhouser, Heishman, and Manning, Council
member Bennett, Town Manager Aaron Grisdale, Deputy Town Manager Michelle Bixler and
Director of Finance Tammy DePhillip
Mr. Funkhouser called the meeting to order at 5:30 pm to discuss the following:
• Consideration of a contract to upgrade PLC at Wastewater Treatment Plant
Ms. DePhillip gave a brief overview of the proposal, which involves a request for the
committee to review and provide recommendation to Council on a contract to
upgrade Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) at the wastewater treatment plant.
The Town has identified a cooperative purchasing vehicle through Harford County,
Maryland, which holds an active Open-End Control and Integration Services for
Water and Wastewater Projects contract with Sherwood-Logan and Associates.
Because the total project cost of $144,208.00 exceeds the $100,000 threshold
established in the Town's procurement policy, Town Council approval is required
before the Town may enter a contract with Sherwood-Logan.
To fund the project, Ms. DePhillip outlined a proposal to reallocate funds from
capital projects that will not be executed in 2026. As no new funds are being
appropriated, a budget amendment is not needed from council and the reallocation
of resources can happen administratively. The committ
