I decided to place and sweat the valve above the plywood cover, making
sure
that I applied plenty of solder. I hope it seals ok.... I'm waitng for
the
City to come and turn the water back on.

Your new valve is permanently attached to the pipe, so it
can't interrupt the grounding path. The meter unions could
interrupt the path if loosened (assumes metal meter) and thus
the
meter must have a bonding jumper around it (a permanent jumper,
not just temp jumper cables while you work on it).

So are you saying I can use the booster cables until I can get the
permanent
bonding jumper re-installed?

Yes
