Fillmore City Council approves completion of Boys and Girls Club ceiling and door upgrades

The Fillmore City Council convened on April 8, 2025, to address several key agenda items, primarily focusing on public improvement projects and their completion statuses.

The meeting commenced with a discussion regarding the release of performance bonds related to private improvements that have been accepted by the Homeowners Associations (HOAs). City officials confirmed that all necessary improvements had been inspected and deemed complete, with the exception of the installation of monument wells in private streets. The council voted unanimously to exonerate the public improvement bonds, allowing for the posting of monument bonds instead.

Next, the council reviewed the completion of the ceiling repair project at the Fillmore Boys and Girls Club, executed by Wyatt Trapp Inc. The project, which began in February, was completed ahead of schedule, utilizing a durable material specifically designed for gymnasiums. The total cost of the project was reported at $24,579.19, exceeding the original contract due to the decision to upgrade the materials used. The council approved the filing of a notice of completion and authorized final payment to the contractor after a 30-day lien period.

Following this, the council addressed the door replacement and stair upgrade project at the Boys and Girls Club, also managed by Wyatt Trapp Inc. This project involved replacing deteriorated double doors and enhancing stair safety to meet ADA compliance. Although the project faced minor delays due to miscommunication regarding the door locking mechanism, it was reported that the final inspection would occur shortly. The total cost remained within the city manager's discretion, amounting to $39,354.45. The council agreed to file the notice of completion and authorize final payment pending successful inspection.

In conclusion, the Fillmore City Council's meeting highlighted significant progress in community infrastructure projects, reinforcing the city’s commitment to enhancing recreational facilities. The council's decisions reflect a proactive approach to maintaining and improving public spaces for residents.
