Cindy (staff member) presented the amendment. She said the amendment records an insurance reimbursement of $4,000 for a wrecked vehicle and recognizes a $25,000 donation for the Burr Park roof extension. Staff described transfers from commercial insurance and software/IT savings into the CIP to fund capital items the council approved at the April 7 work session. Cindy summarized: “We are increasing revenues $4,000, increasing expenditures to $202,400, and the net impact of that $198,400 is the utilization of prior‑year capital fund balance.” She added the CIP purchases approved were $2,629,000, there was a reallocation of $97,411, and the amendment will use $1,986,590 of the prior year capital fund balance.

Council moved and approved the amendment by voice vote; the meeting transcript records the motion, a second and a voice vote of \"Aye\" but does not provide a roll‑call tally.

Why it matters: the amendment reallocates internal savings and a small insurance reimbursement to fund capital purchases already recommended in the city’s CIP, and formalizes a donor contribution toward Burr Park improvements.

The amendment was discussed at the finance committee meeting prior to the council action, per staff comments. No public comment was recorded on the budget amendment during the meeting.","At the April 21 meeting Dalton Mayor and Council approved FY2025 Budget Amendment No. 2 to move funds into the capital improvement program (CIP), record a $4,000 insurance reimbursement and apply a $25,000 donation for Burr Park roof work; staff said the amendment will use roughly $1,986,590 of prior‑year capital fund balance.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6264041,"Dalton council approves GDOT extension, manufacturer change and inspection order for airport hangar project",111,1098000,1209000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3099444-ba91e37aeaff80c4bf107965c9d98cf8&start=1098&end=1209","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3099444-ba91e37aeaff80c4bf107965c9d98cf8/thumbnail_1098000.jpg","/articles/6264041/Dalton-City/Whitfield-County/Georgia/Dalton-council-approves-GDOT-extension-manufacturer-change-and-inspection-order-for-airport-hangar-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6264041-568e45b304a6f8306110ebfdb152cff6/orig.mp4?Expires=1776167495&Signature=ffA~VvVOCZ1Na~UHGpGHJ3Tm~cLt~vqZRw4BY90eG6luuaJKWaSeHnJWMrHvry-f~8Fss4EhILItPVj9O16-Hly7Zg4pX2rfp758SkaBNtr7x60At0SB9yukrH8POP~aY~4xJSqUZnICZ6MdtBctucPMt05aGIYmrqI7XiXX5SdlTH4caGr9t5DO7-H3E8gMis01kLBBe1eQ2cArzAxoUMolWq3ttuPj9HzUPT2SzHxy-ux2o9712rQExnaD3XSyBGlnKm1G9inoeQ0ptd1CmWR8p1YCSo3venasP7RpUQ8xz0Ln5tXbm-drZATVLVK7O3vrJyS49iihWy-kDkzO2A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Dalton Mayor and Council on April 21 approved a 12‑month extension to the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) funding contract for the city’s airport hangar development project, a manufacturer change order that reduces costs and lead time, and a task order for inspections required during construction.

The extension was presented by Andrew (staff member), who said the city “entered into a funding contract for our hangar development program in June of 2023. That contract will expire June of this year. So GDOT is offering us a 12‑month extension on that funding contract to cover the construction, which is about to begin on that project.” The council approved the extension by motion; a roll‑call tally was not specified on the meeting record.

The council also approved Integrated Builds change order No. 1 on the same project. According to the staff presentation, the change in the T‑hangar manufacturer will save the city $105,235.15 and shorten material lead time by about six months. Council members voted to approve the change order; the meeting record lists the motion and a second but does not include individual vote tallies.

The council approved Croix Engineering task order No. 12 for MPDES seven‑day inspection services at a cost of $1,991.33. Staff said that amount was already included in the hangar budget and that savings from the change order would cover potential future change orders up to $105,000. The motion to approve the inspection task order passed without an individually recorded tally.

Why it matters: the GDOT extension and manufacturer change clear key contractual and scheduling hurdles ahead of construction and reduce near‑term cost risk, while the task order secures required inspection services during work.

The city’s funding contract originally began in June 2023; the extension preserves GDOT funding while the city proceeds to construction. Council members did not debate the merits at length during the meeting and there were no public comments on the item.

Items related to this project were presented consecutively and approved during the April 21 meeting. The items approved were limited to the contract extension, the Integrated Builds change order, and the Croix Engineering inspection task order.","On April 21 Dalton Mayor and Council approved a 12‑month extension to the GDOT hangar funding contract, a manufacturer change order that saves about $105,235 and a $1,991.33 task order for seven‑day inspection services, enabling imminent construction on the airport hangar development project.","actionData","errors"]
