Council approves $1.32 million pay application for emergency services facility over member objection
Summary
The City Council approved Pay Application No. 8 for $1,324,682.46 for the fire/emergency services facilities project after debate; Council Member Ryan opposed the payment citing cost concerns.
The council approved pay application number 8 in the amount of $1,324,682.46 for work completed on the emergency services facilities project. Council Member Michelle moved to approve the pay application; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote 4–1.
Council Member Ryan said he opposed the payment because he believed the city could obtain service from existing contract providers at a lower price and stated the total spend on the project would reach $6,090,469.52, which he characterized as “4.4 times the cost of the contracts.” He presented his opposition as a fiscal concern rather than a question of project scope.
Council discussion did not change the payment motion; the payment was approved and will be processed as part of the ongoing construction contract. No additional contract amendments were adopted at the meeting.
