Board approves Blue Ridge Boulevard Phase 3 engineering contract, Getac mobile terminals purchase and dissolution of unused funds
Summary
The Grandview Board of Aldermen passed three ordinances: authorizing engineering services for Blue Ridge Boulevard Phase 3, authorizing payment for Getac mobile terminals and Havis docking stations, and approving dissolution of unused funds; all passed by recorded roll call votes.
The Grandview Board of Aldermen voted to approve three ordinances during the meeting: an engineering-services agreement for Blue Ridge Boulevard Phase 3, a purchase authorization for mobile terminals and docking stations for city use, and an ordinance to dissolve unused city funds.
The board voted unanimously, by recorded roll calls, to: (1) authorize the city to execute an agreement with Walter P. Moore and Associates, Inc., for engineering services related to Blue Ridge Boulevard Phase 3 and to authorize payment (ordinance no. 7575); (2) authorize payment to purchase Getac mobile terminals and Havis docking stations for city use (ordinance no. 7576); and (3) approve the dissolution of certain unused funds that have been closed out and zeroed, as part of routine housekeeping for the city’s chart of accounts (ordinance no. 7577).
Blue Ridge Boulevard Phase 3: The ordinance authorizes execution of an agreement with Walter P. Moore and Associates, Inc., for engineering services and authorizes payment for those services; the transcript states the agreement and payment were authorized but does not specify a contract amount.
Getac mobile terminals and Havis docking stations: The ordinance authorizes payment for Getac mobile terminals and Havis docking stations (vendors and product names appeared in the final reading). The transcript does not list a dollar amount.
Dissolution of unused funds: Finance staff explained this item is a routine cleanup of funds that have been closed out, audited and zeroed, and therefore removed from the chart of accounts. The staff explanation noted these are fund closures and not distributions of unspent dollars; the transcript records that any dollars had already been zeroed out.
