The Lawrence Stormwater Advisory Board approved an amendment to its project grant administration contract with Klimeketer Consulting Group, adding $2,000 to the agreement to cover extra work tied to a grant extension. The board also voted to table approval of past meeting minutes until all members, including one not yet present, can participate.
What the board approved: At a special meeting, the board voted to accept Amendment 2024-01 to the project grant administration contract with Klimeketer Consulting Group, authorizing a $2,000 increase in the purchase order. Board discussion indicated the additional hours result from work required to secure and document a grant extension; staff explained consultants have spent more time than anticipated because of the extension request.
Funding and closeout: Board members discussed whether the additional cost could be recovered from the contractor (referred to in the meeting as Midwest) during the project closeout. Staff said that reimbursement is uncertain and will be determined as part of the closeout process; the board asked that the possibility of recovering costs be included in closeout discussions.
Votes at a glance: The amendment passed by voice vote with all members present voting in favor (tallied in the meeting as two ayes; no opposition). The board later voted to table approval of two sets of minutes until the absent member could participate; that motion also passed unanimously.
Public comment and procedure: No members of the public made comments on the amendment during the meeting. A board member moved to take public comments before voting on new business; the board adjusted the agenda to allow comment opportunities before votes but no public comments were offered for this item.
Administrative note: The board’s meeting record will reflect the amendment approval and the tabling of prior minutes; staff will include the cost-recovery question in the Brookside Park closeout conversation and return with updates.
