Commission approves claims with exclusion of one legal invoice; staff to reallocate if needed
Summary
Commission approved the claims docket March 20 after a discussion about a Barnes & Thornburg legal invoice tied to IDEM oversight that a commissioner said should not be charged to the commission; the commission approved claims while excluding that legal payment pending reallocation.
The Redevelopment Commission on March 20 approved the claims presented by staff after removing a legal-services charge the commission was not responsible for.
Jeff Wright presented the claims and noted he had answered an email from a commissioner about a Remax charge. A commissioner raised a question about a Barnes & Thornburg invoice (invoice 34991) described as legal services reviewing IDEM oversight and said the work related to Indiana Stamping or a separate entity and not to MRC property. The commissioner moved that the claim be recognized as payable outside the commission's claims approval and not subject to approval in this set of claims; staff said they would investigate reallocation of the charge.
After discussion the commission voted to approve the claims as presented with the exception identified by the commissioner; staff said they will determine whether the invoice should be applied elsewhere and will report back. The commission did not change the remainder of the claims docket at the meeting.
