The Board approved multiple accounts-payable and payroll vouchers totaling more than $1.5 million in separate categories and awarded a 10-year preventative-maintenance contract for three water towers to Leary Construction Company with specified annual fees.

The Columbia City Board of Works and Safety approved several payment vouchers and a water-tank maintenance contract during its March 25 meeting.

The board approved accounts-payable vouchers in the meeting that included: general accounts payable in the amount of $409,189.24; an ELT voucher for $877,021.29; a meter-deposit voucher for $2,030.14; and a payroll voucher for March 12 in the amount of $300,038.19 plus overtime of $5,451.13. Each motion was made, seconded and recorded as unanimous of those present.

On departmental contracts, the board approved a preventive-maintenance agreement with Leary Construction Company for three water tanks on a per-year basis. The annual fees recorded in the motion were $31,362 for the 600 East tank, $23,860 for the North (Reddick Avenue) tank and $22,346 for the South (View Drive) tank. Staff said the contract covers routine interior and exterior inspections and touch-ups, and that the contractor will perform repairs if vandalism or damage (for example, a past bullet hole) requires it. The board recorded the contract as a per-year maintenance arrangement and approved it unanimously.

All financial motions were seconded and passed with the notation in the minutes that votes were unanimous of those present. The board asked departments to follow up with routine documentation for contract work and to schedule inspections under the new maintenance scope.
