Board approves $19,000 increase to emergency repairs contract at Mount Vernon police station
Summary
An amendment to the emergency repair agreement with Weather Tight Systems for the police station increased the contract by $19,000; funding will come from the department’s operating line and may require a budget transfer from capital to operating.
The board on July 15 approved an amendment to the existing agreement with Weather Tight Systems for emergency repairs at the Mount Vernon police station, increasing the contract by $19,000, according to staff remarks at the meeting. Board members questioned whether the increase represented a material change; staff responded that the contract increased by $19,000 and that funds would come from the department’s operating line (account 414). The board was told the original funding had used ARP and bond proceeds and that the department would pay the $19,000 difference from operating funds. A board member cautioned the total contract is substantial (about $1.8 million was cited on the record) and suggested staff may need to arrange a transfer from capital to operating lines. The ordinance amendment was moved, seconded and approved by roll call. The transcript shows the board approved the amendment but indicates staff should consult the comptroller or finance (George) about whether a formal transfer is needed to reconcile capital and operating accounts.
