The Portage City Board of Works approved accounts payable totaling $1,836,652.78 on a unanimous voice vote.
During the claims discussion a board member asked whether the city was waiting on grant money related to temporary loans used to acquire garbage trucks. Sanitation staff (Randy) replied that once the city pays in full, the grant process for Drive Clean Indiana will process reimbursement and the city receives roughly 80% back within about 30 days, per staff comments at the meeting.
The board approved the accounts payable as presented and moved to adjourn. The meeting record does not include additional details such as a breakdown of the claims or the timing of specific reimbursements beyond the staff comment about the 80 percent reimbursement timeline.
