The Lawrence City Stormwater Board approved payment of $2,350.01 to Resolution Group at its June 2025 special meeting, while staff said a larger contingency requested earlier likely will not be needed.

City staff told the board that an invoice was $2,350.01 short and that staff had asked the board to authorize up to $12,350.01 to cover that shortfall and a potential redesign cost. “I’d like to ask for approval for the full $12,350.01, but I’m telling you we’re not gonna use all that,” the staff member said, adding that staff expects at least one more invoice for a similar amount.

The board approved the immediate $2,350.01 payment so the invoice can be paid; staff said it will return if additional funds are required. A motion to pay the $2,350.01 was made and seconded; the board voted to approve the payment.

The staff member said the anticipated additional invoice is expected to be closer to $2,350 rather than the larger $10,000 supplement originally discussed, but the final amount was “not known until I receive it,” the staff member said.
