Council presses for itemized invoices as riverfront project billing rises to $75K–$96K
Summary
Council members debated paying prior invoices from LCD for the riverfront development engineering work; members sought itemized bills and an interlocal before approving payment beyond $75,000.
Lawrenceburg council members debated whether to pay engineering bills tied to the riverfront development project after staff and a representative from the local development corporation reported invoices ranging from $75,000 to $96,730.25.
Councilors expressed frustration about continued consultant work and associated bills after the council had paused funding. Several council members said they would be willing to pay a previously billed $75,000 to clear it from the books but wanted an itemized invoice and explanation for the increase to $96,730.25 before approving additional payment. Council directed staff to request an itemized invoice from LCD (documented in an email sent earlier that day) and to include any claim in the next council packet for formal consideration.
Speakers stressed there was no current contract authorizing additional work beyond previously billed items and noted an interlocal agreement still needed to be signed. LCD-affiliated board members in the audience told the council itemized invoices exist and could be supplied. Council did not vote to pay the larger sum at the meeting; instead, members agreed to seek documentation and to place an itemized claim in the next packet so the council could vote after review.
