Council ratifies BMK right‑of‑way services agreement for Villa Rica Parkway
Summary
The Villa Rica City Council unanimously ratified a previously signed right‑of‑way services agreement with BMK for Villa Rica Parkway after staff said invoices arrived for services tied to a broader agreement that a former city manager had signed.
The Villa Rica City Council unanimously ratified a right‑of‑way services agreement with BMK (BM and K) for pre‑acquisition work on Villa Rica Parkway after staff explained that the full agreement had been signed by a former city manager and invoices had since arrived.
Finance staff member Miss Hallman told council the agenda had listed only pre‑acquisition costs of $36,600 when the agreement was first presented last year, but staff later learned the signed contract encompassed additional services — appraisal review, acquisition fees and right‑of‑way certification — and BMK began invoicing the city for those services.
Nut graf: To clear the administrative record and authorize payment for work already performed or underway, the council voted to ratify the agreement. Council asked clarifying questions about the scope and the location; the staff said the services were for Villa Rica Parkway.
Council approved a motion to ratify the BMK right‑of‑way services agreement; the motion passed unanimously.
