Council tables facilities reappropriation amid confusion over final courthouse-window invoices
Summary
A facilities reappropriation to move funds to the courthouse windows line was tabled after commissioners questioned whether the invoice cited as "final" had been paid and whether the job was complete.
Council members tabled a facilities reappropriation request to move capital project funds into the courthouse windows line after questions arose about whether the invoice presented was a final invoice and whether the window project was complete.
Facilities staff (referenced in meeting as Erika and Laurie) had submitted what they described as a final invoice for the courthouse window project; some council members said they still see boarded-up windows and HVAC that had not been reconnected. Council members asked whether the work was complete before approving payment of a final invoice. One member said that if the job is not finished, the final invoice should not be paid.
There was confusion during the discussion about whether the window project was under budget by $44,000 or whether additional funds were being requested; staff said the item was a transfer between lines rather than an additional appropriation. Because council members could not confirm the status and invoices, they agreed to table the facilities reappropriation until the next meeting so staff could confirm outstanding invoices, project completion status, and the payment records with the project manager.
