Council signals possible special meeting to approve Main Street arch design and contract
Summary
Boone officials said they may call a special meeting to approve an agreement and design for a Main Street arch so construction can proceed before concrete price increases on Oct. 15.
Council members and staff discussed an expedited approval process for a proposed Main Street arch and said they may call a special meeting to approve the design and an agreement with the Main Street organization.
The presiding official said city staff, the Main Street director (Holly Stecker), Main Street president Tom Blandford, Administrator Andrea and City Attorney Rafe have been finalizing an agreement and the arch design. Because the cost of concrete is expected to rise Oct. 15, the parties may need a special meeting so construction can proceed without delay.
No formal vote was taken. The presiding official said the city would attempt to provide as much advance notice as possible if a special meeting is needed.
Context: The record states a general contractor (Greybaugh, named in the meeting) is lined up and parties want to move expeditiously to avoid price increases. The meeting did not include contract terms, a procurement vote, or a schedule; staff indicated the council would consider the agreement once the Main Street organization finalizes internal approvals.
