Tonawanda City Council adopts six resolutions; approves $8,932 change order for police entrance repair
Summary
At a regular Tonawanda City Council meeting, members unanimously adopted six resolutions, including a change order of up to $8,932 to Alligator Construction Corp. for repair work on the police department side entrance. All six resolutions were approved by roll call with no recorded dissent.
Tonawanda City Council members unanimously adopted six resolutions during a regularly scheduled council meeting, including awarding a change order not to exceed $8,932 for a police department side-entrance repair project.
The council voted on resolutions 1 through 6 in sequence. Resolution 3, described in the meeting record as "award of change order number 2 to the police department side entrance repair project" to Alligator Construction Corporation, carried as read; the clerk recorded the cost at "not to exceed $8,932." Roll calls for each resolution showed all council members present voting "Aye." No "No" votes or abstentions were recorded on the resolutions as read in the meeting transcript.
Why it matters: The change order is a formal amendment to an ongoing capital construction contract for a municipal facility; such awards alter project cost and contractor scope and are recorded in the city’s capital and contract tracking. The set of routine resolutions also reflects the council’s regular business of approving administrative actions and property transactions.
What the council approved
- Resolution 1 (mover: Council member Sheasley; second: announced): Adopted by roll call; details not specified in the meeting record. - Resolution 2 (mover: Council member Milam; second: announced): Adopted by roll call; details not specified in the meeting record. - Resolution 3 (mover: by the council as read; second: by the council): Awarded change order No. 2 for the police department side entrance repair project to Alligator Construction Corporation at a cost not to exceed $8,932; adopted by roll call. - Resolution 4 (motion to waive readings of resolutions 4–6 approved; mover: Council member Raumstraub; second: Council member Sheasley): Resolution 4 adopted by roll call; text not read aloud in full in the transcript. - Resolution 5 (mover: Council member Milam; second: announced): Adopted by roll call; text not specified in the transcript. - Resolution 6 (mover: Council member Raumstraub; second: Council member Milam): Adopted by roll call; text not specified in the transcript.
Vote details: The roll-call sequence as recorded in the transcript shows the following council members voting "Aye" on the resolutions when called: Sheasley; Fisher; (Raum)straub/Rouncero (named variously in the transcript); Milam; Cook; and Cheesley. The clerk declared each resolution adopted after the roll call.
Context and next steps: Resolution 3’s change order was read by the clerk at the council’s request and certified as recommended by the city engineer, with the not-to-exceed price stated on the record. The transcript does not record additional discussion or dissent on the change order or provide further breakdown of the project scope beyond the clerk’s reading. The other resolutions were routine and either read or waived for reading and then adopted by roll call.
Records and follow-up: The clerk conducted roll calls and declared each resolution adopted. The transcript shows the clerk reading Resolution 3’s award language and the roll-call confirmations for all six resolutions. The council moved into public comment and then executive session later in the meeting; no further public challenge to the resolutions appears in the portion of the record provided.
Ending: The council’s unanimous votes conclude this set of agenda items; implementation of the change order and any contract paperwork will follow standard city procurement and contracting procedures as recorded by the clerk and supporting departments.
