Council approves claims 19928–19946 after brief questions about specific charges
Summary
The council approved the claims list covering numbers 19928 through 19946; councilors asked about two items including a $3,004.44 sludge pump repair kit and an airport tire repair claim.
The Stevensville Town Council approved claims numbered 19928 through 19946 after brief questions from council members about particular line items.
Council Member Smith moved to consider the claims; the motion received a second. Councilors asked about claim number 19936 (listed as a sludge pump repair kit purchased on Aug. 5 for $3,004.44) and whether the town had obtained the two required quotes under purchasing policy. Staff replied they had not obtained two written quotes for that purchase. Councilors also questioned claim number 19941, described as a tire repair for the airport; staff said two claim entries were associated with that repair, one of which represented an additional charge later credited and that the net price was lower than the higher initial charge.
At roll call, the council recorded Council Member Brown voting no and Council Members Smith, Brad and Barker voting yes; the motion passed 3-to-1.
Ending: Staff was asked to follow up on purchasing-policy compliance for specific items and to clarify credits or corrected invoices where applicable.
