Bluff council approves payment of bills, includes invoices and funding items
Summary
Councilors approved the town’s accounts payable, covering architect invoices, roof repairs, fire turnout requests and estimated costs for the dark‑sky postcards; vote was unanimous.
At its July 8 special meeting the Bluff Town Council unanimously approved payment of the town’s current bills, including several invoices carried into the just‑closed fiscal year and routine monthly items.
Town staff highlighted notable items in the accounts‑payable packet: an invoice from Uncommon Architects for the end of design‑development work (described in the packet as about $17,400 and falling into fiscal year 2025); a marketing invoice submitted by Bluff Business Owners; and a Lee Contracting invoice for roof repair work, which took place primarily in July and will be charged to the current fiscal year. Staff also reported that Q2 payroll taxes have been filed and various routine monthly payments were included in the packet.
Councilors discussed a request from the Bluff Fire Department for additional turnout gear. Staff said one figure in the packet was $7,200 for additional turnouts on top of an already‑approved invoice and that another quote had been obtained for approximately $7,300.
Staff also noted the estimated initial cost for postcards to notify residents of the dark‑sky designation would be included in the bills; printing and mailing estimates discussed earlier were roughly $230 for 500 prints plus about $100 in postage for Every Door Direct Mail. Councilors approved the bills without recorded opposition.
After the vote staff confirmed there were checks for council signatures and that staff would submit the San Juan County Aging Department Q2 rental invoice as noted in the packet.
