Council tables $13,580 payment to consultant over Mud Lake work; members ask for DNR and consultant briefing
Summary
Fulton County tabled an additional appropriation to pay RQAW about $13,580 for work at Mud Lake and requested a briefing from the consultant and input from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources before authorizing payment.
The council voted unanimously to table an additional appropriation request of roughly $13,580 to pay RQAW for work on the Mud Lake project, citing outstanding questions about the scope and potential further costs.
Council members said the county has already paid the firm about $8,000 and questioned whether additional invoices would follow. One council member requested RQAW attend a future meeting to explain the charges and timeline; several members asked for the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to explain its position because DNR staff had reportedly signaled concerns that could change the scope of required work.
A participant said DNR was considering classifying the site as a dam, which would trigger a different set of engineering requirements and potentially much higher costs. The council agreed to table the appropriation until Seth (a county contact for the drainage board or consultant) and RQAW could appear and DNR’s perspective could be shared.
Pete moved to table the additional appropriation; Chase seconded. Council vote to table was recorded 7-0.
