Meeting participants approve bills, treasurer's report and a 61-day time extension for Hausfield water project
Summary
Participants approved payment of reported bills, accepted the treasurer's report and approved a 61-day time extension for the Hausfield Water Extension contract because a water tank has not yet been filled; another related extension request was discussed but not resolved in the provided transcript.
Meeting participants voted to pay reported invoices, accepted the treasurer's report and approved a 61-day time extension for a water-line contract after staff said the project was waiting on a water tank to be filled.
The treasurer reported accounts payable of $145,871.86, 911-account disbursements totaling $4,378.55 and an LEPC account check for $141.83; a motion to pay those bills passed by voice vote after a call for the ayes and no recorded opposition. The treasurer also reported a general-account starting balance of $788,080.00 and an ending balance of $1,179,336.67 for the reporting period ending June 3, 2025; the report was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote.
A staff member described payment application No. 7 for SED Construction as “100% county funded,” and said the remaining balance to finish the contract was $62,927.30 and that the associated water tank was expected to be filled in one to two weeks. A motion was made to pay the application and was put to a voice vote in the meeting segment.
Separately, the body considered change order No. 4 for SC Construction on the Hausfield Water Extension project. Staff said the contractor requested a 61-day time extension to move the contract end date from May 30, 2025, to July 30, 2025, because the water tank would not be filled in time and the tank must be filled before testing of the lines. The participants approved change order No. 4 by voice vote; staff indicated the change order requested time only and did not add funds to the contract.
The meeting then moved to change order No. 5, described by staff as a similar request to extend the contract from May 30, 2025, to July 30, 2025, for Standard Directional (also to allow the tank to be filled before testing). Discussion of change order No. 5 appears in the transcript but a final vote or outcome is not recorded in the provided excerpt.
Other brief agenda business in the provided excerpt included announcements about meetings and financing discussions; public ceremonial items (prayer, Pledge of Allegiance) and non-substantive remarks also appear in the transcript but are not reported here.
