CDRA approves April minutes and hospital park claims; invoice register includes large restroom expense

The Mount Pleasant Community Development and Renewal Agency approved its April regular-meeting minutes and an invoice register covering April 1–30, 2025 during its May 13 meeting. The board voted unanimously among those present to adopt both items.

The invoice register was read into the record as covering 04/01/2025 to 04/30/2025 and was described during discussion as totaling roughly $278,547.57, with the single largest listed item tied to restroom work at a city park. The motion as recorded on the meeting transcript referenced $278,543.57 when moved for approval; the discrepancy in the two amounts was on the meeting record. The register was noted by board members as tracking the park restroom expense separately.

The motion to approve the April minutes and the motion to approve the invoice register were each moved and seconded from the dais and carried by voice vote among those present. Meeting minutes record that several regular members were excused for illness or work obligations.
