Durant approves engineering contract with Therum LLC for new animal shelter; 3-1 vote
Summary
The council approved a professional services agreement with Therum LLC for engineering services on a new Durant animal shelter; the contract passed on a 3-1 roll-call vote with Vice Mayor Mike Similescu recorded as the lone "No."
The Durant City Council voted to approve a professional services agreement with Therum LLC for engineering services on a new Durant animal shelter. The contract approval followed a brief discussion of the contract form and contents.
Mayor Martin Tucker said the agreement was drafted on an American Institute of Architects (AIA) form and reflected previously discussed items such as capacity for animals, size, and location. A council member asked whether the city attorney had reviewed the contract; the response on the record was that the attorney had not yet reviewed it. The council then moved to approve the professional services agreement with Therum LLC; the clerk recorded "Yes" votes from Council member Miller, Council member Fuller and Mayor Martin Tucker and a "No" vote from Vice Mayor Mike Similescu, resulting in a 3-1 vote in favor of the contract.
No amendments to the contract were recorded in the meeting discussion. The motion carried and no further directions or timelines were specified on the record. The council adjourned the special meeting after the vote.
