Redevelopment Commission approves accounts payable voucher; discusses elevator repairs at city building
Summary
The Evansville Redevelopment Commission approved its accounts payable voucher on March 18, including payment tied to elevator repairs at a city-owned building. Staff said the purchase order for the two main-lobby passenger elevators is about 92% complete and the amendment covers mechanical repairs; cosmetic interior finishes remain unfunded.
The Evansville Redevelopment Commission voted to approve the accounts payable voucher on March 18, a package of payments that included substantial charges for elevator renovation and repair at a city-owned building.
Commissioners discussed whether the invoice covered the second of two main-lobby passenger elevators and whether finishing or cosmetic work had been authorized. Staff said funds had been encumbered for both elevators and that the current payment represented mechanical repairs on the second elevator; cosmetic interior work had not been authorized and remains unpaid. A staff speaker told commissioners the purchase order is about 92% complete.
Commissioners noted the building has numerous deferred maintenance needs and that the commission lacks unlimited funds for all renovations. One commissioner asked whether the current payment would be the final invoice for the elevator work; staff said the vendor is about 92% through the purchase order and that the item was close to completion. The group also briefly noted other building repairs and that staff are developing a plan to address broader renovation needs.
The motion to approve the accounts payable voucher passed on a roll call vote. Commissioners recorded as voting aye included Commissioner Altman, Commissioner Waltham, Commissioner Flessner and Commissioner Morley.
