Huron City Commission approves payments, contracts and property covenant release
Summary
At its March meeting, the Huron City Commission approved a sewer payment, awarded an asphalt crack-sealing contract, authorized negotiated hay-land leases and released a restrictive covenant on a residential parcel, all by roll-call votes.
The Huron City Commission voted unanimously on a series of routine items at its March meeting, approving a progress payment for a sewer main lining project, awarding an asphalt crack-sealing contract to the low bidder, authorizing negotiated leases of hay land to prior renters and releasing a restrictive covenant on a residential parcel.
The votes were taken by roll call and the motions passed with all members present voting aye: Commissioner Smith, Drew Weinreis, Craig (last name not specified on the record) and Mayor Robich.
The commission approved payment request No. 10 for bid No. 20204-8 (sewer main lining) to HKS Solutions Group in the amount of $39,466.30. Assistant Engineer Dennis Bennett described the item as a progress payment on the sewer main lining project and recommended approval.
The commission awarded bid No. 2025-8 for asphalt crack sealing to Lot Pros Inc. at $60,874.10. Staff noted the city had budgeted $68,164 for the project and recommended awarding to the lowest responsive bidder. Commissioners asked whether the city had used Lot Pros before; Bennett said the firm had been used for several years and prior issues had been resolved.
The commission authorized negotiated leases of certain hay-land parcels to previous renters after those parcels received no competitive bids. Staff told commissioners the parcels had been advertised in accordance with bid laws and that interested residents had been shown how to submit bids. No bid amounts for the awarded parcels were reported on the record; one interested party referenced a specific parcel (parcel 8) and made a price comment that was not recorded in a clear, final amount.
The commission also approved a request from Kelsey Meese to release a restrictive covenant that tied two parcels at 1270 South Frontier Drive. City staff said the covenant had originally been filed in 2009 and that the release would allow Meese to sell one parcel to family; the record includes a condition that if the sale does not go through the covenant would be reinstalled.
