River Heights council approves payment of bills including Logan City fire protection; Horrocks transportation bill discussed
Summary
Council reviewed bills and purchase orders Jan. 7 and approved payment of invoices including an annual Logan City fire protection invoice of roughly $144,000 and a Horrocks/CRS invoice for the transportation master plan. Council discussed but did not withhold Horrocks' invoice.
River Heights City Council voted Jan. 7 to approve payment of the city’s current invoices, including a large annual invoice from Logan City for fire protection and a bill from Horrocks for work on the transportation master plan.
Michelle Jensen, River Heights treasurer, said the Logan City invoice is a significant annual payment and that the amount this year was close to $144,000 compared with about $142,000 the prior year. Jensen said the invoice represents customary annual charges for fire protection; council members discussed when the contract is renegotiated and whether the city will seek clarification from Logan City staff.
Council members also discussed a bill from Horrocks (the firm that has taken over work previously handled by CRS after a corporate change). The Horrocks invoice relates to the city’s transportation master plan work, which is funded in part by a UDOT grant. Council members noted the city had hired the consultant via request for proposals and that the project has been ongoing; after discussion a council member moved to pay the bills (including Horrocks), the motion was seconded, and the council voted to approve payment.
Minutes and purchase orders will be filed with the city’s records; Michelle Jensen said the Horrocks billing will be monitored and the council may revisit contract terms at a future date.
