Committee members reviewed recent billing and repair activity for the citys sanitation and bridge infrastructure.

One member observed "we got, 2 charges for a sludge and sewer" and identified Advanced Sanitation as the vendor. The member read or summarized invoice details, noting one invoice dated "08/2025" and referring to figures given in the meeting transcript; the speaker asked whether those were the last charges the city would receive.

Members also discussed costs tied to installation of a replacement pipe and sleeves and described two weeks of on-site work on a bridge. One speaker said payment for installation work would come from "it's either coming from JD or Missouri," and the committee noted that the city had already paid for the new pipe but still owed installation and related work.

Speakers said traffic control was hired and set up properly during the work. Several members described long permit-processing delays: the permit submissions circulated between the local bridge office, Springfield and Ottawa, with repeated referrals and returns before the local bridge office would act. One member said they had to call repeatedly and threatened legislative escalation if the permitting backlog was not addressed.

No formal motion or vote on payments, contract awards or permit appeals was recorded during this portion of the meeting. The committee did not specify funding sources or identify a formal payor beyond the remarks quoted on the record.
