Blufftown Council approves $50,000 transfer, pays bills including $41,883.75 to playground contractor
Summary
The Blufftown Council unanimously approved paying the town's bills Oct. 28, including a requested $50,000 transfer from PTRF to general checking to cover an initial $41,883.75 payment to Garrett Parks and Play for playground work. The council reviewed other invoices, cemetery survey retainer and public-notice costs.
The Blufftown Council on Oct. 28 approved payment of accounts payable and a requested $50,000 transfer from the PTRF savings account to general checking to cover an initial contractor payment for a playground project.
Council members said the $50,000 transfer is intended to cover a $41,883.75 first payment to Garrett Parks and Play; grant funding tied to the playground project will reimburse the town at the end of the project. The council packet also included a cemetery survey retainer, September legal fees, maintenance costs at the community center and $653.80 in recent public-notice expenses.
A motion to pay the bills was moved and seconded, and the council voted unanimously to approve the payments and the transfer. Council members noted that reimbursement from the grant will occur later in the project timeline and that the transfer is an interim measure to fund the contractor's initial invoice.
Council members also reminded residents of a county property-tax notice about weed/goat-head removal, noting that state law allows the county to take enforcement action and charge property owners if required work is not completed. The council encouraged residents to report problems and said staff would follow up on equipment availability for weed removal.
