Board hears October finance report, approves sidewalk maintenance invoice and notes holiday lighting repairs
Summary
The board reviewed October finances (October expenditures $9,108), approved payment to Mobile Properties for sidewalk upkeep ($500/week for four weeks, $2,000 total) and heard updates on Christmas lights and a storm-tree project; no large budget changes were reported.
John presented the finance report and told the Board of Works that October’s expenditures totaled $9,108, which he said reflected timing of voucher processing combining September and October charges.
In maintenance updates, Jamie told the board an e-vote had approved repairs to holiday lighting receptacles on about 14 poles and that the bill did not exceed the previously authorized $3,500. She also said the storm-tree project at Zeldin’s northeast corner of Michigan had been awarded at the last Board of Works meeting and staff are attempting to complete it before year-end.
John moved to pay Mobile Properties for sidewalk maintenance — four weeks at $500 per week, $2,000 total — a motion that was seconded and carried with an aye recorded. The invoice payment was the only bill presented for payment at this meeting.
The board discussed potential December electrical costs but John said he did not expect year-end spending to exceed projections. No additional budget transfers or encumbrances were authorized at the meeting.
