Saint Joseph council approves pump‑track agreement, staff says contract is $277,000
Summary
Council approved an amended ordinance to attach an agreement with American Ramp Company for a pump‑track at Houston Wyeth Park; the ordinance text showed a budget amendment of $347,395 and staff said the agreement amount is $277,000, with remaining funds to pay for ADA access and shade structures.
The Saint Joseph City Council approved an amendment to the transient guest tax program budget and attached a design‑build agreement with American Ramp Company for a bike pump track at Houston Wyeth Park.
Clerk read an ordinance amending the General Fund transient guest tax program budget in the amount of $347,395 and authorizing an agreement with American Ramp Company. Council considered a proposed substitute ordinance after staff acknowledged the original caption omitted the contract amount and the agreement was not attached when first read. In discussion staff stated the design‑build agreement amount is $277,000 and said remaining budgeted funds would be used for ADA access, shade structures and other amenities for the pump track.
Council member Grama moved to substitute the new ordinance and attach the agreement; Council member Randolph seconded. The clerk called the roll and the motion carried; the amended bill passed on a roll call vote with nine ayes.
The transcript records that the caption originally did not list the contract amount and that the agreement was attached during the substitution; it does not record the date for contract execution. The ordinance authorizes a budget amendment and the execution of the agreement; final design and installation details and timing were not specified in the reading.
