The Fenton Board of Aldermen approved the month’s warrants totaling $854,661.31 and accepted related committee recommendations. Alderman Crutz reported the total and noted that a large portion — about $479,000 — was for street repairs by Pace and RV Wagner. He also flagged a roughly $18,000 Dectron repair related to pool heating.

During discussion, board members questioned payments and sought clarification on a line item identified as a payment to the "city of Washington finance service" for Tammy Services; staff clarified the purpose. A motion to accept the warrants as written was made and seconded; the board approved the warrants.

Separately under Parks & Recreation business, the board considered approval of quotes for repairs to the Riverchase YMCA pools. YMCA representatives (Tom, district vice president; Anne, executive director) explained the vendor submitted itemized invoices that, individually, fell under a $5,000 contract threshold but collectively were larger because multiple components were damaged in a single incident (for example, multiple pumps damaged during a power outage). The YMCA outlined three invoice "buckets": water-leak repairs (typically >$5,000), power‑outage‑related pump/motor replacements (itemized invoices that together can exceed thresholds), and age‑related component failures. The YMCA representative said the organization intends to "be a good partner" and "is 100% gonna honor our obligations" under current contract terms while asking the city to consider clearer capital/reserve-account presentation in future contracts.

YMCA staff also reported an effort to file claims through Ameren Missouri for outage damage but said the likelihood of recovery is low. City staff and the YMCA said they will confer on whether grouped invoices from a single cause should be presented as a single capital claim in future budgets and contracts.

The board approved the pool repair motion after discussion and recorded the motion as carried.

Next steps: City staff and the YMCA plan follow-up discussions on contract language and how capital reserves or aggregated invoicing should be presented in future fiscal years.
