Council approves settlement with KSA Engineers and a lease release for 418 N. Madison
Loading...
Summary
Council approved a settlement in which KSA Engineers will replace two raw-water transfer pumps and seek to transfer manufacturer warranties, and separately approved a negotiated release of the city's five-year lease at 418 North Madison that saves an estimated $60,000 over the remaining term.
In post-executive-session action, the council approved two administrative settlements affecting city infrastructure and lease obligations.
Settlement with KSA Engineers: Staff reported the parties reached an agreement under which KSA will provide and install two replacement raw-water transfer pumps and motors for the Bob Sandlin Water Treatment Plant, and will provide warranty coverage for the electrical workmanship and attempt to transfer a 12-month manufacturer's warranty for the equipment. In exchange, the city will release claims related to those pumps; the council moved and voted unanimously to approve the settlement.
Lease settlement for 418 North Madison: Staff described a negotiated settlement to terminate the city's five-year lease at 418 North Madison (the building known as Katie's Corner). Continuing the lease through 2027 would have cost about $102,000; the negotiated settlement reduces that obligation and is expected to save approximately $60,000. The council approved the settlement and release of the lease obligation by unanimous vote.
Both actions were recorded as council approvals in open session after executive discussion.
