Council considers $6,028 Arch Solar change order and hears police commission hiring update
Summary
Council members moved to approve Change Order No. 2 for Arch Solar for $6,028 and questioned a 10% contractor markup; the transcript shows discussion but no recorded vote. The council also received a Police Commission update explaining a candidate withdrew after learning she would not be paid during the academy and the position has been reposted.
The Edgerton City Council considered Change Order No. 2 for Arch Solar — a $6,028 modification for the water-building project — and discussed contractor markup before moving on to committee reports. Speaker 4 introduced the change-order motion and Speaker 3 asked why a 10% allowable markup applied; Speaker 2 responded that general contractors commonly add markups to subcontract work. The provided transcript segment records the motion and the markup discussion but does not include a vote on the change order.
Why it matters: Change orders alter the scope or cost of capital projects and are relevant for project budgets and oversight. Questions about allowable markups reflect council members’ interest in contract pricing and fiscal stewardship.
Police commission hiring update: The council received a report from Speaker 6 that the Police Commission interviewed candidates to fill a vacancy created by Officer Bridal Capellan’s departure. Of seven applicants, several were no-shows or had background concerns; one candidate initially accepted but withdrew after learning she would not be compensated while in the police academy. The commission has reposted the opening.
Next steps: The transcript does not show a recorded council vote on the Arch Solar change order in the provided segments. The Police Commission’s reposting initiates a new recruitment round.
