Votes at a glance: Huron commission approves payments, change order, USGS agreement and consent items
Summary
The commission approved routine business including a $114,795.48 pay request for Jersey Avenue drainage, a no-net-cost change order for the solid-waste transfer station, renewal of a USGS stream‑gauging agreement, and the consent agenda; all votes were unanimous.
At its meeting the Huron City Commission approved a set of routine motions and formal actions, each by unanimous roll call unless otherwise noted:
- Agenda approval: Commissioners approved the meeting agenda with the addition of an update from Finance and Revenue Commissioner Rich Bragg.
- Consent agenda: Includes minutes (11/24/2025), personnel actions (Cody Campbell to full-time water/sewer maintenance; part‑time volunteer firefighters Brian Reff, Lane Cooper, Tucker Light), fuel quotes and bill payments; motion approved unanimously.
- Pay Request No. 2 (Vanderpoel Dragline Inc.) — Jersey Avenue drainage improvements: $114,795.48. City engineer Brett Runge said the project is roughly 93% complete; one small segment awaits railroad right-of-entry approval. Commission approved the payment unanimously.
- Change Order No. 3 (Century LLC) — Solid Waste Transfer Station (Bid 2023‑21): $8,683.51 to replace a storm‑water manhole lid and address a pump installation issue. Burns & McDonnell will cover materials costs tied to a design flaw, and the contractor covered installation costs; staff described the net cost to the city as effectively zero. Commission approved the change order unanimously.
- Joint funding agreement renewal — U.S. Geological Survey (Redfield gauging station): The city’s share increased by roughly 2.5% (about $40/year) and is split with USGS; staff recommended renewal and the commission approved it unanimously.
Other significant votes earlier in the meeting included adoption of Rate Resolution 2025‑09 (fee and ordinance updates) and acceptance of the Banner Associates water and sewer rate study (Option 2); both measures passed on unanimous roll call votes.
