Board approves EDA funds to cover Akeley restroom bid shortfall
Summary
The board voted to provide remaining local EDA funds to cover a bid shortfall for the Akeley restroom project after staff reported utilities and foundation are complete but above-grade work had not started; the motion carried.
Staff updated the board on construction of a public restroom project on Highway 34 in Akeley, reporting the foundation, electrical and plumbing stub work and utilities are in place but above-grade construction had not yet begun.
The project’s bid came in below the previously authorized maximum; staff asked the board to confirm providing the remaining local EDA allocation to close a shortfall the transcript records as "47.04 20." The board moved, seconded and voted to provide the funds from 2025 EDA allocations. Staff noted landscaping and finishing work will occur in spring and that some local landscaping resources remain available.
The board’s action directs staff to proceed with funding from the EDA allocation and to return with final closeout details as the project advances.
