LaSalle — The LaSalle City Council on a single night accepted October and November treasurer reports and approved multiple infrastructure payments and routine bills.
In its financial business the council accepted the treasurer’s October report, which showed cash balances of $9,138,031.12 at LaSalle State Bank and $8,465,663.71 at Hometown National Bank, and the November report showing $8,366,131.79 at LaSalle State Bank and $7,851,651.74 at Hometown National Bank. Both reports were placed on file after council motion.
The council authorized pay request No. 3 (final) to Universal Asphalt and Excavating for $45,356.57 for completed work on the 2025 road improvements (an MFT project), and approved pay request No. 1 to Sewer Tech LLC for $51,214.57 for 2025 sewer cleaning and televising work. During discussion, Brent Brown asked which block had been in poor condition; the contractor said a tough block from Marquette to Gooding took three to four days to clean, while subsequent segments required only a day or two. The contractor raised structural concerns about corrosion to the concrete ceiling and noted a preference to recoat the ceiling if inspection shows it is structurally sound rather than lining the pipe.
Council also approved a payment totaling $312,585.03 for work completed on the 2025 US Route 6 Bridge sanitary sewer failure. A council member noted two invoice items that might be split out as training or adjusted and said staff would follow up with the contractor on potential reductions.
Finally, the council approved bills submitted totaling $1,007,364.47, moving them to be paid and filed. Votes on the financial items were carried by roll call as recorded at the meeting.
The council’s actions keep routine infrastructure repairs and outstanding vendor obligations on track; staff said they will pursue invoice clarifications with contractors and explore grant options for needed recoating work if inspections confirm it is feasible.
