Lockport council approves $2.99M roadway contract, green-lights wells study; consent agenda passes
Summary
The Lockport City Council approved a $2,992,779 contract for roadway reconstruction and water-main replacement, authorized a citywide wells engineering and alternative water-source study, and passed its consent agenda after removing one item for recusal.
The Lockport City Council on Feb. 4 voted to award a $2,992,779 roadway reconstruction and water-main replacement contract to P.T. Ferrell and approved a citywide wells engineering review and alternative water-source study.
The votes came as part of the council’s routine business and consent agenda. Council moved to remove a consent item (FN2) after Council member Cliff recused himself because a check in the packet was written to the Chamber of Commerce while the council works to replace him as treasurer. The remainder of the consent agenda passed on a roll-call vote.
The wells study (Resolution 26-008) was presented as a precaution to review engineering on all municipal wells and to identify backup or alternative sources; a council member said it is “always wise to make sure we have alternatives” if needed. The roadway and water-main project (Resolution 26-007) was presented as a combined construction and utility-replacement award; the mayor moved and council seconded approval, and the motion passed on roll call.
Votes at a glance: - Consent agenda (with FN2 removed): approved (motion moved and passed by roll call). Cliff recused from FN2. - Approve bills through Jan. 27: approved (one recusal/abstention noted in roll call). - Resolution 26-008 (wells engineering/alternative water source study): approved (roll call). - Resolution 26-007 (roadway reconstruction + water-main replacement to P.T. Ferrell): approved, $2,992,779 (roll call).
What happens next: Award recommendations and appropriations moved forward to be implemented by city staff and included in upcoming project schedules. Items removed from consent will be considered separately. The council confirmed the next regular meeting is scheduled for Feb. 18 at City Hall.
Quotes from the meeting: “The increased range and capabilities of this new Taser 10 are intended to reduce the risk of injury to both officers and subjects,” Lockport police representative Jeff Sanfilippo said while staff reported the department completed certification training.
