Redevelopment commission approves reimbursement agreement for engineering on 100 South Reconstruction
Summary
Commission voted to approve a reimbursement agreement to reimburse the county for engineering of the 100 South Reconstruction project (contract up to $111,000, roughly $106,000 for engineering and $5,000 for oversight). Commissioners also approved claims and prior meeting minutes in separate voice votes.
At its meeting, the Whitley County Redevelopment Commission approved a reimbursement agreement to cover engineering costs for the 100 South Reconstruction project.
Speaker 6 explained that the county would hold the engineering contract (formerly RQAW, now listed as DCCN) and manage the engineering work; redevelopment would reimburse the county for the costs. The contract amount discussed was up to $111,000, of which approximately $5,000 is for project oversight and about $106,000 for engineering services. Speaker 6 emphasized that approving the reimbursement agreement obligates the commission only to reimburse engineering costs and does not commit the county or redevelopment commission to construct the project.
Speaker 3 moved to approve the reimbursement agreement as presented; Speaker 1 seconded. The chair called for a voice vote and recorded the motion as approved. Speaker 1 said he would sign the agreement and forward it to the county commissioners for their consideration.
In the same meeting, the commission considered claims and bond payments: Speaker 2 presented claims including a fire department distribution for Union Township (amount in transcript formatting unclear) and two bond payments to Star Financial Bank totaling $332,811.25 ($221,095 and $111,716.25). Speaker 3 moved to approve the claims; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The commission also moved to adopt the minutes from the Jan. 27 meeting by voice vote.
What happens next: Speaker 1 will sign and forward the reimbursement agreement to the county commissioners. Any decisions about road closures, project phasing and construction timing remain with the county commissioners and permitting authorities.
