Everton board approves budget amendment for new library project ordinance
Summary
The town board approved an amendment to the new library project ordinance to align contract amounts and updated estimates; staff said the ordinance’s numbers are closer to expected final costs and that the town has paid most of its committed funds, while a numeric figure in the transcript ('The total number now is $9.74') does not specify units in the record.
At its Jan. 13 work session the Everton town board approved a budget amendment to the project ordinance for the new library to reconcile recently approved contract terms with updated cost estimates.
Staff (speaker 4) said the change is not a new project but a revision to make the ordinance reflect the contract and closer-to-final numbers. "The total number now is $9.74," the staff member said during the briefing; the transcript does not specify the units associated with that figure. Staff added that the town has paid nearly all of the funds it committed to the project and that additional donor and grant prospects are under discussion to cover any remaining gaps. Members who had recently visited the site reported rapid progress on framing and interior work.
Committee member (speaker 3) moved to approve the budget amendment; the motion carried. Staff said additional updates will follow as contractor invoices and grant awards are reconciled.
Next steps: staff will monitor project spending, reconcile contract payments and return to the board with subsequent budget updates as needed.
