Board approves $573,000 in October payments, highlights harbor upgrade and Whitman project costs
Summary
The transit board approved October payments of about $573,000, including $65,000 as the first installment for a harbor upgrade, $128,000 for Whitman Phase 2 engineering and consulting and software fees; the payments passed by voice vote.
The transit board on Thursday approved payments for October 2025 totaling roughly $573,000, including several large line items tied to ongoing projects.
Staff member presented the list of expenditures and told the board, “Total payments were a little over 573,000.” The presentation called out a $14,000 payment to the East Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission for consulting on a transit development plan; a $7,800 payment to CLA for financial consulting related to energy credits on the Whitman project; a $65,000 first installment to GMV Synchronics for a harbor upgrade project; and a $128,000 payment to Cooney Architects for engineering services for Whitman Phase 2 construction. Staff also noted an $8,400 portion of an annual GMV software fee was expensed in 2025, with the remainder to be expensed in 2026.
The board moved to approve the payments, held a voice vote and the chair declared the motion carried.
Why it matters: the listed payments reflect both recurring operating costs and continuing capital or project-related work (the harbor upgrade and Whitman Phase 2). The Whitman references and the Cooney Architects invoice indicate work on a named project the board has been funding; the harbor upgrade installment is the first of a multi-part payment.
Board action: the motion to approve the October payments was made, seconded and approved by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.
What’s next: staff will continue invoicing and will expense the remaining GMV software invoice in 2026 as noted by staff.
