Summary
Council approved an invoice register totaling $826,973.66, including a $637,852.50 construction invoice tied to the wastewater treatment plant; payroll for early January was also approved.
The Oglesby City Council voted Jan. 20 to approve bills totaling $826,973.66, including a $637,852.50 charge tied to construction of the wastewater treatment plant.
During the meeting the mayor presented the monthly invoices and noted the separation of construction costs in the register for clarity. "In the invoice register, it's a total amount of $826,973.66," a council member said; the register shows $637,852.50 for the wastewater plant construction item. A motion to approve the bills carried on roll call.
Councilors also approved payroll for Jan. 2 ($67,486.90) and Jan. 16 ($66,996.60) by unanimous voice/roll-call votes. Commissioner McDermott commended Visoring Construction for progress on the wastewater treatment plant, saying the work is on schedule.
The council did not discuss financing sources during the vote; no additional spending approvals or budget amendments were recorded in the meeting minutes for these items. The approvals authorize payment of the invoices listed in the city's invoice register and clear those items for payment according to standard city procedures.
The council did not receive additional detail on contract change orders or pending payment conditions during the public portion of the meeting; staff follow-up would be required for specifics on contract terms or project timelines.
