Groves council approves $327,028.60 invoice list; transcript includes an inconsistent SCADA payment figure
Summary
Council approved the March 23 invoice list totaling $327,028.60 covering 39 items. During the reading staff recited an Epic Engineering line described as a final SCADA payment for $2,206,851.46, a figure that appears inconsistent with the stated total and was not reconciled in the meeting.
The Groves City Council voted March 23 to approve the invoice list dated March 23, 2026, in the amount of $327,028.60, covering 39 line items.
Staff reviewed several entries during the presentation, including payments such as an $8,172.52 repair for a 42-inch pipe clamp, a $12,225 payment for the water plant, a $25,000 payment to the auditor, Citibank charges of $12,494.16, and a line read aloud as a final payment to Epic Engineering for the SCADA system recorded in the transcript as "$2,206,851.46." The staff speaker read those line items and then restated the grand total as $327,028.60; the transcript contains both figures and the disparity was not resolved during the meeting.
Council members asked no further questions and approved the invoice list by unanimous recorded vote. The motion to approve was made by Staff member (S3) and seconded by Committee member (S4); those voting aye were Mayor Warren, Mayor Pro Tem Tim Gaiten, Council member McAdams, Council member Shalette and Council member Holmes.
Because the transcript records both the large Epic Engineering figure and the lower grand total, readers or administrators should consult the city's official invoice documentation for final accounting and any clerical corrections.
