Summary
The Castle Valley Town Council approved paying a $1,093,040.64 invoice for the Castle Creek Culvert Project and discussed grant reimbursements and outstanding costs. Staff said the town has spent $342,006.83 so far and expects reimbursements to reduce net local expense.
Chair called discussion on the Castle Creek Culvert Project and read the invoice total: "So it's a $1,093,040.64. I mean, we approve that bill." The council discussed outstanding charges and the timing of grant reimbursements.
Council staff provided a line-item update: "the town has now spent $342,006.83," and said additional April invoices and riprap work remain; staff described submitted reimbursement requests that, if approved, would significantly lower the town's net cost.
Council members asked procedural and timing questions about final billing, contractor walk-throughs and monitoring of remaining site work. The road department earlier told the council the roadway paving was nearly complete and that the town expected to reopen the road after a final contractor walk-through.
The council moved to take the payment action on the bill and proceeded with a voice vote; the motion passed. Members said they will continue processing grant reimbursement paperwork and monitoring any additional contractor charges before final accounting is complete.
The council recorded no roll-call dissent during the payment motions and adjourned at 7:19 p.m. Next steps identified by staff include final invoices, tracking outstanding riprap costs and updating the council on reimbursement receipts.
