McMinnville board approves consent agenda including revised Bobby Ray facility contract
Summary
The McMinnville Board of Mayor and Alderman approved the consent agenda, which included a revised contractor and scope reduction for the Bobby Ray facility project to lower costs to under $450,000 and reduce impervious surfaces, officials said.
At its regular meeting, the McMinnville Board of Mayor and Alderman approved the consent agenda, which included minutes from the April 14 session and a revised contract for the Bobby Ray facility project.
The Committee member raised questions during the consent-agenda discussion, asking what had changed on the Bobby Ray item and whether the contractor or the project amount had been altered. The Committee member asked, "So you changed contractors?" (Committee member). A Staff member replied that the contractor had changed and that the scope was being pared back "to below 450,000," adding, "Losing a lot of the hardscape, which is actually probably good in the long run," and noting the reduction would lower impervious surface and runoff and keep the work within the available grants (Staff member).
Chair then called for the vote on the consent agenda. After a voice vote of "Aye," the Chair declared the motion passed; no roll-call vote tally was recorded on the record.
Why it matters: staff told the board the project's scope was altered to reduce hardscape and bring the contract amount under $450,000, which affects stormwater runoff and the use of grant funds. The change also involved a different contractor than had previously appeared before the board.
What happens next: the board approved the consent agenda and the meeting proceeded to departmental reports; the revised Bobby Ray contract was resolved as part of the consent items.
