Corinth council amends budget and approves modular building contract to relocate public works

The City Council of Corinth voted unanimously to amend the FY2025–26 budget to provide $343,045 for facility improvements tied to relocation of the public works operation and to approve a contract to purchase and install a modular office building for public works staff. Mr. Campbell told the council the original relocation budget was $1.5 million and the city needs an additional $343,045, offset in large part by a property receivable of about $325,000; he said the net impact to fund balance would be roughly $20,000.

The council adopted ordinance number 26-03-19-08 to carry the budget amendment. Mr. Campbell then presented contract 2026-1023 for a 42-by-72 modular office building to house the manager, director of engineering, facilities, streets and drainage and administrative staff (water and wastewater staff will occupy separate buildings). The contract was described in the record as being procured through The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS) Cooperative Contract #230902, with an amount not to exceed $294,689 and an authorizing expiration date of Dec. 31, 2026. Staff noted a roughly 12-week lead time for the modular unit.

The vendor name appears inconsistently in the meeting record (transcribed as "Palomar modular building" in one place and as "Polymer Modular Building(s) LLC" in another). The council approved the contract as recorded (contract 2026-1023) and authorized the city manager to execute necessary documents. The vote on both the ordinance and the contract was recorded as unanimous; the transcript does not list individual vote tallies or identify who moved or seconded each motion by name.

Councilmembers thanked the finance department for their work in preparing materials and covering the fiscal implications of the agenda items; no further questions or amendments were recorded.
