Council questions continuing West Street engineering invoices, asks for water‑plan design update
Summary
A council member said recent invoices from Fair and Graham continued after a project extension and asked whether the city is being billed beyond the expected scope; councilors also requested a status update on water‑plan design completion and how much of design fees have been used.
During the April 24 meeting a council member raised concerns about two recent invoices for the West Street project from a firm identified in the transcript as "Fair and Graham" (February and March invoices). The council member said they recalled a prior statement by "Nate" that no further engineering billings would be expected after an extension and asked whether the invoices were over budget. The comment prompted staff to say they would check the records and report back.
The same exchange included a request for a status update on the city’s water‑plan work: the council asked how far the design plans are along and what percentage of the contracted design fees the city has expended. A staff member replied that they would find out and provide the requested details.
No formal action was taken on the invoices or the water‑plan status at the meeting; the council asked staff to follow up. The exchange was recorded during the consent/agenda discussion and generated a direction for staff rather than a motion or vote.
