Harriman council approves sinkhole repairs, delinquent-collection contract and paving bid; votes summarized
Summary
At the meeting the council approved a CNK Construction contract to address long-standing sinkholes, authorized a contract with American Municipal Services limited to accounts 365 days delinquent, and awarded a $75,000 paving bid to GMBB Asphalt; first readings were held for an arcade ordinance and a rezoning proposal.
The Harriman City Council took several formal actions in addition to hearing reports on storm damage and city services.
Key votes and motions (summary):
- Contract for sinkhole repair: Council approved a contract with CNK Construction to repair persistent sinkholes and drainage issues on a city parcel tied to a settled lawsuit. Council discussed inspections and possible interior access to affected buildings; staff said a formal contract will follow. (Motion carried; roll call recorded all present voting yes.)
- Delinquent-collection services (American Municipal Services, AMS): Council approved a service agreement with AMS for collection of delinquent court fines and fees, with council direction that accounts provided for collection will be delinquent no more than 365 days. The record shows council members asked whether the 365-day limit should be encoded in the contract; city staff confirmed the council’s direction will be followed. (Motion carried.)
- Paving contract: Council approved a bid from GMBB Asphalt (listed at $75,000) to pave several streets including Elliot Street, Janelle Court, Franklin Street and Griggsby Street and authorized the city manager and attorney to finalize a contract. Council asked staff to confirm exact extents on Janelle Court and noted a $250,000 paving allocation in the current budget. (Motion carried.)
- Ordinances: Council approved first readings for ordinance 0226-01 (video-arcade/code rewrite) and ordinance 0226-02 (rezoning from C2 to C1 for several parcels), each to be followed by formal public hearings at the next meeting before final votes.
Each of the voting items was carried with the roll call recorded in the meeting minutes. Staff will prepare final contracts and ordinance text for subsequent meetings and public hearings.
