Carl Junction approves sidewalk change orders, adopts protest procedures; tables Lakeside Park deed restriction
Summary
The Board approved change orders and final passage for sidewalk improvements (keeping total at $265,300), adopted protest procedures required for ARPA-funded West Bri Lane storm-water work, and tabled a deed-restriction ordinance for Lakeside Park pending clarification from the grantor about the legal description.
The Carl Junction Board of Aldermen passed multiple ordinances concerning sidewalks and procurement procedures, adopted a protest-procedures ordinance tied to an ARPA-funded storm-water project, and tabled a deed-restriction action affecting Lakeside Park.
Council corrected the contractor name and ratified change order number one for the R Street sidewalk improvement project, advancing Ordinance No. 2428 by final passage. The council then approved change order number two for the same sidewalk project, which the clerk said left the project total unchanged at $265,300.
Separately, the council adopted Ordinance No. 2430 to establish protest procedures for solicitations and contract awards for the West Bri Lane storm-water drainage project. Staff said the language came from a DNR-approved form used in a similar project in Lamar and was required to comply with DNR and ARPA requirements.
Council discussed an ordinance to record deed restrictions required by a Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) grant for Lakeside Park that — as delivered by the grantor — described the entire park rather than just the playground and pavilion the city had originally applied for. Several members urged caution because the restriction would limit use of the entire park "in perpetuity" and could prevent future property adjustments unless an equal amount of recreational land were provided elsewhere. With only five members present, a councilmember noted the measure needed unanimous affirmative votes; the council voted to table the ordinance and directed staff to ask the grantor whether the restriction could be limited to the playground/pavilion parcel or otherwise modified.
Votes recorded in the meeting: multiple ordinances put on final passage and approved by hand/electronic vote with five in the affirmative and three absent; the Lakeside Park deed-restriction ordinance was tabled.
