Finance committee moves pay request and several budget amendments to council, including road reconstruction consolidation and library reserve transfer
Summary
Finance recommended a contractor pay request for the Muzzy/Allen Grove street utility project, consolidation of Allen and Muzzy road reconstruction line items, and a library reserve transfer of leftover 2025 funds (discussed amounts ~$35,690). Committee also recommended moving forward on routine TAG Center quotes.
At the May 26 Finance Committee meeting members recommended multiple fiscal actions to the Common Council.
A pay request from Kaplan and Canass Incorporated for the Muzzy and Allen Grove street utility construction project was presented; the transcript renders the figure unclearly but references approximately $336,556 for the contractor pay request. The committee moved to recommend the pay request to the council and took a roll call.
Separately, staff proposed a budget amendment to consolidate Allen and Muzzy road reconstruction accounts into a single line item to better align billing and auditing practices; the committee recommended that amendment to the council. The presenter described the measure as an accounting cleanup that preserves ability to track work breakdown for audit and reporting.
The committee also recommended a 2026 library budget amendment to transfer leftover 2025 budget balances into designated library reserve accounts. The amount discussed was presented in the transcript as $35,690 (a later line said $35,698); staff and the library treasurer supported the reallocation and the committee recommended the amendment.
These financial items were advanced to the Common Council for final action; staff will forward documentation and memos as part of the council packet.
