Carl Junction aldermen approve amendment to on-call architectural services agreement

Carl Junction ' The Carl Junction Board of Aldermen voted unanimously June 2 to adopt an ordinance amending the city's professional services agreement with SAP Design Associates Architects PC to provide on-call architectural and planning services to support implementation of the city's strategic plan and related municipal projects.

The ordinance was read by the clerk and placed on second reading and final passage after motions on the floor. A roll-call vote was recorded as 8'0to'00 in favor. The transcript records an ordinance number but contains inconsistent digits when reported aloud; the number is listed as '2650' in one place and '2615' in another in the meeting record.

City officials said the amendment is intended to allow the consultant to serve on a retainer to help incorporate the strategic-plan work into the city's comprehensive plan and to provide as-needed architectural and planning services for municipal projects. The ordinance text authorizes the city administrator to execute the amendment for sums to be mutually agreed upon.

No public speakers opposed the measure during the meeting. The clerk completed a roll-call tally naming those recorded as voting yes; the transcript contains a mixture of name spellings between the earlier attendance roll and the roll-call vote (see reporter's note below). The ordinance was declared adopted following the recorded vote.

Reporter's note: the meeting transcript contains inconsistent name spellings in attendance and the roll call (for example, 'Paul McAfee' appears during attendance and 'Bob McAfee' is recorded during the roll call; 'David Pile' and 'David File' similarly appear). The article preserves the vote result as recorded on the meeting transcript (8'0to'00) and notes the discrepancy rather than altering names not verified within the record.
