Scotia board approves Flint House grant and authorizes structural analysis contract
Summary
The Village of Scotia approved a technical assistance grant for the Flint House and authorized a contract with Ingenuity Engineering and Design PLLC for a structural analysis, amending the contract amount on the record to $3,680 plus $42.88 in mileage; the grant portion recorded in the discussion was $2,978.
The Village of Scotia board approved a technical assistance grant contract for the Flint House and authorized the mayor to sign a separate contract for a structural analysis of the property.
Board members moved to approve the technical assistance grant and, in a separate motion, to hire Ingenuity Engineering and Design PLLC to perform a structural analysis. During the second motion the board amended the contract amount on the record to $3,680 plus $42.88 in mileage before approving the item. The grant amount discussed on the record was $2,978, which a participant said is about 80% of the quoted figure, leaving an approximate local share of $800; the speaker also said all funds are budgeted.
Why it matters: The actions fund immediate technical work on the Flint House and commit village resources for an engineering assessment, steps that typically precede rehabilitation, grant applications, or other preservation work. The board’s approvals allow staff to execute contracts and proceed with next steps for the property.
Details: The board did not record a roll-call vote in the transcript; both items were moved, seconded and declared carried on the record. The contract with Ingenuity was discussed and the dollar amount corrected on the floor before approval; mileage was budgeted separately.
