West Lafayette council approves emergency funds for wastewater roof, authorizes village attorney contract
Summary
The council approved Resolution 2025-34 to add roughly $5,300 to replace the wastewater treatment plant roof (insurance check noted at $4,162 plus $1,500 additional funding) and adopted Resolution 2025-35 authorizing I Response LLC to serve as village attorney, both adopted as emergencies.
The village council approved emergency measures to cover storm damage to the wastewater treatment plant roof and to authorize a village attorney contract. Council members voted to adopt Resolution 2025-34, which adds $5,300 to the 2025 appropriations to replace the plant roof; the clerk said the insurance company will issue a check for $4,162 and the council would add an additional $1,500 to complete replacement rather than repairing the roof.
Separately, the council adopted Resolution 2025-35 to authorize the fiscal officer and/or mayor to execute documents with I Response LLC (transcript variations include 'is response' and 'I Response') to serve as village attorney; the council declared the contract an emergency and adopted it during the meeting.
What happened: The council moved to suspend the three-reading rule for the emergency resolutions and then adopted both measures. Members present voted in the affirmative when the chair called for the vote.
Next steps and notes: The fiscal officer or mayor is authorized to sign necessary documents for the legal contract, and the additional funds are to be added to the township's appropriations to fund the roof replacement. The transcript shows the insurance amount and the additional council allocation; procurement or contracting details beyond authorization are not included in the excerpt.
