Summary
The board authorized a $31,370 payment to R.V. Sutton for completed Crocker Street storm-sewer work and approved $9,800 for asphalt restoration; the superintendent said May operating revenue was $29,511 versus $40,764 in expenses, a deficit of $11,253.
The Porter Town Board authorized payments to complete recent infrastructure work and heard the superintendent’s monthly finance report.
Staff reported that R.V. Sutton completed the Crocker Street storm-sewer installation, which included replacing two dry wells and an added catch basin due to a low point. The final amount for that project, including a change order to reduce pipe size after encountering a deep gas line, was $31,370. The board moved, seconded and approved issuance of a check for $31,370 to R.V. Sutton.
To finish the project’s disturbed roadway, the board also authorized $9,800 for asphalt restoration; staff said the street department will pay half of the restoration cost from street-department funds and will pay Reith Riley to perform the work. The motion passed by voice vote.
During the superintendent’s report, the town’s May operating revenue was reported as $29,511 against operating expenses of $40,764, producing an operating-month deficit of $11,253. The year-to-date capital improvement fund balance was listed as $78,592.41; checking fund 1010 had $177,842.10; and the Trust Indiana fund was reported at $389,175.60. Staff said lift stations performed normally during the recent storms and that maintenance and equipment expenses included repairs to a vacuum/jetting truck.
All motions were approved by voice vote; the transcript records the board responding “Aye” after motions were moved and seconded.
