Arapahoe council approves claims, adopts resolution clearing liens on 507 4th Street
Summary
At its Oct. 7, 2025 meeting, the Arapahoe City Council approved claims and payroll for the period ending Oct. 7, adopted Resolution 2025-22 to release liens pending the sale of 507 4th Street, and tabled a decision on a pool pump. An abstention was recorded on a single claim.
The Arapahoe City Council on Oct. 7, 2025 approved claims and payroll for the period listed in the minutes and adopted Resolution 2025-22, authorizing the release of liens pending the purchase of 507 4th Street, during a regular meeting at the EMCC Council Room.
The council approved the consent agenda, including the minutes of the Sept. 23, 2025 regular meeting, after a motion from Councilmember Middagh and a second from Councilmember tenBensel. That motion carried on a roll-call vote with Paulsen, tenBensel, Polston, Middagh and Carpenter recorded as voting in favor and Kreutzer absent.
Later in the meeting, Councilmember Middagh moved, and Councilmember Polston seconded, to approve claims and payroll for the period shown in the minutes (recorded in the transcript as “9-24-25 to 107-25”; the clerk’s cover sheet and agenda indicate Oct. 7, 2025). The roll call for the claims approval listed tenBensel, Polston, Middagh, Paulsen and Carpenter as ayes; the minutes also record an abstention by Middagh on claim #103515 for $531.61. The clerk’s detailed claim list includes vendors and amounts such as NPPD $69,492.67, SMC Exteriors $68,600.00, NE Dept. of Revenue $10,883.39 and Water & Light $4,916.75, among others.
Mayor Koller introduced Resolution 2025-22, described in the minutes as a resolution executing a Release of Liens pending the purchase of 507 4th Street. Councilmember Carpenter moved the resolution, Councilmember Middagh seconded, and the resolution was passed and adopted by roll call with Polston, Middagh, Carpenter, tenBensel and Paulsen recorded as voting aye; Kreutzer was absent.
City staff provided routine reports: the City Superintendent and the City Clerk/Treasurer delivered updates, and the Pool committee discussed a pump. The council tabled further action on the pool pump until the next meeting.
The council set its next regular meeting for Oct. 21, 2025 at 7:30 p.m., following the CRA meeting in the same location, and adjourned by unanimous consent at 8:23 p.m. The minutes were signed by City Clerk Dixie Sickels.
What’s next: Resolution 2025-22 will facilitate the pending transfer of 507 4th Street subject to the conditions noted in the minutes; the pool pump issue will return to the council agenda at the Oct. 21 meeting.
