Murray trustees allocate $44,792 in ARPA funds to park project, approve contracts and permits
Summary
The Murray Board of Trustees on Oct. 8, 2024 approved allocating $44,792 in remaining ARPA funds to a park project, awarded several small contracts including heating for a new shop and demolition of a park restroom, and approved consent-agenda items including a $25,151.71 fund transfer.
The Murray Board of Trustees voted on Oct. 8, 2024 to allocate the village's remaining American Rescue Plan Act funds—$44,792—to a park project and approved several related contracts and permits during a regular meeting at the Murray Municipal Building.
Chairman Jeff Anderson moved, and Trustee Stan Flak seconded, the allocation of the remaining ARPA funds to a park project under the expenditure category “Strong Healthy Communities: Neighborhood Features that Promote Health and Safety.” The motion passed with ayes from Trustees George Blessing, Stan Flak, Zach Schroeder, Rowdy Woodard and Chairman Anderson. Anderson also laid over approval of a specific playground purchase to allow staff to gather additional product options and bids.
The board approved the consent agenda—on a motion by Trustee Zach Schroeder, seconded by Trustee Rowdy Woodard—including the Sept. 10 meeting minutes (regular, 1 & 6 Year Street Plan, and budget and tax request hearing), acknowledgment of the Treasurer’s Report, revised claims/wages/payroll taxes, and the transfer of $25,151.71 from the General Fund to the Park Fund to zero out fiscal year 2023–24. Those items were adopted unanimously by recorded ayes from Blessing, Flak, Schroeder, Woodard and Anderson.
In routine business the board approved building permits for Laura Daws (217 E Young, fence) and for Geoff and Shelly Clark (1874 Highway 1, post-frame building). Trustees also approved a $5,999.75 change order for Omaha Paving Co. to cover additional 3-inch milling on Latta Avenue, and voted to discontinue the village’s safe deposit box at Cornerstone Bank because it was not in use.
Contracts awarded included a $5,615.50 heating contract for the new shop building to Platinum Heating, Cooling & Plumbing LLC (motion by Woodard, seconded by Blessing). The board also awarded a $2,600 contract to Sieh Construction for demolition and removal of the old restroom at Young Park; that motion passed with Trustees Blessing, Schroeder and Woodard voting aye and Trustees Flak and Anderson voting nay.
The meeting concluded at 7:50 p.m. with Clerk Shelli Hayes certifying the minutes. A detailed list of supplier claims totaling $44,222.90 was included in the minutes.
