Lyons approves consultants, drawdowns and architect services for Park Project (23-PWF-003)
Summary
The council approved consultant and construction-management agreements and two CDBG drawdowns for Lyons’ Park Project (grant 23-PWF-003), and authorized architect services from JEO for $39,800 contingent on NENEDD approval.
Council members voted on Nov. 12 to move forward with professional services and initial drawdowns tied to Lyons’ Park Project under the CDBG grant 23-PWF-003.
Motions approved included a service/consultant agreement with Northeast Nebraska Economic Development District (NENEDD) for construction management on the 23-PWF-003 grant and two CDBG drawdowns to NENEDD for general administration fees (Drawdown #1 for $1,445 and Drawdown #2 for $1,190). The council also approved an agreement with JEO for architect services for the Park Project in the amount of $39,800, contingent on NENEDD approval. Separately, the council approved a Letter Agreement for Professional Services from Olsson relating to the Street Superintendent for calendar year 2025.
Votes on these items were recorded by roll call and carried without recorded opposition. The JEO agreement is contingent on NENEDD approval, and the drawdown amounts are recorded as payments to NENEDD for administration. Mayor Kyle Brink and council members emphasized that expenditures tied to the grant will proceed under grant rules and with NENEDD oversight.
Next steps: The JEO architect agreement requires NENEDD approval before the architect contract is finalized; drawdowns for general administration have been released to support project administration.
