The City of St. Paul City Council on May 5, 2025 approved Elsbury Construction LLC Pay Request #10 for the Middle Loup River Subdivision Project #023-00398, authorizing payment of $637,556.05 for street paving, U.S. Highway 281 paint striping, streetlights and wiring, and minor storm sewer work.

Jerry Woodgate seconded the motion; Council President Katie Kowalski, Peters and Woodgate voted aye and the motion carried, 3–0.
The pay request covers progress work on the Middle Loup River Subdivision; the council did not amend the scope listed in the application. The project appears on the city’s capital improvements schedule and the payment was presented as part of standard contractor invoicing and account transfers to fund the invoice.
The approval authorizes immediate payment to Elsbury Construction; the council did not attach additional conditions or schedule changes to the contract during the meeting. The council also approved the broader consent agenda and disbursements list that includes this item.
