Arcanum discusses repairing 21 raised manholes; no funding motion made
Summary
Village Administrator Marcus Ballinger reported a discounted quote of $24,675 from Bergman Excavating to raise 21 manholes; Ballinger proposed shifting about $12,337.50 across funds to pay for the work but council made no motion to authorize the transfers during the meeting.
Village officials raised a proposal to repair 21 raised manholes on side streets while Bergman Excavating is on the S. High St. project, receiving a discounted quote of $24,675 for the work.
Village Administrator/Police Chief Marcus Ballinger said the raised manholes can damage snow plows and residential vehicles and proposed funding the work by moving $4,112.50 from the General Fund Miscellaneous account to Community Environment Capital Improvement and $8,225 from Sewer Miscellaneous to Repair to Lines. Resident Randy Baker noted that a previous plow repair caused by raised manholes cost about $7,000 to fix.
Council discussed the safety and budget implications of repairing the manholes while contractors are onsite but did not make a motion to approve the quote or to authorize the proposed fund transfers at the May 26 meeting. The transcript records the estimate and proposed transfers but no vote. If council chooses to revisit the proposal, the quote and the requested transfers were recorded in the meeting packet.
