Herington commission approves CDBG assurances, moves to apply for $41,910 and OKs contracts and mower purchase
Summary
The commission authorized assurances to the Kansas Department of Commerce for park maintenance tied to CDBG funds ($2,000), approved a CDBG application for $41,910, authorized an administrative-services contract for the City Lake restroom/shower project (contract amount unclear in the transcript), and approved purchase of a John Deere mower (about $17,000).
At its meeting, the Herington City Commission authorized multiple grant- and procurement-related items tied to Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) activity.
The commission authorized a resolution assuring the Kansas Department of Commerce that the city will provide ongoing funding for operation and maintenance of improvements financed with CDBG funds; staff described park maintenance at $2,000 as part of that assurance.
The commission also approved a resolution certifying the city's legal authority to apply to the Kansas Community Development Block Grant Program for $41,910 and authorized the mayor to sign application letters and related documents.
Commissioners moved to approve a contract for administrative services for the City Lake restroom/shower project associated with the CDBG award. The contract is recorded in the transcript as a contract "not to exceed 21,60" (transcription unclear); the motion included staff review and authorization for the mayor to sign. Clarifying paperwork for the contract was noted to be in commissioners' physical stacks even if not in the packet.
Separately, the commission moved to purchase a John Deere mower for about $17,000; staff described the current mower hours as roughly 1,400 and that the department had maintained the existing equipment (another figure of 1,600 hours is also recorded). The motion to purchase was seconded and discussion ended with direction to proceed.
Where the transcript records motions and seconds, it does not include a roll-call vote tally for each item. The meeting also recessed twice into executive session during consideration of separate contract and attorney-consultation matters under KSA 78-4319(b)(2); the earlier executive session resumed with the clerk noting "No action was taken."
