Stromati Utility Committee approves $293,100 contract for 71st Street resurfacing, OKs August disbursements

The Stromati Utility Committee voted Sept. 8 to award a contract for Project 25-1040, the 71st Street resurfacing, for $293,100 and approved the committee’s disbursements for August 2025.

Chairperson Andrew Buschon opened the meeting and confirmed a quorum after roll call; multiple members responded “Here” when called. During the business portion, a committee member moved to approve the contract award for Project 25-1040 and the motion was seconded. The committee recorded affirmative "Aye" votes and the chair declared the motion passed. The transcript lists the contract amount as $293,100; the contractor name as transcribed was unclear and is not specified in the meeting record.

The committee also approved the minutes of its Aug. 11, 2025 meeting after a motion and second, with votes recorded in favor. Later on the agenda a committee member moved to approve disbursements for August 2025; that motion was seconded and passed on affirmative votes.

After completing the agenda items, a committee member moved to adjourn, the motion was seconded, the members said "Aye," and Chairperson Andrew Buschon declared the meeting adjourned.

The meeting record does not include roll-call vote tallies by individual member names beyond the chair’s recorded "aye"; other members’ affirmative responses were spoken but not tied to individual names in the transcript. The transcript also contains several speaker-label and name strings (for example, the roll call called "Seals," "Vice chairperson Fareed," and three individuals listed as "Alderson Keeling," "Alderson Kennedy," and "Alderson Rose"); those names were called during roll call and were recorded as present, but the transcript does not show those individuals making motions or being formally recorded by name on the votes.
