Thorntown council approves several payments, reduces consultant fee share and accepts W.A.V.E. lease pending review
Summary
Council approved payment of a Patriot Engineering invoice (exceeded prior not-to-exceed amount due to a private utility locate fee), approved paying 20% of Kleinpeter Consulting Group's invoice for an OCRA grant rather than the requested 40%, accepted the W.A.V.E. lease pending legal review, and approved meeting minutes; all motions passed 5-0.
At its Jan. 26 meeting, the Town Council approved a set of routine payments and contract actions.
Clerk‑Treasurer Aly Hickman asked the council to allow payment of a Patriot Engineering invoice that exceeded a previous not‑to‑exceed amount of $8,300 because the bill included an additional Private Utility Locate fee. Bruce Burtner moved to allow payment; Randy Bruder seconded and the motion passed 5‑0.
The council also discussed the Kleinpeter Consulting Group contract for work on an OCRA grant. Council President Dave Williams said he recommended paying 20% of Kleinpeter’s invoice (the firm had requested 40%). Bruce Burtner moved to approve payment at 20% and to allow Williams to sign the contract; Randy Bruder seconded and the motion passed 5‑0.
Aly Hickman reported she had discussed renewal of the W.A.V.E. lease with Angie Moody and that W.A.V.E. has since become a nonprofit. Council moved to accept the lease pending noted changes and legal review; motion passed 5‑0.
The council also approved meeting minutes for Dec. 15, Dec. 22, Dec. 31 and Jan. 5 (motion by Burtner, seconded by Bruder, passed 5‑0). A police report was delayed because of an internet outage and will be submitted later; members briefly discussed police vehicle plate processing and surplus vehicles.
Recorded votes were unanimous on the motions taken at the Jan. 26 meeting. Several items were advanced with direction to proceed with legal review or administrative processing rather than additional council debate.
