Commission approves $253,350 partial payment for roundabout work
Summary
The commission approved a partial payment of $253,350 for roundabout construction work, with commissioners noting remaining minor items and emphasizing low‑maintenance landscaping to avoid future maintenance burdens on parks/public works.
The Hobart Redevelopment Commission approved a partial payment of $253,350 on March 16 for the roundabout construction work.
Staff said the contractor has completed most work but still has minor punch‑list items. Commissioners discussed landscaping choices and maintenance responsibilities, with multiple members urging simple, low‑maintenance plantings to avoid creating an ongoing upkeep burden for the parks or public works department.
The Chair (speaker 2) moved to approve the payment; the motion was seconded and carried on a voice vote. Staff noted the payment is a progress payment and that final closeout will await remaining work and inspector sign‑off.
Next steps: staff will process the partial payment and continue oversight of remaining punch‑list items prior to final acceptance.
