Skyline council approves $283,742.99 payment to WEB Construction; hears pump house and water-tower updates
Summary
Skyline council voted unanimously to pay WEB Construction $283,742.99 and approved Change Order #3 as officials reported pump house electronics are being programmed, the water tower is overflowing pending conservation measures, and AT&T has yet to finish equipment placement on the tower.
Skyline’s City Council voted unanimously Aug. 12 to pay WEB Construction $283,742.99 toward the city’s water tower and pump house work and approved Change Order #3 to keep the project moving.
Treasurer Lon Whitehead reported July receipts of $68,352.02, payables of $29,306.62 and total fund balances of $1,014,391.33, with $429,371.11 set aside for the water tower/pump house project. Councilmember Shirley Piepho moved to pay WEB Construction; Eric Manske seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
Council heard that electronics for the pump house are installed and staff are programming the controls; contractors requested a one-month extension to complete remaining work. Eric Manske moved to approve Change Order #3 for WEB Construction; Shirley Piepho seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Mayor Paige Attarian addressed a question from guest Marilyn Schueneman about water visibly leaking near the base of the water tower, saying the tower was temporarily overflowing and that the city will manage levels when its water-conservation procedures are in place. The council was told AT&T had not yet completed permanent placement of equipment on the water-tower monopole but has communicated it will finish the installation; no completion date was given.
The council also authorized payment of routine bills and approved the treasurer’s written report by unanimous vote. Details on remaining timelines for the pump house and the contractor’s completion schedule were not specified in the minutes.
The meeting record shows the city continues preparatory work at the tower site, including bringing in #5 rock for the service road and running CAT5 cable to the pump house to support final programming and controls.
