Silver Plume approves bills, trustees flag unresolved $4,000 cupola restoration
Summary
Trustees approved bills Jan. 26 while discussing caboose restoration progress and a disputed cupola restoration invoice the town expects to contest; officials also noted four months of missing wastewater invoices from Georgetown, estimated at about $40,000.
The Silver Plume Board of Trustees voted unanimously on Jan. 26 to approve bills for payment while raising concerns about a disputed cupola restoration and delayed wastewater invoices.
Trustee Randal McDonald reported the caboose restoration is moving forward with new floors and windows and siding ready to install, but said the restored cupola arrived unfinished and "in pieces" after the town paid roughly $4,000 for restoration work. Chelsea provided McDonald with the contractor invoice so he could dispute charges; McDonald said Austin will contact the company in Cheyenne to resolve the issue.
Mayor Lee Berenato told trustees Georgetown has not invoiced Silver Plume for wastewater treatment in over four months despite multiple requests from him and the Town Clerk. Trustee Mickey Frey said the Town Treasurer asked for another week to assemble the invoices; Berenato estimated the outstanding charges at approximately $40,000.
Trustee Randal McDonald moved to approve the bills; Trustee Tammy Frey seconded and the motion passed with all in favor. The minutes record the board's direction to pursue resolution with the cupola vendor and to follow up on wastewater billing.
