Hillside Court repairs completed; payment held after contractor failed to pull permit
Summary
Staff reported Timber Creek Plumbing repaired two underground leaks at Hillside Court and billed roughly $14,500; staff told the board the contractor did not apply for required city permits and that payment will be withheld until the permit issue is resolved and inspections completed.
Staff told the board that Timber Creek Plumbing located and repaired two leaks at Hillside Court, excavated and replaced concrete and left exposed piping for several days to confirm the repairs held. The property was restored and hallway flooring replaced; staff reported receiving a contractor invoice for approximately $14,500.
At the meeting staff said the contractor did not apply for required permits on a city building; a building inspector left a yellow tag at the site. Board staff told members they have relayed the permit concern to Timber Creek, submitted photos to the inspector and will not issue payment until Timber Creek resolves the permit issue with the city.
Board members expressed surprise that a local contractor would not pull permits for work on a city‑owned building and noted that the work being left exposed for multiple days was an unfortunate missed opportunity for inspection. Staff said they have the photos and will follow the inspector's guidance before releasing payment.
Next steps: Timber Creek is to contact the building inspector and provide the required permit documentation; staff will withhold payment until the inspector signs off.
