Crothersville approves $61,370.78 pay app for water work, approves beginning water/sewer study and discusses USDA vehicle grant
Summary
The council approved Pay App 1 (part C) for McGuire Iron for $61,370.78 toward water-project/water-tower work, agreed an updated water and sewer study is urgent with Baker Tilly to be contacted, and discussed starting a USDA vehicle grant application to cover roughly 55% of a new vehicle estimated at $72,000.
The Crothersville Town Council on July 1 approved a pay application for water-project work and discussed multiple infrastructure and procurement steps.
Jamy Greathouse moved and Mark Wilkerson seconded approval of Pay App 1 (part C) for McGuire Iron in the amount of $61,370.78 for the town's water project and water tower; the motion carried 4-0. Council members received updates that CCMG project timing is expected to move to one project call per year, that the grant match was reduced from 25% to 20%, and that bridge work remains a primary cost driver. The council tabled a vote on a Professional Services Agreement for the CCMG project to the August meeting to review costs.
On utilities planning, the council recorded an immediate need for an updated combined water and sewer study—the last study dated to 2016 or 2017. Members agreed the study should proceed now and that it is more cost-effective to conduct water and sewer analyses together; Baker Tilly was named as the firm to contact to begin the work. No formal motion to contract Baker Tilly was recorded in the July 1 minutes.
The council also discussed beginning the USDA vehicle-grant process. Staff advised the grant would cover an estimated 55% of vehicle cost, leaving a 45% local match; members noted vehicles now cost roughly $72,000 and that the grant application requires three dealer quotes for identical vehicle specifications. No motion to apply was recorded at the July 1 meeting.
