Prairie City City Council approves $21,905 increase for street repairs, tables two storm‑sewer items and moves water‑main bid date
Summary
At a five‑minute special meeting Oct. 30, the Prairie City City Council approved a $21,905 cost increase for annual concrete street repairs to cover storm‑sewer replacements, voted to move the Phase 2 Water Main bid letting to Nov. 7, 2024, and tabled two separate storm‑sewer items for later consideration.
The Prairie City City Council on Oct. 30 approved a $21,905 increase to the annual concrete street repair project to cover replacement of an existing storm‑sewer pipe and reconstruction of inlet structures at W Pleasant View Drive and S Norris Street, plus inlet casting and riser repairs at Ashtyn Lane. Councilor Emily Simmons moved the measure, Councilor Derek Ingle seconded, and the roll‑call vote carried unanimously among those present.
The action follows a memorandum in the meeting packet outlining the additional work and costs needed to address storm‑sewer infrastructure encountered during preparatory work. The council recorded the approved increase as a single total of $21,905; the packet did not break down the amount by specific line items.
Separately, the council approved changing the bid letting date for the Phase 2 Water Main Project from Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024, to Thursday, Nov. 7, 2024. Councilor Deb Townsend moved the change and Councilor Emily Simmons seconded; the motion carried on a unanimous roll‑call vote of members present.
Two agenda items related to storm‑sewer work were tabled for later consideration. The council tabled an Old Business item concerning replacement of a storm‑sewer cover and inlet east of the proposed street access on E Jefferson Street and, under New Business, tabled a related request to replace a storm‑sewer cover and inlet east of the E Jefferson Street and S Sherman Street intersection. The minutes record those items as tabled but do not specify when they will return to the docket.
Mayor Chad Alleger presided; Councilors Emily Simmons, Derek Ingle and Deb Townsend were present via Zoom. Councilors Joe Disney and Phil Holland were absent. City Administrator Jerry Moore, City Clerk/Finance Officer Christie Busby and Public Works Superintendent Harry Brannen attended. The special meeting convened at 12:00 p.m. and adjourned at 12:05 p.m.
The immediate next procedural step recorded in the minutes is the modified bid letting date for the Phase 2 Water Main Project on Nov. 7, 2024. The tabled storm‑sewer items remain pending future council action.
