Pleasantville gives developer extra time to deliver $300,000 payment, approves related infrastructure payment
Summary
The council extended developer Jamie Adkins until Sept. 3 to make a $300,000 payment tied to the Adkins Development and approved a $754,231.58 pay application for street improvements; officials said water and sewer are stubbed to lots and the developer agreed to reimburse the city $2,700 for a copper water line.
The Pleasantville City Council on Aug. 20 unanimously approved a 10-business-day extension for developer Jamie Adkins to deliver a $300,000 payment that was due Aug. 1, and approved a related infrastructure pay application.
Attorney Bob Stuyvesant told the council he had been unable to reach Adkins’ attorney; Jamie Adkins appeared by Zoom and said he has been working with TruBank and expected the payment to be processed this week. Councilmember Aaron Hurt moved to allow Adkins until Sept. 3 to make the payment and to authorize the city attorney to pursue legal action if the payment is not received; the motion was seconded and carried with all members voting in favor.
The council also approved pay application #11 to Vanderpool Construction for the W. Pleasant St. & Hwy 5 Improvements project in the amount of $754,231.58. Public Works Director Shawn Breazeale said punch-list items remain on the street project and that water and sewer services are stubbed to each Adkins lot; he said he was told Adkins would reimburse the city $2,700 for a copper water line installed to a residence on 35th Ave. City Clerk Rachel Reed said she would prepare an invoice to Adkins Specialized Carriers for that cost.
Mayor Kody Jurgens and council members emphasized the city’s expectation of timely communication from the developer. Hurt said the council had extended good faith and recommended a firm deadline; the council set Sept. 3 as the cut-off and directed legal follow-up if payment is not made.
The council recorded no dissent on either motion. The city attorney was authorized to act if the payment does not arrive by the new deadline.
