Council authorizes Public Works building renovation; Mayor reports project delays and lift-station problems
Summary
Council authorized CSRS, LLC to begin planning and construction for a Public Works building renovation with Capital Outlay funds. Mayor's Report noted a 30-day delay to the Main Street Enhancement Project and recurring problems at Evangeline Lift Station blamed on large items placed in sewer lines by SMPSO jail inmates.
The St. Martinville City Council unanimously authorized CSRS, LLC to begin planning and construction work on the Public Works Building Renovation using Capital Outlay funds after Mayor Jason Willis requested authorization on Feb. 16.
Councilwoman Flo Chatman moved the authorization; Councilman Jonas Fontenette seconded and the motion was recorded as unanimously carried. The minutes list the source of funds as capital outlay but do not include a project timeline or contract amount for the renovation.
In his Mayor's Report, Jason Willis said the Main Street Enhancement Project is delayed 30 days because the city is waiting on supplies. He also reported the Evangeline Lift Station has continued problems 'due to inmates of the SMPSO jail putting large items in sewer lines' and that the city will bill SMPG for reimbursement of expenses; the minutes do not expand on the acronym SMPG or provide an explanation of the billing arrangement.
