Council adopts change orders and a convenience-fee ordinance; approves minutes and January financial report
Summary
At its Feb. 24 meeting the council adopted a $41,821.23 change order resolution for a school-area turn lane project and an ordinance allowing the city to recover certain credit/debit transaction fees; consent agenda items including meeting minutes and the January financial report also carried.
The City of Green council approved several items during its Feb. 24 meeting, including committee-adopted legislation and routine consent motions.
Finance committee reported the adoption of Resolution 2026-R-01, a change-order approval tied to the Graybill Road turn lane project at Green Elementary. The finance chair said the change orders total $41,821.23 and were required after additional grading and sanitary manhole adjustments; council adopted the resolution by roll call, recorded as adopted 7-0.
Council also adopted an ordinance (2026-02, as amended) amending Chapter 30 of the codified ordinances to allow the city to recover credit and debit card processing costs in certain transactions. Council voted to adopt the ordinance as amended and it was recorded as adopted 7-0.
On the consent agenda the council approved the Feb. 10, 2026 meeting minutes (a motion carried with one abstention by Councilman Meger) and approved the January 2026 electronic financial report subject to audit. Those consent items were moved, seconded and carried by roll call.
The council discussed that the convenience-fee ordinance is intended to allow the city to recover processing costs on certain transactions while exempting instances where the city requires card use for customer convenience (for example certain parks and recreation fees). Finance chair said the change-order process triggers council review when increases exceed contract thresholds and that this change order met that requirement.
Council adjourned after routine committee reports and the mayors announcements.
