Arapahoe council approves payroll and vendor claims; hears fiber and lighting updates
Summary
The City Council approved routine claims and payroll for March 18–April 7, heard an ATC update on a fiber internet build and an E-Scapes Harmony Lighting presentation, and recorded an abstention on a specific claim.
The Arapahoe City Council on April 7 approved the consent agenda and routine claims and payroll for the period March 18 to April 7.
During the consent agenda the council approved the minutes of the March 17 regular meeting on a motion by Councilmember tenBensel, seconded by Councilmember Middagh. For claims and payroll, Councilmember Kreutzer moved to approve the claims and payroll and Councilmember Paulsen seconded. The minutes record roll-call approval; separately, the minutes note an abstention by Councilmember Middagh on claim #103976 for $215.62.
The council also addressed a conflict-of-interest claim: Councilmember Middagh moved and Councilmember tenBensel seconded approval of claim #103968 for $32.90 to First Central Bank; the minutes record ayes from Middagh, Kreutzer, tenBensel and Paulsen and an abstention by Councilmember Polston. The motion carried.
In public forum the minutes record an ATC representative briefing the council on work to finish a fiber internet build and a presentation from E-Scapes on a Harmony Lighting project; the minutes say the council plans to move forward with the lighting project but do not record a formal vote or contract award on that item.
Financial detail recorded in the clerk's report attached to the minutes: payroll entries of $12,369.05 (3/23/26) and $14,386.47 (4/6/26); listed vendor claims and a total claims subtotal of $123,675.40; and March receipts totaling $272,196.18. The minutes incorporate the clerk's financial detail into the official record but do not break out which specific appropriations (if any) will fund the lighting project or the grant application approved elsewhere on the agenda.
The meeting adjourned by unanimous consent at 8:50 p.m.; the next regular meeting was scheduled for April 21, 2026, at 7:30 p.m.
