Wentworth council approves $142,790.80 in school repair work, plans budget amendment
Summary
The council unanimously approved four Stonewall Construction quotes for repairs at Wentworth Consolidated School totaling $142,790.80 and asked staff to prepare a March 4 budget amendment showing a transfer from the General Fund to the SCIF Grant Fund to cover the remainder after approximately $41,000 in SCIF funds are applied.
At its Feb. 4 meeting the Wentworth Town Council unanimously approved four repair projects for Wentworth Consolidated School, accepting Stonewall Construction's quotes totaling $142,790.80.
The four quoted items were identified in the minutes as: (1) complete lead abatement at the cafeteria's food-prep room; (2) exterior waterproofing to address a water issue; (3) lead abatement in the downstairs large room with the electrical room (formerly a breakroom); and (4) cafeteria HVAC options. Mayor Dennis Paschal Jr. moved "That we approve all four of those." Mayor Pro Tem Evelyn Conner seconded; "All voted in favor and the motion carried," the minutes record.
Councilmember Dennis Paschal III asked whether the projects would be paid from fund balance. Yvonne Russell, Town Clerk and Finance Officer, told the council there is "approximately $41,000 left in the SCIF Grant Fund" and that she "will prepare a budget amendment for the March 4th meeting that will show a transfer from the General Fund to the SCIF Grant Fund for the remainder needed to cover the cost of the four projects." The minutes indicate the council approved the projects and that staff will prepare the budget amendment for the next meeting.
The minutes note the four Stonewall Construction quotes are incorporated into the meeting record and available in the clerk's office; no individual contract award documents or detailed payment schedules are included in the minutes. The council did not record separate vote tallies by name in the minutes beyond "all voted in favor." The budget amendment and any related transfers will be considered at the council's March 4 meeting.
