City clerk presents bills including $308,781.78 pay application for construction; council records $431,687.38 in disbursements

City Clerk Lexi Bainbridge presented the bills and receipts included in the consent agenda, itemizing multiple regular and large payments. Notable items recorded in the board packet and read during the meeting included a pay application to John T Jones Construction (Pay App #7) for $308,781.78, an invoice from Bolton & Menk, Inc. for $22,054.70, a Werner Sewer & Septic LLC payment of $6,263.63 for a main break at 505 Walnut St, and a Power Solutions invoice of $5,922.02 for a lagoon generator.

The clerk reported total disbursements of $431,687.38 and provided an expense/revenue split by fund (examples shown in the report included General fund expenses of $39,565.44 and Water Utility activity). The transcript does not include contract specifics, retainage, or whether the large pay application is final; the payment appears in the consent-agenda bills that the council approved.

Council action: approval of the consent agenda (which included these bills) was moved by Councilor Tim Langner and seconded by Councilor Becky Blackman and passed on a show of hands with Pickhinke, Langner, Schmitt and Blackman voting aye; Bill Cougill was absent. The transcript records the line items and totals but does not provide further discussion about the large construction payment during the public meeting.
