Mendota council approves $69,541 final payment for watermain project; routine motions pass unanimously
Summary
At its June 9 meeting the Mendota City Council approved final payment of $69,541 for the watermain project and passed several routine motions, including agenda and minutes approval and payment of bills. The council voted 3-0 on each motion.
The Mendota City Council approved the final contractor payment for the city’s watermain project totaling $69,541 on June 9, 2026, and carried several routine motions unanimously.
Engineer Lucas Jones presented the watermain final bill and said the city will apply to the state for the remainder of grant funding and that signatures were needed to complete the payment. Council member Lee moved to approve the payment; Council member Golias seconded, and the motion passed 3-0.
Why it matters: approving the final payment completes a contractor closeout step and triggers the city’s application to the state for remaining grant funds tied to the project.
