Chair leads board to approve $9.6 million invoice for Value Road work and green-light phase 1 monument site assessment
Summary
The board authorized payment of invoice 1106823 for $9,607,162.50 to Neil Schafer for the Value Road Realignment Project and approved a phase 1 structural engineering site assessment for monument relocation after brief discussion and a vote.
The board authorized payment of invoice 1106823 for $9,607,162.50 to Neil Schafer for the Value Road Realignment Project and approved a professional services proposal for a phase 1 structural engineering site assessment related to monument relocation.
The staff member seeking the additions told the presiding officer there had been "1 vote in Executive Session with regard to the acquisition of personal property" and proposed adding the invoice authorization and the engineering proposal to the agenda. The invoice authorization motion was recorded as "Motion by Chris Vincent" and "2nd by Luke Coker." Members responded verbally to the voice vote and the chair announced the motion carried.
On the engineering-services item, staff described the request as a "phase 1 site assessment" for structural engineering tied to monument relocation. A board member said the matter was important and urged waiting until the seventh board member was seated to ensure full representation, noting the board was "coming up on our 200 year anniversary" and that the decision felt like a "critical" board vote. The chair acknowledged that he could cast a tie-breaking vote but said he would vote to proceed, stating he would cast "aye" to move the project into phase 1 so staff could "explore this and see where it leads us." The motion to approve the proposal carried by voice/hand vote.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn moved by Mr. Chris Benson and seconded by Mr. Jerry Crane; the chair called the question and the membership voted in favor.
Details that were recorded in the meeting: invoice number 1106823 for $9,607,162.50, vendor/name referenced as Neil Schafer, and the engineering request described as a phase 1 site assessment for monument relocation.
