Coats board adds ballfield sprinkler replacement to agenda; consent items list $80,300 paving payment
Summary
At its March 13 meeting, the Town of Coats Board of Commissioners approved an amended agenda to add consideration of replacing ballfield sprinkler heads and heard a consent agenda that included an $80,300 payment to Highland Paving Co. and approval of a May 3 street-closure for the Celebrating Spiritual Unity event.
The Town of Coats Board of Commissioners met March 13, 2025, and approved an amended agenda that added a request to consider replacing sprinkler heads on the park ballfield.
Mayor Chris Coats called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. and asked for a motion to add the sprinkler-head item. Mayor Pro Tem Marc Powell moved to add the item; Commissioner Shirley Allen seconded the motion. The board approved the amended agenda unanimously.
The meeting then presented a consent agenda listing four items for action: approval of minutes from the Feb. 13, 2025 meeting; payment of the town attorney’s bill for services rendered Feb. 1–28, 2025; approval of the Celebrating Spiritual Unity event scheduled for May 3, 2025, including street closures on E. Dooley Street and E. Lemon Street; and a payment to Highland Paving Co. totaling $80,300. The payment to Highland Paving Co. was shown in two line items: $75,300 for Powell Bill paving on S. Isabella and E. Washington and $5,000 for utility cut patches.
Connie Lassiter, finance director and town clerk, presented the consent items to the board. The agenda item adding consideration of sprinkler-head replacement was phrased as “Consideration of Quotes and Request for Approval to Replace Sprinkler Heads on Ballfield at Park”; the board did not take action on that project in the portions of the transcript provided.
The meeting roster listed Mayor Chris Coats; Mayor Pro Tem Marc Powell; Commissioners Kelvin Gilbert, Shirley Allen, Monique Warren-Clegg and Jerry Beasley; Interim Town Manager Elizabeth Krige; Finance Director/Town Clerk Connie Lassiter; Police Chief Ken Storicks; Public Works Director Wesley Blount; and Town Attorney Alton Bain.
The board’s next steps, based on the sequence shown in the transcript, were to proceed to new business (including the sprinkler-head item) after presenting the consent agenda.
