Belle Plaine agrees to pay $30,375 toward laundry-mat water-main expansion
Summary
After a presentation by James Moore, the council approved a motion to pay $30,375 toward a $40,500 bid from McPherson Backhoe to expand city water service for a downtown laundry mat; the vote was unanimous.
James Moore presented an overview, timeline and photos to the council explaining the upgraded water service needed for his downtown laundry mat and said he had not budgeted for the extra cost. Moore told the council the project benefits the city and downtown but that he "did not mind paying his fair share" and felt he had not been adequately informed about the cost.
Councilor Bryan Nolan moved that the city pay $30,375 toward a $40,500 bid (option C) from McPherson Backhoe to expand the city main for the laundry mat. The motion was seconded, and the minutes record a unanimous vote in favor (Armstrong, Hisken, McGinnis, Nolan, Joy). The council did not record additional conditions or a repayment schedule in the minutes.
