Council approves May payables; Councilman Carpenter abstains from vote
Summary
The Soda Springs City Council approved payables for May 1–18, 2016, after questions about a $3,700 sanitary sewer progress payment and an $8,400 purchase of two metal storage containers for ice-rink equipment; Councilman Carpenter abstained citing an employer conflict.
The Soda Springs City Council approved its list of payables covering May 1–18, 2016 after a brief review and questions from council members about specific vendors.
Council members asked about vendor #140, A+ Contractors, and a $3,700 charge described as a sanitary sewer line progress payment. Members also questioned a recurring $2,160 transit support payment and discussed whether the local service is still operating. The council noted the county also contributes to the transit service.
Council members clarified an $8,400 charge for two metal storage containers purchased to store ice-rink equipment on Kelly Park Road. The Mayor explained the containers were purchased to protect and store the rink equipment during summer months.
When the council took a roll-call vote, the motion passed. Councilman Carpenter abstained "because of my employer and the conflict," a statement recorded by the Mayor. The record notes the abstention and that the remainder of the payables motion carried.
