Council approves two-phase water projects, contingent on funding
Summary
The Meade City Council approved a Phase One 2026 water project for $379,733 and a Phase Two 2027 project for $620,555 after City Administrator Dean Cordes presented the single bid received and prior project financials; final funding must be finalized before Phase Two proceeds.
The Meade City Council on Jan. 26 approved two phased water infrastructure projects after City Administrator Dean Cordes presented the lone bid received and financial comparisons from 2020–2025. Councilmember Brian Kroth moved to approve Phase One (2026) for $379,733 and Phase Two (2027) for $620,555; Councilmember George Lucas seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
Cordes told the council that of four contractors solicited, only one returned a bid and that the staff provided prior years' project financials for context. Council members questioned funding availability and the number of additional projects that may be required; the approval of Phase Two was explicitly contingent on finalizing funding. The item was recorded as a formal motion (mover: Brian Kroth; second: George Lucas) that carried with all members in favor.
The council did not set a funding source in the motion; staff will return with finalized funding details before Phase Two proceeds. The council record shows this approval followed the presentation of bid and financial history and will be revisited as budget and funding details are completed.
