New Strawn council pauses Truman Builders remodel contract, schedules March 13 review
Summary
The New Strawn City Council voted 3-0 to send a 14‑day termination letter to Truman Builders for a $107,702 remodel contract and agreed to revisit options at a March 13 meeting rather than take up the issue on March 3.
Councilmember Jeanne Haas moved Thursday for the New Strawn City Council to send a letter of termination with a 14‑day notice to Truman Builders for a $107,702 remodel contract; Councilmember Johnny Hernandez seconded the motion and it carried 3-0.
Haas said the council would "send our letter of termination allowing 14-day notice for the contract of $107,702 to Truman Builders to put all of this on hold and the March 13 meeting we discuss our options to move forward and to not move March 3rd." The motion directed staff to issue the notice and to return the matter for further discussion at the council's March 13 meeting so members could consider next steps.
The special meeting record shows Mayor Rhonda Taylor and Councilmembers Jeanne Haas, Johnny Hernandez and Stephanie Baker were present; Butch Gilkison and David Christiansen were listed as absent. City Clerk Lana Johnson was noted as staff in attendance. After the action on the contract, Councilmember Stephanie Baker moved to adjourn; the motion, seconded by Hernandez, carried 3-0 and the meeting ended at 7:21 p.m.
No ordinance numbers, resolutions, or supporting staff reports were referenced in the meeting minutes supplied. The council’s action was recorded as a formal motion and vote; the item is scheduled for follow-up discussion on March 13, 2025.
