Trustees approved semi-monthly payables totaling $313,125.20, including $106,944.70 to Bush Turf for ballparks, $44,204.63 to Grama Construction for a water-main repair and $25,000 for the annual fireworks display.

Finance staff presented regular payables for the period totaling $312,516.85 plus a miscellaneous refund of $608.35, bringing the total for approval to $313,125.20.

Staff explained those charges and said the inspection-software expense is part of the inspection program. The staff member moved to pay the bills; the chair seconded, and the board approved the payment by roll call: Dan Schumer — Yes; Doug Humphrey — Yes; Dan Burbeck — Yes; Jeremy (Jody) Lee — Yes; Karen Wilson — Yes.

The board provided no further conditions on payment. Staff will proceed with the disbursements as approved.
