Summary

Staff reported final payment processing for the Pika Creek project (original cost reported at about $653,000), EPA 9‑element grant invoicing (~$57–58K reimbursement expected), and announced the county will retain a previously purchased parcel to preserve access and project flexibility rather than sell it.

Ryan provided staff updates spanning project payments, grant reporting and property disposition.

He said the Pika Creek project is nearing final payment and that Scott County’s practice is to pay contractors in full with a small retainage; Ryan cited the project amount as $653,000 and said only a $1,000 retainage remained. He also said staff submitted the phase‑2 9‑element EPA grant reporting and expect to invoice for approximately $57,000–$58,000 in reimbursements. On a separate matter, Ryan updated an outstanding land‑sale question: the county purchased a parcel in 2017–18 to facilitate a CIP project and, after evaluating vegetation and access considerations, staff recommended keeping the parcel for the foreseeable future rather than selling it, citing future maintenance and access value.
