EDC approves $5,000 payment to landscaping contractor after billing mix-up
Summary
Staff and the board authorized payment of a $5,000 invoice from Westwood Professional Service to settle a retainage invoice that resulted from a communication and book‑closing misunderstanding; finance requested the board clear the payment.
The board approved payment of a $5,000 invoice from Westwood Professional Service Inc. that staff described as retainage missed due to a communication and year-end closing misunderstanding.
Chris Riggs explained that staff and the contractor had a miscommunication: staff thought the project was complete and closed in finance, while the contractor later submitted a $5,000 retainage bill. "About, I think it's 2 months later, we get a a bill from them for $5,000 stating this is our retainage," Riggs said. Finance asked staff to bring the matter to the board so the payment could be authorized and the books closed.
After brief discussion, a motion to approve the invoice was made, seconded and the president announced the motion carried.
