Council approves $5,617 Master Excavation repair for Elgin Ave leak; clerk discloses family link to contractor
Summary
Notus council approved a $5,617 repair bid from Master Excavation for an Elgin Avenue water leak on July 8; City Clerk Loretta Vollmer disclosed her husband works for the company but said she does not participate in contract decisions.
Public Works presented a bid from Master Excavation to fix an Elgin Avenue water leak; the council approved the bid of $5,617.00 and added an amendment requiring staff to notify the council if estimated costs exceed $30,000. Councilman Devin Krasowski moved the approval with the amendment; Rob Hartsock seconded. The roll-call vote was recorded as unanimous in favor (Krasowski, Hartsock, Ahlborn, Connor).
City Clerk Loretta Vollmer disclosed during the discussion that her husband works for Master Excavation but stated she has no role in decisions about which contractors the city contacts for repairs and that Master Excavation had worked for the city before she began her employment. The minutes record the disclosure but do not show any recusal or further action regarding the clerk's statement.
