Milbank Council Approves $21,428 Change Order for Lake Farley Storm Shelter to Meet FEMA Louver Specs
Summary
Council approved Change Order #1 for the Lake Farley Storm Shelter, adding $21,428.61 to specify FEMA-rated louvers rather than tornado-rated units; staff said the funding agency approved the change. Vote was 5-0.
The Milbank City Council unanimously approved Change Order #1 for the Lake Farley Storm Shelter project on Feb. 9, adding $21,428.61 to the contract to require FEMA-rated louvers. Administrator Steve Pendergrass explained that project specifications called for hurricane/FEMA-rated louvers rather than tornado louvers and that the funding agency had approved the modification.
The minutes record the additional cost and the council's unanimous vote but do not identify the mover or seconder. City staff noted the change was required to meet the funding agency’s specification, and the item was adopted as part of the Action Items agenda. The change increases the project's approved cost for storm-shelter components and will be reflected in project accounting.
Council members recorded their approval alongside other infrastructure items at the meeting; no dissent or amendments were recorded in the published minutes.
