Board approves seven demolition contracts totaling $46,974; contractor name varies in record
Summary
At its Aug. 4 meeting the Board of Public Works approved awards for seven demolitions, listing seven addresses and combined costs of $46,974. The contractor is referred to in the transcript as both "Yarberry" and "Yarborough."
The Board of Public Works voted Aug. 4 to award seven demolition contracts that, taken together, total $46,974. "I'm requesting the Board of Works to award Yarberry the following properties for demolition," a municipal staff member said while listing the seven properties and associated costs: 1127 Arrow Avenue ($6,895); 6 Crescent Court ($7,800); 2316 East 4th Street ($5,800); 1232 East 22nd Street ($3,491); 1612 Riverside Drive ($4,799); 1814 Walnut Street ($8,889); and 334 West 14th Street ($9,300).
A board member moved to award all seven bids to the contractor; the motion was recorded in the transcript as, "Like to make a motion we award all 7 bids, for demolition to Yarborough." The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The meeting record captures the chair, Mr. Kiesing, calling for the vote and saying "Aye," after which he said, "So ordered." The transcript does not record additional individual vote tallies beyond the chair's affirmative response.
The contractor's name appears inconsistently in the transcript: the staff presentation uses "Yarberry," and the motion speech uses "Yarborough." The board took no further discussion or public comment on the awards in the provided excerpt. A board member then moved to adjourn; no vote on adjournment is included in the excerpt.
The awards as recorded are limited to the contract names and the per-property amounts listed above; no contract numbers, execution dates, or implementation timelines are shown in the meeting excerpt.
