Florence authorizes mayor to request MDOT release of contractor and sign reimbursements

On the recommendation of City Engineer Tim Parker, the Florence board on Aug. 19 authorized Mayor Trey Gunn to send a letter to the Mississippi Department of Transportation asking MDOT to issue authority for the city to fully release contractor AJ Construction, Inc. from maintenance obligations. The board also authorized and directed Mayor Gunn to sign current and future reimbursement forms to be sent to MDOT. Both motions were seconded and carried unanimously.

The actions direct the mayor and city staff to complete administrative steps with MDOT that affect contract closeout and the city's ability to claim reimbursements. The motions were recorded in the minutes as recommended by the city engineer and approved without recorded dissent.
