Kirkland trustees amend warrant, order stop payment on $20,165 Fehr‑Graham invoice over Pearl Street bump‑out
Summary
Trustees voted 5–1 to withhold $20,165.01 from a warrant payment to Fehr‑Graham pending discussion about an unapproved bump‑out added to the Pearl Street Bridge; Village Clerk was asked to place a stop payment on the check.
During approval of warrants, Trustee Benes questioned a $20,165.01 payment to engineering firm Fehr‑Graham connected to the Pearl Street Bridge project and asked the clerk to stop payment while the board seeks clarification from the project's engineer.
"It was requested that Village Clerk Scidmore, do a stop payment on the check to Fehr‑Graham in the amount of $20,165.01," the meeting minutes record. Trustee Benes then moved to amend the warrant to pay $116,903.53 — the original total minus the $20,165.01 — and called for discussion with Fehr‑Graham's project engineer, Jason Stoll.
The amended payment motion passed on a roll call vote: Trustees Ziegler, Marshall, Fruit, Michener and Benes voted yes; Trustee Chambers voted no. Clerk Leslie Scidmore was directed to place a stop payment on the Fehr‑Graham check pending the board's opportunity to speak with engineer Jason Stoll and resolve whether the bridge bump‑out was authorized under the firm's oversight.
