Alma council approves April financials and construction payments, greenlights sewer lining change order
Summary
The Common Council approved April financial and treasurer reports and authorized construction payments tied to the municipal building project, including a $29,864.94 sewer-lining change order and Market & Johnson pay request #8 for $214,499.28; a separate change order produced a $76,549.34 credit to the contract.
The City of Alma Common Council on May 21 approved its April 2026 Financial Report and Treasurer’s Report and authorized multiple construction payments and adjustments tied to the municipal building project.
Council members voted to approve Market & Johnson pay request #8 in the amount of $214,499.28 and accepted Change Order 004, which totaled a credit of $76,549.34 and reduced the original Market & Johnson contract from $3,676,900 to $3,600,350.66. Separately, the council approved Change Order 001: sewer lining to Jurowski Construction for $29,864.94; Collins Plumbing and Lien and Peterson Architects had signed off on the work as necessary to avoid later floor demolition when finishing work occurs.
Finance Committee Chair Gary Jepsen also reported administrative items approved by the committee, including a $7,200 2027 contract with Kleven Property Assessment LLC and a confirmed $5,000 contribution from Oakmonte toward a fiber-optic cable construction agreement (each party provided $5,000). The council approved the actions by roll call vote.
The municipal building’s Phase 2 plans were presented to the council by Bill Boettcher and are being submitted to the State for review. The council did not set additional contingencies beyond the signed contractor and architect approvals for the sewer-lining work.
The council's formal recorded motions were: approval of the April financial reports; payment to Market & Johnson; acceptance of the Market & Johnson contract credit (Change Order 004); and approval of Change Order 001 for sewer lining. All motions passed by roll call.
