Jewett board approves vendor payments for pool extras, truck repair, emergency remediation and final website fee
Summary
The board authorized multiple vendor payments including $8,919.58 for Dowling Pool extras, $19,692.49 for a truck transfer-case repair, $5,006.75 to Belgian Trucking for emergency fuel-tank remediation and $817 to settle and terminate a website contract with Digital Topaz.
During regular business the Town of Jewett board approved several vendor payments and contract items. The board authorized payment of $8,919.58 for additional work at Dowling Pool, approved a repair estimate of $19,692.49 for a 2015 International plow truck (transfer case), and accepted an emergency remediation invoice of $5,006.75 from Belgian Trucking to bring the town's heating-fuel-tank installation into compliance with PESH requirements.
Supervisor Greg said he would still try to negotiate the Dowling Pool extras but asked the board to approve the invoice so contractors could be paid for work already performed. On the fuel-tank remediation, Greg said the town engaged Belgian Trucking on short notice to avoid $200/day fines and will seek reimbursement from the PESH remediation/reimbursement division. The board also approved paying $817 to terminate the contract with the outgoing website vendor, Digital Topaz, concluding a difficult migration and closing the account.
One member said they were uncomfortable approving extras without more detail but the board approved the payments by majority vote. The board directed the town clerk and supervisor to complete vendor notifications and paperwork required to process the invoices.
