Village pauses payment to DPI over dispute about Victory Park dirt-removal quantities
Summary
Board members held DPI-related line items after officials identified a discrepancy in dirt-removed quantities at Victory Park: 1,037.5 cubic yards were documented removed, while DPI claimed an additional 1,062.5 cubic yards had not been included; quantities will be reviewed with Engineer Adam Bunge before payments resume.
Village attorney Jim Stevens told the board that 1,037.5 cubic yards of dirt were documented removed from Victory Park and that initial settlement talks with DPI had discussed $30 per cubic yard. DPI disputed that figure, asserting another 1,062.5 cubic yards were not included; the quantities will be reviewed with Engineer Adam Bunge. Until the totals are reconciled, the affected line items in the financial report to DPI will be held.
The minutes record that President Timothy H. Owens will contact board members after the quantities are agreed. The board did not record a final payment decision or a revised settlement amount in the minutes; an engineering review is the next step recorded in the minutes.
