Palco council conditionally approves Pay App #7 and disbursement requests for Nitrate Plant project
Summary
At a June 4 special meeting, Palco council voted 3-0 to approve Pay Application #7 and two disbursement requests for the Nitrate Plant project, contingent on receipt and verification of outstanding supporting documentation; unresolved paperwork and returned errors will be reviewed June 10, 2026.
Mayor Kyle Karlin called the City of Palco special meeting to order on June 4, 2026. Council voted 3-0 to approve Pay Application #7 from Woofter Construction & Irrigation and Disbursement Request #7 (CDBG) and Disbursement Request #6 (KDHE STWSIA DW11) for the Nitrate Plant project, contingent on receipt and verification of required supporting documentation.
"Don motioned to approve Pay App #7 and Disbursement Request #7 from CDBG and #6 from KDHE STWSIA DW11, contingent upon receipt and verification of all required supporting documentation," Council Member Don Steeples said when offering the motion; Council Member Brandon Kuhn seconded and the motion carried 3-0. The council recorded the vote as three affirmative votes. The meeting record notes that Mayor Kyle Karlin, Council Member Brandon Kuhn and Council Member Don Steeples registered the affirmative votes.
Council identified unresolved documentation problems that must be cleared before final disbursements are processed, including requirements still outstanding from funding sources and specification questions related to contractor pay applications. Documents submitted May 5, 2026 remain unprocessed and several returned documents contained errors that required correction. Clerk Larissa Wilson has devoted significant time to correcting those errors, the council said.
The council scheduled follow-up on the documentation and grant-administration questions for its June 10, 2026 meeting and instructed staff to withhold any final payment processing until the required supporting materials are received and verified. No public visitors spoke at the June 4 special meeting.
Actions recorded at the meeting included: approval of the meeting agenda (motion by Brandon Kuhn, second by Don Steeples; carried 3-0), the conditional approval of Pay App #7 and the two disbursement requests (motion by Don Steeples, second by Brandon Kuhn; carried 3-0), and adjournment at 7:14 PM (motion by Don Steeples, second by Brandon Kuhn; carried 3-0).
