Court approves $59,572.80 draw for Elder Construction amid progress concerns
Summary
The fiscal court authorized a draw of $59,572.80 to Elder Construction for a public project after staff reported the contract is roughly 35.36% complete; commissioners asked staff to notify the contractor and seek proof of shipped building components before future payments.
The fiscal court voted to approve a construction draw payment of $59,572.80 to Elder Construction for work on the county project. Staff presented the draw and a breakdown of work completed, and a county staff member noted the contract shows about "35.36%" completion. Commissioners pushed for confirmation that the building package and materials had shipped and asked staff to obtain clearer documentation of on‑site progress before future draws.
Several commissioners voiced concern about paying large sums when visible, finished work was limited. One commissioner asked legal counsel and staff to ensure adequate protections in the contract and to issue notices to the contractor where deserved; others recommended continuing to pay required draws while closely scrutinizing invoices and delivery schedules. The motion to pay the draw was moved and seconded and carried on roll call.
