Council Approves Pay Requests, Authorizes Pump Replacement and Adjusts Invoice Line
Summary
Council approved a consent package totaling $252,184.20 including wastewater and engineering invoices and approved a purchase request to replace a faulty lift pump (amendment of $653.75 to cover labor and mileage). A climate-engineers invoice line was corrected to $23,791 before the consent vote.
On Feb. 9 the Anamosa City Council approved a consent pay-request package totaling $252,184.20 and authorized a purchase request to replace a faulty lift pump for the public utilities department with an added $653.75 for labor and mileage.
Council reviewed four pay items in the consent package: a corrected invoice of $23,791 from Climate Engineers for wastewater plant catwalk safety upgrades (the line was amended during the meeting), HR Green invoices of $1,042 for the sidewalk program and $4,549.58 for municipal engineering services, and an RH Inc. retainage payment of $29,988.87 for the wastewater treatment plant flow EQ basin project. The consent motion passed after the climate-engineers amount was corrected.
The pump replacement item had previously been approved in December but the added labor and mileage put the purchase over the council approval threshold, prompting the current review; council moved and seconded approval and the motion carried. Staff said the additional costs brought the item back for formal council approval to ensure proper oversight.
Council asked staff to continue transparent invoicing and coding of pay items to ensure budget lines are clear when consent items are presented to council.
