CONSENT AGENDA
Councilmember Talbot moved to approve the following consent agenda. The motion passed unanimously.
General disbursements and payroll
Increase mileage reimbursement to IRS approved level of 34.5 cents per mile
Request for award of 2001 Sealcoat and Crack Sealing contract to Pearson Brothers, Inc. (University Grove area)
Approval of the first partial pay estimate to Hardrives, Inc. for the Northome street
repairs and alley improvements project
POLICY AGENDA
Additional work on streets in Northome neighborhood as part of the Northome Street Repair Project
Administrator Worthington said that because the current street project's final cost came in substantially less than what was budgeted, council is being asked to add five additional streets
to the mill and overlay schedule this summer. It is calculated that adding the five streets in the schedule would cost approximately $50,000, including overhead. This will
bring the total cost of the project to $409,369.34. After brief discussion, councilmember Lamb made a motion to approve the addition of five streets for mill and overlay in the Northome
street repair project area. The motion passed unanimously.
