City Manager Ron Wicker commented that the contractor, in his letter along
with invoice, is requesting that we reduce the retainage from 5/ to 2-1/2/.
Public Works Director Bill Thomasset remarked that the project is essentially
complete and with the reduction of retainage to 2-1/2.1, we would still have
some $200,000. In a discussion between Council and Staff, concerns were
mentioned regarding the number of change orders on this project and -the fact
that we have, always in the past, required a 5% retainage. City Attorney Luke
Daniel stated that because of his past week's work schedule in Court, he has
not had an opportunity to review the papers concerning this request for
payment.
Motion for approval of this invoice was withdrawn by the maker and the
seconder.
It was moved by Councilmember Frauenberger, seconded by Councilmember Tetens,
that to give Staff more time to review the contractor's request, this item be
passed to a future meeting.
Motion passed 5 to 0.
City Attorney Luke Daniel stated there was an improper posting under Executive
Session on the agenda. Under Subsection (f) Acquisition of Real Property, the only
item that should be listed is Street Rights -of -Way, Oakbrook Subdivision. Number two
posting under that subcategory is a mistake; it should have been posted under (e)
Legal, Contemplated and Pending Litigation: MECA Corp. v. B. M. Jamison, et ux;
therefore, .he requested that this item be stricken from tonight's consideration.
It was moved by Councilmember Roberts, seconded by Councilmember Frauenberger, that
item MEGA Corp. v. B. M. Jamison, et ux be deleted from tonight's executive agenda
and considered at a time when it is properly posted under Subsection (e) Legal,
79
Contemplated and Pending Litigation.
