permits issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and Indiana Department
of Environmental Management (IDEM). Mr. Crouch and Mr. Lanz had reviewed the
contract and recommended it be approved. Attorney Lewis has already reviewed the
contract for the Board and approves. The cost proposed services is $19,800 as listed in
the contract. Mr. Madden made motion to approve the contract and have President
Bryant to sign for the Board. The motion was seconded by Mr. Morton.
Motion passed unanimously
Mr. Bryant brought up discussion regarding the payment of the TV in Conference
Room. Mr. Gill advised that he had concerns that the Board was approached after
purchase instead of requesting to pay one -third of the bill. Mr. Bryant had the same
concerns that the Board had not been consulted before purchase, instead just assume that
payment would be given with no request from the Mayor. Mr. Morton had the same
conclusion as the other members that we submit part of payment without any information
or request before purchase. Mr. Gill made motion not to pay for part of the TV and
seconded by Mr. King. A vote was taken from each member, and the yes vote was not to
pay any part for the TV. Therefore a vote was taken by each individual member of the
Board.
