Lakemore approves resurfacing at Dodds Park; council corrects clerical error to reduce payment figure

Council amended Resolution 7623-2026 to fix clerical language and the terms-of-payment figure, then approved the resolution accepting Cardinal Asphalt's proposal to resurface the basketball and proposed pickleball courts at Dodds Park.

During the reading the clerk initially read project language that referenced surveying and water-main work (a separate contract) and a payment figure of $79,000; council members identified the text as incorrect. A council member moved to amend section one so it simply states that council "accepts the proposal from Cardinal Asphalt for resurfacing the basketball and proposed pickleball court at Dodds Park," and to correct the payment in section two from $79,000 to $29,880. Members discussed that the item is a reverse grant and that resurfacing had not been done on those courts for decades; the amendment and then the resolution as amended were approved by roll call.

Why it matters: The approved work will resurface village recreation courts at Dodds Park, and the council corrected the record to reflect the actual proposal/payment terms before adoption. The transcript records the amendment and unanimous roll-call approval in the provided segments.
