St John council approves purchase requests and construction disbursements

The St John Town Council approved purchase requests and several construction-account disbursements during its May 27 meeting.

Clerk/Treasurer Katie Goalie read 11 purchase requests totaling a combined amount as stated in the meeting record; the requests included: Bundor Electric for street‑light repair on Winding Trail ($8,815.90); Ferguson Waterworks for water meters/couplings/check valves (amount read into the record); multiple drainage contracts for Lantern Drive, Ruth Court, Garden Way and Atherton Street improvements (several line items read); Lambert Concrete for driveway/curb/gutter repair following a water main break; a Motorola Solutions radio package for a new police hire; pump repairs for two lift stations by Superior Pumping Service; and two sets of structural fire gear from WS Darling and Company. Council moved, seconded and approved the purchase requests by voice vote (5–0).

Council then considered and approved an accounts payable voucher representing payment for payroll, supplies, services and equipment for the town. The motion to approve accounts payable carried 5–0.

During the same portion of the meeting council approved disbursements from bond construction accounts: requisition 12A from series 2025A and requisition 12B from series 2025B, both payable to Core Construction as read in the meeting. Those motions were approved by unanimous voice vote.

The council did not amend the items during the meeting; staff will process the approved purchases and disbursements per established purchasing and requisition procedures. Specific invoice and requisition documentation was included in the meeting packet and is part of the public record.
