Council accepts final cost for Veterans District Phase 2 improvements

The Knoxville City Council voted Aug. 3 to accept the completed Veterans District Phase 2 Improvements Project and approve its final cost. "Motion by Nichols, seconded by Mohler, to approve a resolution accepting work and approving the final cost for the Veterans District Phase 2 Improvements Project," the minutes record.

Council Member Chris Nichols moved the resolution and Bridget Mohler seconded; the minutes state the motion "passed all ayes." The action formally closes the project in the city's records and signals administrative acceptance of contractor work as complete.

The minutes do not list the contractor's final dollar figure in the single-line motion; the council's consent and payment documents (filed with the minutes) contain the detailed pay applications and contractor payouts. The council did not attach additional conditions or amendments to the resolution during the meeting, and no public comments were made on this item.
