The Hushton Downtown Development Authority tabled consideration of a fence installation at the train depot after board members and staff said they had not received final plans or quotes. Staff said the contractor who was to present, Scott, had to leave town unexpectedly and could not attend the meeting.

Staff recommended tabling the item until the next meeting so the contractor could present detailed drawings, cost estimates and the fence style. The transcript records staff saying the project is in the DDA budget for the year and that the gala check will be applied toward the fence: “He does have the, the check from the gala that he is, gonna put towards the the fence. And so we do have it in the budget for this year.”

Board members asked for more information about the fence footprint and quotes. Staff recommended the item be tabled to the next meeting when the contractor can be present with full supporting documents and drawings; the board voted to table the item.

Because the contractor was not present in the meeting, specific vendor quotes, final cost figures and exact fence placement were not available on the record. Staff suggested the item could be presented and then possibly tabled again after the board’s upcoming retreat so members have training context before making a final decision.
