Council accepts several donations from community

MADISON – At its May 29 meeting, Madison City Council was happy to accept several donations from community groups and a legislator.

Rotary Club of Madison donated $1,000 to Madison Police Foundation, specifically to support the Reserve Force.

“We feel a kinship with that volunteer force of 10, who epitomizes Rotary’s motto of ‘Service Above Self,'” Rotary President Marc Jacobson. “(The Reserve members) volunteer their time and pay their own way (uniforms, equipment, weapons) to augment our police department, supporting special events and patrolling.”

In addition, council accepted these donations:

* Bob Jones High School and Discovery Middle School Jazz Bands — $460 from Jazz Brunch to benefit Madison Senior Center.

* Chambers Bottling — $33 to Madison Fire and Rescue Fire Department.

Payment of regular and periodic bills included these larger sums:

* OMI Inc. — Earthwork consultant services for Palmer Park improvements, $3,708.

* Mullins LLC — Site plan, bid documents and contract administration for Palmer Park rejuvenation, $21,255.

* BOMAG — Compactor for Public Works Department, $29,529.

* KB Development LLC — Work completed on bridge over Moore’s Branch, $83,030.

Council accepted $5,900 settlement for police vehicle (2011 Ford Crown Victoria) totaled in an accident on April 21.
