Germantown Village Board to vote on police department construction manager, project funding adjustments
Germantown's Village Board is set to act on funding for a construction manager for the new police department and several project-related financial adjustments at its July 20 meeting. The board will also consider a $164,375.25 letter-of-credit reduction for the Heritage Park North development.
All recent committee and commission meetings from the past two weeks were agenda-only — minutes have not yet been published, so outcomes from those sessions are not yet confirmed in the public record.

The board's agenda includes five action items:
- **Police department construction manager:** Approval of funding for a Construction Manager at Risk for the new police department project, with the contract to be awarded to Moore Construction Services.
- **Heritage Park North:** Reduction of the letter of credit by $164,375.25 to Home Path Financial.
- **Maple Road bridge repair:** Amendment #1 to the agreement with MSA, adding a 10% contingency of $31,130.00.
- **High Point Pass Project:** Change order to the agreement with Vinton Construction in the amount of $34,909.96.
- **Wage and equipment rates:** Adoption of 2026 rates.
The General Government & Finance Committee previously considered the police department construction manager item at its July 16 meeting, but minutes from that meeting are not yet published.
