Jamestown City Council voting session (April 24, 2023)<\/p><\/div>\n

Jamestown City Counci<\/strong>l has approved a settlement to end litigation between the City and the company hired to renovate Tracy Plaza<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The City of Jamestown hired Patterson-Stevens<\/strong> in 2017 to renovate Tracy Plaza, which sits above and also serves as the roof for the city police and fire departments<\/strong> along with the city parking garage.<\/p>\n

A lawsuit seeking $2 million was filed in February 2019 by the city and New York Municipal Insurance Reciprocal<\/strong>, claiming Patterson-Stevens Inc.\u00a0was responsible for not properly securing the area, which allowed rain water to damage the police and fire departments below.<\/p>\n

That lawsuit was settled in September 2020.<\/p>\n

Patterson-Stevens counter-sued the city for breech of contract in July 2020, claiming the city owed over $306,000 in back payment for work that was done at Tracy Plaza in 2018.<\/p>\n

The settlement approved Monday night has the City paying Patterson-Stevens $155,000 with Patterson-Stevens paying the city $75,000. Corporation Counsel Elliot Raimondo<\/strong> said this ends all litigation between the city and Patterson-Stevens.<\/p>\n

Council also approved lifting the hiring freeze to allow an Ombudsman to be hired. This position replaces the Associate Corporation Counsel position. The ombudsman will perform human resource duties in the Corporation Counsel’s office.<\/p>\n

A resolution also was approved to purchase new finance and payroll software from Springbrook<\/strong> using $106,286 in American Rescue Plan funds. This software will replace the KVS system with the administration saying the upgrade will result in time-savings for staff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
