City says it cannot reimburse Rockrose for interim Colonies landscape maintenance
Staff told the Colonies board that, per Finance and Legal, the City could not reimburse Rockrose Development for landscape maintenance it paid for between contractors, because no contract was in place and procurement law was not followed. The board chair and a Rockrose representative said that was the opposite of what they had been told, and the Rockrose representative said the City Manager's team had said the developer could be reimbursed up to the amount left in the Amarillo Integrated contract. The board chair asked for a meeting with the City Manager, City Attorney, the Colonies' attorney and Rockrose. The minutes record no vote.[1]

The May 9, 2023 minutes say "per finance and legal, they would not be able to reimburse Rockrose since there was not a contract in place and procurement law was not followed." An assistant city attorney said the money budgeted for the former contractor would stay with the PID and could be used for other purposes, but not for the period between contractors, which the City had determined was not an emergency. A Rockrose representative said that spending $40,000 had prevented $500,000 of damage. [1]

The cached Colonies minutes after May 2023 do not record the requested meeting with the City Manager or a reimbursement for the interim maintenance. The site does not assert an outcome. [1]
