During a recent government meeting, council members expressed gratitude for the collaborative efforts of the team, particularly acknowledging Carol for her leadership. The council unanimously adopted a resolution, voting \"aye\" with no opposition.

The council approved a purchase order for $60,602.68 to Ostrom's Painting and Sandblasting for the annual maintenance of reflectorized traffic markings across the city. This initiative aims to enhance visibility on main streets, ensuring safety for drivers and pedestrians alike.

Additionally, a significant purchase order was approved for Stryker Medical, totaling $160,031.40 for five power load cot systems, which are designed to assist firefighters and EMS providers, reducing physical strain during operations. Council members voiced strong support for this investment, emphasizing its importance for the safety and well-being of emergency personnel.

Another purchase order for $63,088.44 for four expedition stair chairs from Stryker Medical was also approved without opposition, further enhancing emergency response capabilities.

The council discussed a grant acceptance from the Department of Transportation amounting to $314,500 for a mini roundabout project at Folium Avenue and Hauser Street. However, concerns were raised regarding opposition from one of the property owners affected by the project. The council decided to table the grant acceptance to allow for further discussions with the property owners, aiming to address their concerns before proceeding.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the council's commitment to public safety and community engagement, as they navigated the complexities of local projects and investments.
