Edgerton council approves series of routine finance and procurement items
Summary
The Edgerton City Council approved a pay request for Albion Street work, authorized payment of bills and payroll, awarded multiple bids and approved two resolutions during its regular meeting.
The Edgerton City Council approved several routine finance and procurement items at its Dec. 16 meeting, including a payment request for the Albion Street street-utility improvement project and authorization to pay city bills and payroll.
Council action included approval of Pay Request No. 5 for the Albion Street street-utility improvement project in the amount of $19,297.78 and authorization to pay bills and payroll totaling $200,721.08. The council also approved awarding the lowest responsible bid for lighting at city facilities to Energy Performance Lighting in an amount not to exceed the previously approved project total, and accepted a bid for insulated blinds at the police department to Jim Ederson for $2,770.
The council approved two resolutions: Resolution 30-24, authorizing the write-off of 2022 delinquent personal property taxes, and Resolution 29-24, adopting the Edgerton Fire Protection District 2025 budget. The council also declared the oldest hybrid police squad car surplus and set a minimum bid of $10,000.
Why it matters: These votes finalize payment and procurement steps for local infrastructure and facility projects and set the fire protection district's budget for 2025.
Key details: Pay Request No. 5 for the Albion Street project was moved by David Borics, Finance Committee member; the council subsequently approved the bills and payroll and the bidding awards by roll call. The lighting contract was approved “not to exceed” the amount previously approved by the council; the exact remaining authorization figure was not specified during the meeting. The insulated-blinds contract to Jim Ederson is for $2,770. The resolution to write off delinquent 2022 personal property taxes was adopted as Resolution 30-24; the Fire Protection District budget was approved as Resolution 29-24. The surplus police vehicle was declared with a minimum bid set at $10,000.
Votes and next steps: Each item above was approved by roll call during the meeting. The lighting vendor will proceed within the council-authorized budget cap; the police vehicle will be posted for auction at the stated minimum bid. The bids and resolutions will be reflected in the minutes and implemented by the appropriate city departments.
