Lockport council approves several resolutions: invasive species removal, stormwater controls, EMA pad, Granicus, tasers and other consent items
Summary
At its October meeting the Lockport City Council approved multiple consent resolutions including contracts for invasive woody removal, stormwater station controls, an emergency management concrete pad, a civic meeting software contract and police equipment. The council also discussed a proposed purchase of a downtown corner lot.
The Lockport City Council approved a series of consent resolutions and contract awards at its meeting, including work to remove invasive woody species at a city conservation area, stormwater station controls, a concrete pad for Emergency Management Agency equipment and purchases for the police department.
Resolution 25-077 accepted a proposal from V3 Construction Group to remove invasive woody species at the Abigail Glen conservation area on a city-owned 61-acre parcel, with a contract amount not to exceed $34,648. City staff said the work will remove undergrowth and invasive plants while preserving mature trees and improving drainage in the detention pond areas.
Resolution 25-078 accepted a proposal from TriR Systems Inc. for stormwater station control work, not to exceed $49,000. City staff asked the council to approve the appropriation; the council approved the resolution by roll-call vote.
Resolution 25-079 accepted a proposal from Connolly Excavating and Construction to construct a concrete pad for Emergency Management Agency (EMA) equipment at the Chevron property, not to exceed $30,410. Staff said the EMA garage will be relocated from the wastewater treatment plant to the fenced area behind the Chevron site; the work covered by this resolution is for the concrete pad and initial site preparation, with additional building work budgeted for next spring.
On the consent agenda the council also approved the following items: a three-year agreement with Granicus for civic meeting software (Resolution 25-076); purchase of tasers for the police department (Resolution 25-075); and payroll disbursements and vouchers through Oct. 7. During the roll call on bills through Oct. 7, one council member abstained, citing that the city was paying their employer for certain boxes.
Later in the meeting, committee-of-the-whole discussion included Resolution 25-084, which would authorize purchase of the rear parcel of a corner lot at Eleventh and State streets to create additional downtown parking. Ben, a city staff member, said the net cost to the city for the back parcel would be $55,000 after cooperation with Main Street and the Steve Winters family trust; the city plans sidewalk work and engineering for a small parking lot and later possible building additions by private parties. That item was discussed in committee of the whole and staff said additional design and grant-funded safety improvements are being coordinated; no final appropriation or final action on building additions was recorded in the committee discussion in the transcript provided.
Resolution 25-085 authorized the police department to replace worn carpet and install vinyl plank flooring in the rear half of the police building for an amount not to exceed $30,000; the item was funded from bids and the low bidder was Landmark Flooring.
The council approved the consent and contract items by roll-call votes during the meeting; individual vote tallies for each resolution were not read into the record on the provided transcript for every item.
