City Administrator Kevin Creech and department heads presented a set of routine contracts and purchases that the Trenton City Council approved unanimously on Feb. 10.
The council extended the city’s civil engineering services agreement with CE Raines so the contract expiration aligns with June 30, 2028. Creech told the council CE Raines agreed to maintain the same pricing the city had for the previous three years and said he had been “very, very happy with the service and expertise” provided by the firm.
Chief Hawkins requested approval of a two‑year professional services agreement with the Rosso Group to provide consulting and accreditation services through the Michigan Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission process. Hawkins said the Rosso Group is a preferred vendor recognized by the Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police; the total contract cost is $40,000 split across two budget cycles and budgeted in the department’s funds.
Library Director Ms. Johnson asked the council to accept a quote to purchase and install 13 computers for staff at circulation and reference workstations. The first installment of the library’s multi‑year end‑of‑life replacement plan is $9,167; Johnson said the new machines will be capable of running Windows 11 and that hard drives and patron data will be wiped according to library privacy procedures.
Council also received and placed on file two items from the 30th District Court: fines, costs and fees for January 2025 showing the city owing $5,822.24, and the court’s 2025 final case load and yearly case load detail.
Mayor Rezeppa, Councilman Benedetti and other members moved and supported the separate motions; each passed unanimously with no recorded amendments.
The council approved authorized disbursements for Feb. 10, 2025 in the amount of $3,142,139.61 and received routine financial and commission minutes and department reports for the record.
