Council approves consent agenda including ambulance remount, pool manager hire and sewer item
Summary
At its April 15 meeting the Cannon Falls City Council approved the consent agenda in a single roll-call vote, including authorization of an ambulance remount projected to extend vehicle rotation life, hiring of a 2025 pool manager and approval of a sewer-related item; council discussed potential future ambulance procurement timing.
The Cannon Falls City Council approved its consent agenda on April 15 by a single roll-call motion that included authorization for an ambulance remount project, hiring a 2025 pool manager and approval of a sewer-related item listed on the agenda.
Councilmember Chad Johnson moved to approve the consent agenda; the motion was seconded by Lisa (second from Lisa was recorded). The roll-call vote recorded all members present voting in favor.
Discussion before the consent vote focused on the ambulance remount. Tim (staff member) told council that the remount should extend the ambulance’s service life by about nine years and keep it in rotation; councilmembers noted that lead times for a new ambulance can be lengthy and that the city might consider ordering a new vehicle sooner if procurement timelines lengthen.
Consent items approved as presented (listed on agenda): A) claims for the accounting period ending 04/09/2025; B) meeting minutes for the April 1, 2025 council meeting; C) approval of a sewer item (agenda text spelled as “Coralla/Coralla” — spelling not specified in record); D) hire of Cooper Peterson as 2025 pool manager; E) approval of the ambulance remount project.
Motion: Council moved and carried the omnibus consent motion; no items were pulled for separate discussion. Council directed staff to monitor ambulance procurement lead times and return with timing recommendations if ordering a new vehicle becomes advisable.
Votes at a glance: mover Chad Johnson; second Lisa; unanimous roll-call approval by present members.
No further action on the consent items was taken beyond the approvals included in the omnibus motion.
