Council approves three items: tech contract with CDW, two annexation actions set and approved
Summary
At its Feb. 19 meeting the Medford City Council approved a three‑year cloud/disaster‑recovery contract with CDW Government Inc. and advanced two annexation matters: a resolution setting a public hearing for a 4.75‑acre annexation and final action on a 61.32‑acre annexation ordinance.
The Medford City Council voted unanimously on Feb. 19 to approve a set of items including a technology contract and two annexation matters.
Council approved a three‑year contract with CDW Government Inc. for a secure cloud platform disaster‑recovery service. The contract amount is $389,335.68. Councilor Kevin Stein moved approval of Council Bill 2025‑13; Nick Card seconded. The roll call vote was 8–0 in favor.
Nut graf: Council handled several routine but consequential items on Feb. 19. The technology contract secures disaster‑recovery services for city IT systems; annexation votes change jurisdiction and zoning for specified parcels and set a hearing schedule for another parcel.
The council also approved a resolution (Council Bill 2025‑14) setting a public hearing for March 19, 2025, and initiating annexation for one lot totaling approximately 4.75 acres at 3868 Springbrook Road (county zone RR‑5). The resolution would change the county zoning to the city’s SFR‑00 single‑family holding zone and remove the property from Rural Fire Protection District No. 2. Nick Card moved the resolution and Kevin Keating seconded; roll call vote was 8–0 in favor.
In a continued quasi‑judicial proceeding, the council approved an annexation ordinance (Council Bill 2025‑10) for one parcel of approximately 61.32 acres east of Cherry Lane and south of Hillcrest Road (the Hansen annexation). The council found the annexation met the applicable annexation criteria, including contiguity, inclusion within the urban growth boundary, and owner consent; the ordinance changes the county’s exclusive farm use zoning to the city’s SFR‑00 holding zone with the exclusive agricultural overlay and removes the property from Rural Fire Protection District No. 2. The motion to approve was moved by Kevin Stein and seconded by Nick Card; roll call was 8–0.
Ending: All three measures passed by unanimous roll calls. The annexation actions include follow‑up steps described in staff reports (wetland/wildlife mitigation and subsequent zone change procedures for the larger Hansen parcel).
