Votes at a glance: Vienna City Council actions, March 13, 2025
Summary
Summary of formal votes taken by the Vienna City Council including contracts, grants, budget actions and appointments from the March 13 meeting.
Below are the formal actions and recorded outcomes from the Vienna City Council meeting on March 13, 2025.
- Nolan Services LLC cleaning contract (bid award): Council accepted a sealed bid from Nolan Services LLC at $6,250 per month to clean various city buildings; council approved the bid and directed a contract to be executed. (Motion passed unanimously.)
- Internal budget revision No. 3: Council approved reallocation of $6,000 (from supplies/training) to building/grounds for a gas-line repair and a $10,000 reallocation from group insurance to materials/supplies/auto supplies (uniforms). (Motion passed unanimously.)
- Agreement with Wood County Economic Development Authority: Council authorized acceptance of a professional services proposal in the amount of $75,000, with direction to the city attorney to draft a formal contract and update outdated property references. (Motion passed unanimously; final contract to be drafted.)
- Appointment / consulting engagement for project development coordinator (Jack Mathers): Council approved engaging Jack Mathers via his LLC under a consulting arrangement with compensation capped at $25,000 per year; council debated subcontractor language and a proposed amendment to limit subcontractor payments failed. (Motion to approve passed; council directed final contract drafting and requested periodic reports.)
- PRO program grant for school resource officer: Council accepted a $15,000 PRO program grant to support the school resource officer at Jackson Middle School and authorized the mayor to execute related documents. (Motion passed unanimously.)
- FY25-26 general fund budget and parks amendments: Council accepted the FY25-26 general fund budget as amended so finance staff could prepare a final balanced budget. Council approved parks-specific reallocations: remove $37,569 flooring item, add $22,447 for three roofing projects and allocate $15,122 for a replacement 25-horsepower tractor. All parks amendments passed unanimously. A motion to cut salaries and benefits by 10% across departments failed for lack of a second.
- Failed and procedural motions: A council motion to amend the consultant contract language to explicitly cap subcontractor expenditures (as proposed by one council member) failed on the floor; a motion to table the appointment was also defeated. A proposed across-the-board salary reduction motion failed to receive a second and thus did not proceed.
Ending: These votes authorize staff to finalize contracts and budget documents in keeping with council direction; where council requested it, staff and the city attorney will return final contract drafts for review before disbursement.
