Bradford council approves pension amendment, multiple contracts, park improvements and land subdivision
Summary
At its meeting, the Bradford City Council adopted an ordinance amending the nonuniform employees pension plan and approved a series of procurement and administrative items including landscaping contracts, park amenities, demolition and a land subdivision; most items were approved by roll call without extended discussion.
The Bradford City Council moved through a slate of administrative and procurement items, approving an ordinance to amend the nonuniform employees pension plan and a series of vendor contracts, project authorizations and a land subdivision during its meeting.
The council adopted Ordinance (general file number 3165.28), described in the meeting as "an ordinance of the city of Bradford, McKean County, Pennsylvania, amending the nonuniform employees pension plan that clarify pension pension contributions." The ordinance was introduced, moved, seconded and approved by roll call.
Council members then approved a sequence of accounts and finance items and project authorizations, including appointments required by state law, vendor payments and quotes for services for parks and downtown streetscape work. Items the council approved included an appointment of a delegate and alternate for tax-collection compliance (Act 32), multiple vendor payments and purchase approvals, authorization to execute an emergency ambulance service agreement with Keating Township, acceptance of landscaping and streetscape proposals, purchase of a drinking fountain for Callahan Park, purchase of park benches and receptacles for Kellyanne Park, authorization to advertise for bids for Callahan Park Improvement Project Phase 2, demolition and related CD work for properties including 188 East Main Street and 40 Walker Avenue, and approval of a subdivision on the south side of West Washington Street between Harding Avenue and Hopson Place.
Most items were moved and seconded on the council floor and carried by roll call; the transcript records affirmative "yes" votes but does not list a complete, recorded roll-call tally by member for each motion in the public excerpt.
No substantive debate or amendment of the ordinance or the listed procurement items is recorded in the public portion of the transcript; the council proceeded through the agenda items in sequence and concluded with a motion to adjourn.
