Pasadena council approves package of ordinances, contract actions and grant acceptances

The Pasadena City Council on March 4 approved a package of ordinances, contract actions and resolutions covering contract terminations, public works contracts, equipment purchases and grant acceptances.

The council voted to terminate a contract with Informart (formerly Severn Trent Environmental Services Inc.) for operation of two wastewater facilities; to amend a design and construction contract for Perez Road reconstruction; and to authorize administrative planning services for the Community Development Block Grant disaster recovery reallocation program. The council also approved multiple one-year service contract extensions for traffic pavement marking and traffic signal maintenance, a mosquito control contract, the purchase of a 107-foot ladder fire truck and other equipment purchases, and acceptance of state and federal grant awards.

Why it matters: the ordinances and resolutions allocate funds, change contract relationships for city services, and authorize purchases and grants that affect city operations and public safety. Several items fund capital equipment, including a purchase the meeting identified as a Pierce 107-foot ladder truck for $1,685,181, and multiple public-works and operations contracts that set service providers for the coming year.
