The Taylor City Council approved a series of routine consent and regular-agenda items at its Feb. 11 meeting, including an extension of the winter 2024 tax payment due date and several vendor purchases and service authorizations.
Under the consent agenda the council extended the due date for winter 2024 taxes to Feb. 28, 2025; the clerk reminded residents that penalties apply if taxes are not paid by that date. The council approved the consent agenda by voice vote.
On the regular agenda the council approved resolution 6.274-24 to increase authority by an additional $25,000 for Priority 1 (funded through the general fund fire department uniform account). The council also awarded low bids and purchase authorizations that included a $2,700 purchase of two Graco SD Series 10 cord reels for Station 3 (Allied Incorporated low bid), a state-bid purchase of a 2025 Ford F-550 chassis for $70,980 (Lung Hammer Ford, funded through capital outlay), and an amendment to resolution 6.304-24 authorizing communications and media expenditures not to exceed $11,400.
The council approved a blanket purchase agreement for an inaugural animal-shelter 5K (amount not to exceed $17,000, funded through the animal shelter donation account) and created a purchase order for MWI Animal Health in the amount of $8,000 funded through contractual services. All items listed on the regular agenda were approved by roll call or voice vote as noted in the meeting record.
All motions brought under these agenda items passed without recorded dissent in the public meeting minutes; the meeting transcript records standard procedure (motion, second, voice or recorded vote) for each item.
