The Quincy City Council during its meeting adopted multiple ordinances and resolutions on zoning, traffic code changes, airport procurement and routine municipal matters. Key actions included:
- Airport roof project: The council rejected a $2,115,602 bid from Lavadier Construction for the Quincy Regional Airport roof replacement and directed the project be redesigned and rebid at a later date.
- USDA wildlife management: The council approved a three-year agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture for wildlife management services at the airport for $45,000, covering April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2028. Roll call recorded 12 ayes, 1 nay and 1 absent.
- Rezoning and subdivision referrals: The council sent a petition from Otis Company to rezone 504 North 54th Street (RU1 to C2) to the plan commission and separately referred a small-tract subdivision request for the same property to the plan commission.
- Rezoning adoption: The council adopted an ordinance rezoning three parcels at 1900, 1910 and 1920 North 18th Street from light industrial (M1) to single-family residential (R1C).
- Traffic code and parking changes: The council adopted several traffic-code amendments, including expanded impound/towing authority, removal of a fire lane (amended to specify the west side of Third Street), and multiple no-parking additions on Third Street and Vermont Street. Those ordinances were adopted by roll call votes, with recorded tallies showing passage (most recorded as 13 ayes, 1 absent).
- Traffic control equipment purchase: A quote of $10,521.20 from Traffic Safety Warehouse (Deerfield, Illinois) for traffic control equipment was tabled for one week so staff could provide additional details on which signal(s) are affected.
- Other routine approvals: The council approved a raffle permit for the American Businesswomen's Association, received and filed sales tax and home-rule sales tax reports for October 2024, and instructed staff to continue review of a budget amendment that was amended and set for a vote next week.
