Hamilton council approves routine purchases, appointments and repairs in consent business
Summary
Council approved minutes, an appointments resolution, stadium lighting and sewer-plant pipe installation, and authorized HVAC repairs for the police department; election date and polling place also announced.
Hamilton City Council approved several routine agenda items, including minutes, an appointments resolution for upcoming municipal elections, purchases for park lighting and sewer-plant repairs, and HVAC work at the police department, according to the meeting transcript.
Council approved the meeting minutes after a motion from Councilmember Ross and a second from Councilmember Sherry. The council then passed a resolution (referred to in transcript as “Resolution 20 20 five-seven-twenty 1”) to appoint election officials for the municipal election; Councilmember Scott made the motion and the council approved it after a second.
Other approved items on the record include:
- Purchase and installation of additional lighting on the Buddy Hatcher River Sports practice field: cost $31,500; vendor identified as Boostco Sporting Lighting; fixtures will attach to existing towers rather than require new poles.
- Installation of 304 stainless steel pipe at the Hamilton wastewater/sewer plant: vendor Big Wave Construction; stated cost $50,000; described as replacement to prevent internal corrosion.
- HVAC replacement/repair at Old City Hall/police department to relocate an air handler and replace a failed unit: lowest quoted vendor Nix Heating and Cooling with a bid of $11,300; council amended the agenda to add the item and approved the expenditure.
The council also confirmed the municipal election date as Aug. 26 with the recreation center designated as the polling place.
For each of these items the transcript records motions and seconds; some are recorded as passed by voice vote. The transcript does not include roll-call vote tallies for the listed consent items.
No major policy changes or new programs were adopted in these items; they were presented as recommendations to approve purchases, repairs or appointments and were approved during the meeting, per the transcript.
