Council approves consent calendar, tech purchases and two replacement F-150 pickups
Summary
Council approved the consent calendar (technology and service renewals), payment of vouchers, and the purchase of two replacement Ford F-150 pickup trucks; staff said the replaced vehicles will be repurposed or sold and the trucks may be used for newly budgeted ordinance officers.
The Westland City Council approved the consent calendar, authorized payment of vouchers and approved purchase of two replacement Ford F-150 pickup trucks for the Department of Public Service.
The consent calendar included: purchase of 12 Lehi tablets for the fire department (total not to exceed $39,710.90); purchase of 14 Bridgpoint routers for the fire department (total not to exceed $21,984.48); added-service proposals from Sidcak Group for architectural services required for Fire Station Number 2 ($14,100); a bid for professional sprinkler installation services at the Jefferson Barnes Community Vitality Center; renewal/upgrade of the city's VSNA software for special assessment and tax modules for one year; and subscription renewals for CivicRec, CivicPay and document-management services. Council approved the amended consent calendar after moving item G to new business for separate discussion.
Council then approved payment of vouchers on a motion by Councilman Rakowski supported by Councilman Hart.
Separately, council approved the purchase of two replacement F-150 pickup trucks for the Department of Public Service. Council discussed whether the city would trade in the replaced vehicles; Director Smith said, “these 2 are are are not supposed to be traded in. So the prices you see, do not include a trade. So they're either gonna be repurposed within the GPS or they will be, sold. So I don't think the determination has been made yet.” Council also discussed the possibility of using the new trucks for ordinance officers; Director Smith said that was one of the considerations.
The motions passed with no dissent recorded in the meeting transcript. Council asked staff to follow up with details on vehicle selection (Chevrolet Silverado vs. Ford F-150) and to report back when a final decision is made about the disposition of the replaced vehicles.
