Votes at a glance: Redlands council approves consent calendar, contracts and purchase orders
Summary
The City Council approved routine consent items, an amendment to a traffic signal maintenance contract, fiscal‑year purchase orders for municipal utilities, and a water‑meter contract amendment. Most items passed with unanimous votes; the AQMD opposition letter and several other items were considered separately.
At its May 20 meeting the Redlands City Council approved a series of routine and contract items, including the consent calendar and several fiscal and procurement actions. Most were approved with no separate public hearings and passed by recorded roll calls.
Key outcomes:
- Consent calendar: Approved on a motion with no items pulled; recorded roll call votes were all in the affirmative.
- UNEX LLC traffic signal maintenance amendment (Item K‑1): The council approved a first amendment to the existing non‑professional services agreement to expand the contractor’s scope to include on‑call streetlight response, underground utility markings and emergency assistance, increasing compensation by $340,000. Motion carried by recorded roll call.
- MUED annual purchase orders for FY 2025‑26 (Item K‑3): The council approved annual purchase orders not to exceed $4,852,000 (split between water and wastewater funds). Staff described the orders as ongoing consumables, parts and services used across the municipal utilities department.
- Ferguson Enterprises LLC water‑meter replacement amendment (Item K‑4): The council approved a first amendment to the non‑professional services agreement for the citywide water‑meter replacement project, increasing total compensation by about 2.5% to $6,915,828.08. Staff said the city is near project completion (about 95%) and will receive a $2.7 million Bureau of Reclamation refund grant at project close.
The meeting also included multiple public comment periods and other agenda items (see separate articles for the Sylvan Park community garden, AQMD rule opposition letter and the speed‑limit study). There were no reportable closed‑session actions; the city attorney reported three closed‑session items and stated “no reportable action.”
