Parker council accepts donations, makes committee and board appointments, and closes engineering RFQ
Summary
At its June 3 meeting the Parker City Council unanimously accepted donations from the Parker Women’s Club, appointed council members to the investment committee and a resident to the zoning board of adjustment, and voted to discontinue the city engineering RFQ process and forward responses to the municipal engineer.
The Parker City Council on June 3 voted unanimously on several routine and administrative items, including accepting donations from the Parker Women’s Club, appointing members to the city’s investment committee, naming an alternate to the zoning board of adjustment, and discontinuing an open engineering RFQ process.
The council accepted three donations from the Parker Women’s Club totaling $2,689 to support public safety and parks: $1,365 for five armor vests for the police department, $724 for an office printer and chairs for the fire department, and $600 allocated to Parks and Recreation for Parker Fest. The motion to accept the donations passed 5-0 after a motion and second; the mayor said staff would ensure the checks were delivered.
Council then approved Resolution 2025-847 to appoint two council members to the city’s investment committee for the 2025–26 term. Daryl Sharp and Mayor Pro Tem Buddy Pilgrim were appointed; the council confirmed both appointments by voice vote 5-0. Council members were told each appointee must take the required 10-hour public finance course within the first 12 months of service.
On a separate appointment, Susan Medrano was appointed to the Zoning Board of Adjustment as Alternate No. 2 by a 5-0 vote.
The council also voted 5-0 to discontinue review of an open engineering request-for-qualifications (RFQ) process that had produced 29 responses and had been outstanding for more than a year. The council directed staff to notify all firms that applied and to forward the submissions to the city’s municipal engineer so the municipal engineer would have them as a resource if needed.
All motions noted above were adopted by a 5-0 vote where a tally was recorded. No formal dissenting votes or abstentions were recorded on the items listed in this summary.
