Riverdale Council approves towing contract, personnel ADA policy, budget and related resolutions
Summary
The Riverdale City Council approved multiple resolutions including a towing contract renewal, an ADA personnel policy, an interfund transfer related to water, adoption of the county’s certified tax rate (subject to final county figures) and the fiscal year 2026 budget.
Riverdale City Council approved a series of motions and resolutions during the meeting, taking action on contracting, personnel policy, interfund transfers, the certified property‑tax rate and the fiscal year 2026 budget.
The council unanimously approved Resolution 2025‑25 renewing the exclusive nonconsent towing services agreement with Stauffer Stouffer's Stauffer Towing (15‑year partner). Police and public‑safety presenters emphasized rapid response and cooperation with fire and emergency services. Chief Warren and a representative from the towing company described joint training and rapid on‑scene service; the council voted to renew the contract unanimously.
Councilors also approved Resolution 2025‑24 adding Personnel Policy 9‑20 (Americans with Disabilities Act accommodations) to the personnel policy handbook. Staff said the policy formalizes a consistent process for requesting and reviewing reasonable accommodations to comply with federal and state law; Councilor Hansen had requested and staff incorporated technical amendments discussed at the work session. The resolution passed unanimously.
The council opened and closed a public hearing on a nonreciprocal interfund transfer related to water‑fund resources and then adopted Resolution 2025‑21 approving the transfer. Staff described the item as an accounting transfer to reflect water utilization by the general fund; there were no public comments and the resolution passed unanimously.
Council adopted the certified property‑tax rate resolution (2025‑22) after staff noted the county had revised the certified rate multiple times while state and county audits were ongoing. The council approved the rate as provided by the county’s most recent update and instructed staff to reconcile revenues to whichever certified rate the county ultimately finalizes. The measure passed unanimously.
Finally, the council adopted Resolution 2025‑23, the fiscal year 2026 budget for Riverdale City (07/01/2025–06/30/2026), including salary schedules and property‑tax revenue estimates as reported by the county; the budget passed unanimously with the caveat that certified‑rate revenue figures will be adjusted to match the county’s final certified rate.
Consent items included approval of the June 3, 2025 work session and council meeting minutes.
