Romulus council approves contracts, ordinances and budget items; introduces engineering fee amendment

Summary

At its Feb. 10 meeting the Romulus City Council approved a contract for election inspector software, awarded a two‑year concrete bid to three vendors, adopted budget and ordinance measures, approved an alley vacation and authorized $1.84 million in warrants. Council also introduced a budget amendment to recognize reimbursable engineering fees.

Romulus City Council on Monday approved a set of contracts, ordinances and budget items and took several routine actions detailed below. Most measures passed with unanimous or near‑unanimous votes; one introduction (a budget amendment for reimbursable engineering fees) was presented for future consideration rather than final adoption.

Why it matters: The approvals affect city operations (election inspector management and concrete procurement), zoning and public‑safety code language, developer‑related processes (alley vacation and commercial redevelopment district), and the city’s near‑term finances (warrants and a dispatcher overtime budget amendment).
