Motion carried on a consent motion by Councilmember Wilmot, seconded by Councilmember Brennan (6-0).

Most procurement items were accepted as the lowest responsive bids or ratifications of emergency repairs. Where staff raised amendments (for example, the GMP for Fire Station 38 and the engine repair amount), the council considered and approved the amendments before final passage.

Motions were generally moved and seconded by councilmembers and approved by unanimous voice vote; the clerk recorded motions and certified the votes.
