Summary
The council approved several consent and action items including acceptance of a DEQ loan (Resolution 25-6), a contract for City Hall reroofing, and equipment lease-purchase agreements with Caterpillar Financial for loaders and skid steers.
At the meeting the council approved a set of formal actions including financing authorization, a building contract and multiple equipment lease-purchase agreements. Below are the items, motions, and recorded outcomes as stated on the record.
Idaho DEQ loan offer (Resolution 25-6): The council adopted Resolution 25-6 authorizing the mayor to execute the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality loan offer of up to $16,500,000 for the city's large water project and authorized the mayor to sign necessary documents. The motion was seconded and approved by recorded roll call.
City Hall reroof contract: The council selected the lowest responsible bidder (identified in the record as UPS and Company) for reroofing McCall City Hall, approved a contract with that firm for new foam insulation and a membrane roof with a 30-year warranty, and authorized the mayor to sign all necessary documents. The motion carried on roll call.
Governmental equipment lease-purchase agreements (Caterpillar/Cat Financial): The council approved multiple equipment leases structured as lease-purchase agreements with Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation (CAP Financial or Cat Financial referenced in staff remarks), including: - A Cat 950 loader lease (resolution number referenced during discussion as 25-04) on a seven-year term with a local buyback/repurchase arrangement described by staff. - A wheeled skid steer lease (resolution 25-02) for the parks/street fleet (five-year term referenced in packet). - A Cat 262 tracked skid steer lease (resolution 25-03) for the parks department (fiscal years 25'to 2029 in the record).
Staff explained these are rent-to-own documents with expected buyout or repurchase arrangements and that Caterpillar participates through a state joint-purchasing agreement that satisfies procurement rules. Council approved the resolutions by roll call in separate motions; each motion carried as recorded.

For the actions where roll calls were read, council members present voted yes; motions were carried and recorded as approved.
