Troy council approves appointments, insurance renewal for volunteer firefighters and consent agenda
Summary
The council unanimously approved multiple mayoral and council appointments, reappointed a member to the Animal Control Appeal Board, renewed group life and accident/sickness coverage for volunteer firefighters with VFIS, and approved the consent agenda. Votes were recorded by roll call and carried unanimously.
Troy City Council took several routine actions Oct. 20, approving mayoral and council appointments, renewing an insurance contract for volunteer firefighters and passing the consent agenda.
Appointments: Mayor Baker moved to appoint Kenny Cozza and Daniel McCleish as in-district members of the Downtown Development Authority for terms expiring Sept. 30, 2029; the motion was supported by Councilmember Chamberlain Kringa and approved by unanimous roll-call vote (Mayor Baker, Councilmembers Brooks, Chamberlain Kringa, Chanda, Mayor Pro Tem Gunn, Hamilton, Hodrick reported yes).
The council also approved a slate of appointments to the Global Troy Advisory Committee with terms expiring Oct. 30, 2026 and Oct. 30, 2028, after a motion by the mayor supported by Councilmember Chanda. The roll call again showed unanimous approval.
Council nominations included the reappointment of Tina Catron to the Animal Control Appeal Board for a term to Sept. 30, 2028; the nomination was moved by Mayor Pro Tem Gunn, supported by Councilmember Chamberlain, and approved unanimously.
Insurance contract renewal: Fire Chief Pete Hollander said the city previously contracted with Volunteer Fireman's Insurance Services (VFIS) after the city's benefits consultant, Gallagher Benefit Services, evaluated options. The city purchased a group term life policy and an accident-and-sickness policy for volunteer firefighters; Hollander presented the contract renewal and council approved it after a motion to adopt the resolution. The vote was unanimous.
Consent agenda: Councilmember Hamilton moved approval of all items on the consent agenda, supported by Councilmember Hodrick; the motion carried without opposition.
All motions recorded in the meeting were approved by roll call with the same list of council members indicating yes during votes.
