Loading...
Summary
On Nov. 17 the council approved on consent a three‑year sole‑source renewal for police legal advisory services, a three‑year extension for the Alley Brothers uniform contract (3% single increase), SilverSneakers pricing changes with Tivity Health, purchase of John Deere equipment ($99,602.15), and the proposed 2026 meeting schedule.
Several items on the study session consent calendar were approved with no objections.
Item 1: The council approved a three‑year extension to the Alley Brothers Inc. contract to provide police uniforms with a single 3% increase and a waiver of the sealed‑bid process. Staff said Alley Brothers has supplied uniforms to the police department since the mid‑1990s.
Item 2: The council approved a sole‑source renewal for professional services with Brett Numchuff of the Michigan Police Legal Advisory Group for three years. Tom Guralski (police) said Numchuff provides policy updates and training that have benefited accreditation and day‑to‑day operations; the department expects partial grant support for the contract.
Item 6: Parks and Recreation renegotiated the SilverSneakers agreement with Tivity Health, raising the per‑visit fee from $2.50 to $3.25 and the monthly cap from $20 to $26; the three‑year agreement would run through April 30, 2029. A resident requested broader access hours for beneficiaries.
Item 8: The DPW sought, and received, approval to purchase two John Deere Gators and one utility tractor for spring 2026 fleet replacement at a total cost of $99,602.15 using MiDEAL pricing and budgeted 2026 funds.
Item 9: The proposed 2026 meeting schedule was offered for approval consistent with the Open Meetings Act (1976 PA 267).
These items were taken on consent and will be finalized at the Dec. 3 voting meeting where required.
