The Trenton City Council voted unanimously Nov. 24 to approve multiple routine contracts and fiscal items included on the agenda.
The council approved a proposal from BDS Environmental to test and abate asbestos at the former VFW Post 1888 in the amount of $48,200 after vetting by the city's contract manager. "This is for the VFW post, 1888," a city administrator said while asking the council to move and support the proposal; council recorded the motion as unanimously ordered.
On capital work at the Westfield Center, the Parks & Recreation Director recommended awarding the lighting replacement contract to LMC Electric, the lowest qualified bidder, for $39,891.51 and requested authorization to spend up to $55,000 to add additional lighting and electrical outlets if necessary. Council moved, supported and unanimously approved the award and the additional spending authorization.
Council also received and placed on file a report of fines, costs and fees from the 30th District Court showing the city received $12,001.45, approved the 2026 court budget for Jan. 1–Dec. 31, 2026, and approved authorized disbursements on 11/24/2025 totaling $3,429,164. All motions recorded in the transcript were moved, supported and noted as "unanimously so ordered."
