Council approves budget amendments, fleet and equipment purchases in unanimous votes
Summary
Creve Coeur City Council unanimously approved a final budget amendment and a series of resolutions to buy vehicles, equipment, a police station fence, and software; several first readings and contract extensions were also advanced.
At its regular meeting, the Creve Coeur City Council approved multiple ordinances and resolutions covering final budget adjustments, equipment and vehicle purchases, service‑contract renewals, and engineering agreements.
On unfinished business the council passed Bill 6131 (final reading), an ordinance amending the adopted 2025 general fund budget to authorize an additional appropriation. On new business and resolutions, the council approved a slate of procurement and contract items, including:
- Resolution 1741: Purchase Glock 45 MOS pistols and related equipment from Keesler Police Supply for $58,587.31; Chief Jeff Hartman said the department budgeted $72,000 and the recommended bid was low and compliant. - Resolution 1742: Purchase a 2024 Ford Explorer for police administrative use for $39,860 under the Missouri statewide contract; Chief Hartman said the vehicle is not pursuit‑rated. - Resolution 1743: One‑year extension with Local Cleaners LLC for cleaning services at multiple city buildings at the existing price; Public Works Director Jim Hines recommended exercising the contract extension. - Resolution 1744 & 1745: Purchase of a Ford F‑250 foreman truck ($64,223) and a Ford F‑150 crew cab ($44,954) for public‑works use; staff reported savings relative to budgeted amounts. - Resolution 1746: Purchase of a diesel 20‑cubic‑yard Monster Vac leaf vacuum for $106,672; staff cited better reliability in prior use. - Resolution 1747: Contract with Kirkwood Fence for a 520‑foot, 6‑foot‑tall Ameristar Impasse II security fence at the police station for $219,257; staff noted the FY25 budget was $210,000 and that the selected bid was within market range. - Resolution 1748: Contract with ClearGov for a web‑based capital improvement planning tool and digital budget book with a first‑year cost of $16,986.67. - Resolution 1749 & 1750: Engineering design contracts for watershed and Soma Lane projects with Trepp Design Group (preliminary engineering for several projects) and BACS Engineering for Soma Lane concept designs; both were approved. - Resolution 1751: Three‑year printing contract for the resident newsletter with MCI Printing Inc., $22,660 in year one and $69,339.60 over 36 months; mailing services were recommended separately.
Council approved each of the above resolutions unanimously. Where items were only at first reading (for example Bill 6132 ordering tax rates and Bill 6134 amending the open‑meetings records subsection), the council deferred final action or scheduled a subsequent reading.
Next steps: staff will administer approved contracts and return with any required follow‑up on first‑reading ordinances or deferred second readings.
