The St. Joseph City Council approved its consent agenda, which included a range of ordinances, contract awards and budget amendments spanning parks, public works, public safety equipment and planning items.
Notable items read by the clerk included: an amendment to Fairview Golf Course fees and memberships; a contract with Shelter Love for pet adoption software; final plat approval for the Country Lane Estates subdivision (14 lots); a lump-sum contract with Lawhon Construction Co. for the Phil Welch structural improvements project and a capital amendment for Hyde Park Aquatics phase 2; a professional services agreement with GeoComm Inc. for GIS remediation and NextGen 9-1-1 mapping; authorization to purchase body armor for police officers; and a housing rehabilitation contract in a not-to-exceed amount of roughly $25,272.50.
The clerk also read an item authorizing an execution of change order number 1 with Mcon LLC for the City sanitary landfill cell 8 emergency excavation project; the amount was read in the meeting as $23,033,018.28. Several master on-call agreements for construction and sewer repairs were listed with per-agreement not-to-exceed amounts in the $75,000 range. The consent agenda was approved on an 8–0 recorded voice vote as announced by the presiding officer.
Several of the numeric values in the clerk’s reading contained formatting or transcription anomalies in the meeting record (for example, a figure read as “29554.56¢” for a protective-gear purchase). The council’s approval of the consent agenda was procedural; individual items can be pulled for later discussion or review per council rules.
