Finance committee moves IT contract and two police SUVs onto council agenda as emergencies
Summary
Finance committee voted to place a three‑year IT services contract with Blue Technologies and a request to order two Ford utility interceptors on the full council agenda as emergency items to secure pricing and procurement slots.
The finance committee moved two items to the full Seven Hills City Council agenda as emergencies: a three‑year IT services contract with Blue Technologies and a request to purchase two Ford utility interceptor police vehicles.
Director Jen Berger told the committee the city switched to Blue Technologies and praised their cybersecurity support. She said the contract’s price is "locked in for 3 years" and that "the price for next year would be $89,148." The committee chair moved to put the Blue Technologies contract on the full council agenda; Kelly seconded and the committee approved the placement by roll call.
Chief Saloom asked the committee to approve ordering two police vehicles this year to get earlier placement in vendor queues, saying the total cost for two vehicles is $89,800. Council members remarked the purchase keeps the department’s fleet in working condition and helps avoid supply‑chain delays. The finance committee moved the police vehicle purchase onto the agenda as an emergency and recorded roll‑call support.
The committee flagged procurement timing and state bidding as reasons to act quickly; Mayor Biaseata noted the city uses state bidding to obtain competitive pricing.
