The Gilbert Town Council voted 7–0 on Jan. 6 to approve consent-calendar items 4 through 12, covering intergovernmental agreements, construction task orders, and technology contracts.
Key items approved included a five-year intergovernmental agreement with Queen Creek to use Gilbert's reclaimed-water infrastructure (annual operations/maintenance fee $25,000 and $95 per million gallons delivered, rising $2.50 per million gallons each year), a Lumen contract for internet, voice and cloud services not to exceed $2,500,000 over five years, and JLC task orders for traffic-signal/ADA improvements ($233,430) and additional street and utility work (authorization around $5.6 million funded by 2022 transportation bonds and water/wastewater funds).
The council also authorized a $350,485 change order with SDG Group for expanded data-governance initiatives, a $250,000 multiyear agreement with BPG Designs LLC for network cabling, and a Databank IMX augmentation not to exceed $200,163 for enterprise content-management support. Intellus phase 2 PMCM services for street-system improvements ($515,090) were approved under bond funding.
Eugene Mejia, the town's chief information officer, told the council the SDG funds are intended to improve visibility and dashboarding for email retention and analytics without initially altering underlying records. Council asked for a brief staff presentation on item 8 (data governance) before voting; staff answered questions and the consent items were voted as a block.
