Fairfield council ratifies contracts and budget items including Itron maintenance and sheep-barn bid
Loading...
Summary
The council approved a set of routine administrative actions — renewing an Itron software maintenance agreement, continuing an annual backhoe lease, and ratifying a $35,000 bid for sheep-barn disassembly — and voted to pay city bills before adjourning.
Fairfield City Council members on Jan. 14 approved several administrative and procurement actions on the consent and general-agenda items, including a software-maintenance renewal for the water-meter system, a capital-equipment lease renewal and the award of a public-works bid.
The council voted to accept the consent agenda (minutes and a rental/property utility permission form) on a motion by Council Member Peterson and a second by Council Member Singleton; the motion carried.
On a separate motion, the council approved a renewal of the Itron software maintenance agreement for the meter-reading system. Council discussion identified the line-item cost; the motion to accept the maintenance-value increase for Itron of $5,604.06 was made by Council Member Stottler and seconded by Council Member Peterson, and the council voted to approve the expenditure.
Council then ratified the award of the sheep-barn disassembly and relocation contract to Wynn Construction LLC. Staff read bids; Wynn Construction’s net awarded amount was recorded at $35,000 after a trade-credit adjustment for labor in the bid. Council Member Peterson moved to ratify the award; a second was recorded and the motion carried.
The council also approved continuing the annual backhoe lease for $11,500 on a motion by Council Member Stottler with a second from Council Member Singleton.
Votes at a glance: Itron maintenance renewal — approved (motion by Stottler; second by Peterson; value $5,604.06). Sheep-barn bid ratification — approved (award to Wynn Construction LLC; bid $35,000). Backhoe lease renewal — approved ($11,500 annually). The council later voted to pay the city bills and adjourned the meeting.
Why it matters: These approvals authorize routine spending and contract execution that support municipal services (meter reading, public works equipment and fairgrounds facilities). The sheep-barn award supports relocation work intended to clear the site for further facility activity.
Next steps: Contract documents, budgeting adjustments and vendor notices will be completed by city staff; procurement and budget execution will proceed according to standard administrative processes.
