Portage Board nominates Jeremiah Montgomery to Plan Commission; approves towing and city-engineer contracts
Loading...
Summary
The board approved the appointment of Jeremiah Montgomery to the Plan Commission and renewed towing agreements with Precision Towing and Portage Towing; it also approved a city engineer service agreement with Schneider Geomatics following review.
The Portage Board of Works voted to appoint Jeremiah Montgomery to serve as the city’s representative on the Plan Commission and approved a package of routine municipal contracts, including annual towing agreements and the city engineer services contract.
The chair noted that Denise Little, the prior representative, stepped down from the Plan Commission and recommended Jeremiah Montgomery, describing him as "someone very involved in our community." An unidentified board member moved to approve the appointment, a second was recorded, and the motion passed by voice vote.
On towing, the police chief said the proposal was "pretty much the same thing as last year" and asked to continue agreements with Precision Towing and Portage Towing, citing standard fees and a rotating call list. The board approved continuing both agreements by voice vote.
Regarding city engineering services, the chair said the agreement largely mirrors the prior contract with Great Lakes, which the transcript indicates was purchased by Schneider; the city's legal reviewer stated, "I have reviewed. There's no legal objection." The board approved the city-engineer service agreement by voice vote.
What’s next: Montgomery will be seated as the Plan Commission representative; contracting staff will finalize the renewed agreements with the towing companies and Schneider Geomatics.
