Council ratifies small purchases, approves New Year’s Eve sponsorship and warrants
Summary
The council ratified a small equipment purchase, approved a $5,000 New Year’s Eve sponsorship, and approved warrants; staff also reviewed park grant options and sidewalk follow-ups.
At the meeting council ratified a recent emergency purchase for a backup system to save about $3,000 and formalized payment of $93.72 for shipping and related costs. Speaker 2 said the purchase had been made to take advantage of a Black Friday deal; the council ratified the earlier action by voice vote.
Council then approved a $5,000 sponsorship for the city’s New Year’s Eve celebration, which Speaker 2 said will include a lion dance and a band. The motion was made, seconded and carried by voice vote.
Council also discussed park and sidewalk projects: staff reported estimates for a town park and recommended pursuing the Land and Water Conservation grant with a January 15 application deadline. Members identified a contact named Evan Isch who has worked with other communities on grants and asked staff to coordinate and report back on who will lead the application.
The council approved warrants after a motion by Jerry and a second by Cam; the motion carried by voice vote. The council briefly convened its LBA meeting (no business) and adjourned both meetings.
The meeting record does not show roll-call vote tallies for these items; all votes reported in the transcript were voice votes recorded as "Aye."
