Committee approves consent agenda items including library contract, equipment leases and multiple ordinances
Summary
The committee placed a large consent agenda, approving procurement, contract renewals, street-closure and appointment items including a $900,000 Lincoln Library contract and multiple public-works and utility contracts.
At the Feb. 10 meeting the Committee of the Whole placed a broad consent agenda and moved a series of ordinances and contracts forward without extended debate. Items placed on consent included procurement and contract actions, a street-closure resolution for the St. Patrick's Day parade, an annexation agreement, right-of-way vacation for Springfield Public Schools, multiple workers' compensation settlements and a multi-year pharmacy management contract.
Notable consent items read into the record included:
- CWLP item '20 26 0 4 2' — contract for water meters with Midwest Meter Inc. and United Systems and Software Inc., $648,073.80 (Office of Public Utilities). - '20 26 0 4 4' — renewal with Evans Cartridge and Landscaping Disposal Services, up to $2,555,729 (Public Works). - '2026045' — temporary street closures for the St. Patrick's Day parade on 03/14/2026. - 'UE26-26' — lease of a wheel loader with Roland Machinery, not to exceed $505,565.40 (Public Utilities). - '20 26 0 5 8' — Lincoln Library contract with Ingram Library Services LLC, not to exceed $900,000 for books and materials. - '2026053' — pharmacy management services contract with Carmark PSC LLC, not to exceed $34,500,000 for 03/01/2026–02/28/2030. - '20 26 0 5 1' and '20 26 0 5 2' — workers' compensation settlement payments to Matthew Fuchs ($65,370) and Alfred Todd Hazelwood ($72,536.70).
Each item was read by the clerk, moved and seconded; where aldermen asked questions those items were pulled for discussion (notably the annual appropriation), but most consent items were advanced without extended debate and placed on the consent calendar for final council consideration.
