Summary
Council authorized advertising for sale of used vehicles, approved a two‑year Hoffman Kennels animal control contract, advertised salary and tax ordinances, passed a budget amendment, and approved three subdivisions and three Act 537 planning-module resolutions.
Council handled multiple action items in the meeting after workshop and public comment.
Vehicle sales and contracts: Council authorized staff to advertise bids for sale of used municipal vehicles, including plows, F-series trucks and decommissioned police cars, with authorization motioned and approved unanimously. Public Works Director requested a rolling authorization so vehicles can be sold as new units arrive.
Hoffman Kennels contract: Council approved a two-year agreement with Hoffman Kennels for animal control services covering the period described in the motion. During roll call the motion passed; one member noted a past personal objection citing a dog-mistreatment incident but the contract approval carried.
