Rawlins council approves payroll, accounts payable, bank designations and grant match; ratifies vehicle bid
Summary
At its November meeting the Rawlins City Council approved payroll and accounts payable registers, designated three public depositories for 2022, authorized a $12,500 city match for a Wyoming Business Council planning grant, and ratified purchase of an animal-control truck by vote.
The Rawlins City Council on [Nov. 2021 meeting] approved a set of routine and budgeted items including payroll, accounts payable, bank designations, a grant match and a vehicle procurement.
Payroll and accounts payable: Council approved the payroll register for the pay period 10/24/2021–11/06/2021 totaling $307,292.21 and an accounts payable ledger for 10/20/2021–11/09/2021 totaling $278,356.94. Both measures passed by online vote with six ayes.
Bank depositories: The council adopted a resolution designating Bank of Commerce, Bank of the West, and RNB State Bank as public depositories for city funds for calendar year 2022. The motion passed in online voting with six yays.
Grant match for economic development planning: The council approved applying for the Wyoming Business Council’s business-ready community economic development planning grant and allocated $12,500 from the strategic planning fund as the required 25% cash match. Staff said the work would support strategic economic goals identified in the city’s 2021 strategic plan.
Vehicle procurement: Council ratified the purchase of a budgeted animal-control replacement truck for $35,358 from a Casper dealership. Staff explained that two Ford dealerships submitted bids and that accepting the lower bid before Ford’s government-bid cutoff avoided a substantially higher cost; the purchase was ratified by council vote.
Process notes: Most votes were handled via the city’s online-voting procedure; legal counsel explained the purchasing authority of the city manager and the distinction between administrative purchases and council ratification on larger procurements.
