Council approves emergency plan, procurement updates, contracts and fleet purchases
Summary
The council unanimously approved a package of routine resolutions and contracts, including adoption of the Chelan County comprehensive emergency plan, procurement‑policy updates, an on‑call transportation engineering services extension, and the purchase and surplus of multiple fleet vehicles.
Leavenworth — The Leavenworth City Council unanimously approved a series of resolutions, contract authorizations and purchases during the meeting, taking a set of mostly routine administrative actions.
Among the items the council approved by voice or hand vote were: an updated council policy resolution (resolution 0‑2‑2026) and a procurement policy update (resolution 0‑3‑2026) aimed at aligning city practice with state guidance; formal acceptance of the Chelan County comprehensive emergency plan (resolution 0‑4‑2026) as presented by county emergency staff; and retrospective confirmation of a prior emergency declaration (resolution 0‑5‑2026) connected to recent storm response.
The council also authorized the mayor to enter an extension of an on‑call professional services agreement with Gardner Group Inc. for transportation engineering services for 2026, with no cost increase noted in the meeting. Separately, the council approved a recommendation to purchase four replacement trucks and one sport‑utility vehicle for the city fleet, for a total presented in the meeting of approximately $211,500, and authorized the surplus and sale of several older vehicles (model years listed in staff materials). Meeting minutes record these motions as passing unanimously on the council’s hands‑up votes.
No contested roll‑call tallies were recorded in the transcript; approvals were announced by the presiding officer after members indicated assent. The minutes and staff packets attached to the meeting (not included in this transcript) contain the full resolution texts, vehicle VINs and the procurement policy redlines referenced during discussion.
The items approved are procedural or administrative: the emergency plan adoption aligns city policy to county and state emergency practices; the procurement update implements auditor and MRSC recommendations; the on‑call agreement continues a previously selected contractor; and the fleet purchases advance an equipment‑replacement schedule noted by staff.
