Marysville council approves routine financial items, vehicle outfitting and a scheduling subscription
Summary
At its Dec. 15 meeting the Marysville City Council unanimously approved the consent agenda, three administrative financial motions, a $64,468.49 contract to outfit two patrol Durangos, and a $9,950.84 two-year subscription for scheduling software for the public safety department.
Marysville City Council voted unanimously Dec. 15 to approve routine financial and administrative items, a contract to outfit two new patrol vehicles and a two-year subscription for scheduling software for the public safety department.
The consent agenda, which included approval of the Dec. 1, 2025 meeting minutes and mayoral reappointments to local boards, passed on a motion by Council Member Watson supported by Council Member Badley. The council then unanimously approved check disbursements for Nov. 26 and Dec. 5, 2025, payroll for the Dec. 19 and Jan. 2 pay periods, and the February meeting schedule on separate motions.
The council approved a $64,468.49 contract with Synergy of Troy, Michigan, to outfit two recently purchased Durango patrol vehicles. Chief of Public Safety Matthew Reeves described the outfitting work in detail and said the vehicles are already on the road: “We have them. They’re on the road,” Reeves said, and praised the contractor’s thorough approach to rewiring and rebuilding vehicle interiors.
Council also approved a two-year subscription and associated fees totaling $9,950.84 for PowerTime from PowerDMS of El Segundo, California, to manage scheduling, sick and vacation requests, overtime and related notifications for the public safety department. Reeves told council the vendor will provide a representative to build the program over roughly 90 days and integrate leave tracking with payroll systems. “The time alone it’s gonna save is huge,” Reeves said, noting the city’s current manual processes and reduced administrative staffing.
All motions on the action agenda passed on roll call votes with no opposing or abstaining votes. Where specified, motions and seconds in the minutes are recorded as follows: consent agenda (moved by Council Member Watson; supported by Council Member Badley), check disbursements (moved by Mayor Pro Tem Winston; supported by Council Member Easter), payroll (moved by Council Member Badley; supported by Council Member Shirkey), February schedule (moved by Council Member Dunne; supported by Mayor Pro Tem Winston), vehicle outfitting (moved by Council Member Badley; supported by Council Member Easter), and the PowerTime subscription (moved by Council Member Dunne; supported by Council Member Watson).
Next steps: vendors will complete procurement and implementation tasks per contract timelines; city staff indicated the PowerTime implementation would begin Jan. 1 with a target switch to active use in March after training and data upload.
