Council approves consent agenda, awards Verra Street contract and designates 2704 as surplus

At this meeting Aberdeen City Council handled several routine and action items, approving the consent agenda, voting to authorize lodging-tax grant agreements, awarding a street contract, and designating a city property for sale.

The council voted to approve the consent agenda (minutes from the Jan. 28 meeting, accounts payable and payroll) by voice vote after a motion was made and seconded. Later, a motion to authorize 2026 lodging-tax grant agreements and allow the mayor to sign the grant agreements (including the Intermountain Foundation) was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote.

In public works business the council voted to award the Verra Street construction contract to Mottwood Incorporated; the chair called for the vote and declared the motion passed after a voice 'Aye.' The council also adopted a resolution to accept a recommendation to designate property at 2704 as surplus and allow its sale, again passing the motion by voice vote.

Council considered a resolution to surplus six Daniel Defense patrol rifles from the police department; members discussed potential buyers (federal agencies) and equipment configurations such as shorter barrels and suppressors to protect officers' hearing. The transcript records the discussion but does not show a final recorded vote on that specific resolution.

The meeting closed with a public hearing opened and closed on the annual project list and brief good-of-the-order remarks before adjournment.
