Council approves Broad Street Market lease extension, mainframe contract and several intergovernmental agreements
Summary
Council voted to approve a package of resolutions including the Broad Street Market lease extension, a mainframe support contract, an intergovernmental waste-services agreement, a salt MOU with the school district, a recycling contract renewal, and adoption of the Dauphin County emergency operations plan.
Harrisburg City Council approved a set of resolutions Dec. 23 that the administration and relevant departments presented on the meeting agenda.
Key votes included: - Resolution 86 (mainframe services): authorized a professional services contract with Steve Zimmerman to support the citys historical mainframe and data exports; Council voted 7-0 after IT Director Steve Boartner explained an hourly rate increase to $115 and anticipated the need for full-year support in 2026 and part of 2027. - Resolution 89 (Broad Street Market lease extension): approved extending the Broad Street Market lease and management agreement through Dec. 2026 so a Commonwealth renovation grant for the stone building can proceed; Solicitor Grover explained the grant requires a full-year lease and engineers were evaluating a wall collapse reported earlier that day. - Resolution 90 (salt MOU): approved a memorandum of understanding with the Harrisburg School District to provide salt at $125 per ton for the 2025-26 winter season (passed 7-0). - Resolution 91 (recycling services): renewed a services agreement with Penn Waste Inc. to continue single-stream recycling disposal (passed unanimously). - Resolution 92 (emergency operations plan): adopted Dauphin Countys 2025 Emergency Operations Plan as the citys official EOP, enabling certain funding flows and aligning county, state and local response plans (passed 7-0).
Resolution 74 (333 Market Street land development) was considered and passed during the meeting; the clerk and chair recorded an initial tally, asked for clarification, and the meeting record includes a clarification by staff on the final tally as pronounced by the clerk. Council members sought clarity on third-party involvement in that land-development proposal prior to their votes.
Solicitor Grover and department directors answered technical questions as members requested. Several resolutions were forwarded from committee after brief presentations and were passed on the floor with recorded roll-call votes.
