Sunbury City Council records multiple motions: vehicle sales, appointments, budget approvals
Summary
The Sunbury City Council approved several routine motions including appointing a climate-control representative, listing two surplus police vehicles on Municibid with set reserve prices, reappointing a hard-board member, and approving abstracts and vouchers. Council also moved the first reading of a fee ordinance and supported a USDA grant application.
Sunbury City Council on an evening meeting approved a string of routine motions covering appointments, surplus-vehicle sales and fiscal approvals.
The council formally nominated Jeff as the city’s climate-control representative after discussion about replacing the former city administrator’s representative; the nomination was made from the presiding officer and received a second and voice assent from council members.
The council also authorized listing two surplus police vehicles on Municibid. Chief Slack recommended a 2020 Ford Explorer with a reserve price of $16,000 and a 2013 Ford Police Interceptor with a reserve of $7,000; the council moved and seconded a motion to add the vehicles to Municibid at those reserve prices.
Council reappointed Coney McCollum to the hard board by motion and voice assent.
In financial business, the council moved to approve abstracts and vouchers with these amounts: General Fund $117,848.68 (less a $500 deduction discussed in the meeting), Liquid Fuels $48,523.49 and Payroll $67,080.15. The motion received a second and members were polled; recorded votes included Drew and Ramos voting yes and one member registered a no vote.
The presiding officer also moved for the first reading of a new fee ordinance; councilmembers provided assent to take the ordinance to first reading. Several other motions with procedural outcomes — including a motion to remove the eRx program because vendor support ended, a motion to purchase a replacement sign-making machine, and a motion to amend a standard contract to add insurance and licensing clauses — were introduced and advanced with council agreement.
Next steps: the fee ordinance will return for subsequent readings as required by council procedure; listed vehicles will be posted for auction with the stated reserves; and financial approvals and appointments are effective per standard municipal practice.
