Summary

At the meeting the council approved a DigiTicket change order to extend an existing license to neighboring agencies, rejected a loader bid because of incorrect specifications, and approved minor green‑fee increases for Purple Sage Municipal Golf Course with a new nonresident rate defined as outside Uinta County.

The Evanston City Council handled several administrative and procurement items in a single session: it approved a DigiTicket change order for the Lyman Police Department, rejected a loader bid after discovering specification errors, and passed a resolution updating golf green fees including a new higher nonresident rate.

Software change order: A representative explained the DigiTicket change order, saying the city had purchased an initial license that allowed neighboring agencies to attach to the license. "These are the cost for the city of Lyman. It does not save us any money nor does it cost us more for them to get under our umbrella," the presenter said, adding the arrangement "saves taxpayers and linemen money, and it's a favor to a brother agency." Council approved the change order by voice vote.

Loader procurement: Public‑works staff reported that attachment specifications (snowplow wings and related items) were incorrect in all three loader bids received, which would materially affect pricing. Staff asked the council to reject the bids and rebid with corrected attachments; the council voted to reject the bids and directed staff to start over with corrected specifications.

Golf fees: Kim Larson of Parks and Recreation presented Resolution 26‑09, which the council approved. Larson said there would be "a slight increase across the board" and explained that nonresidents would be defined as those not living in Uinta County; council members described the advisory board meeting as productive and supported the compromise.

Taken together, the actions adjusted user fees, addressed a procurement error to protect competitive pricing, and extended interagency software licensing under terms described in the meeting. The council approved these items by voice vote; no roll‑call tallies were recorded in the transcript.
