The council also approved a five‑item consent calendar covering procurement for fire equipment repairs, sand and gravel purchases, construction equipment rental, consulting services for the transportation chapter of the Master Plan, and a state contract for networking hardware and services.
Separately, councilors approved continuation and amendment items related to the River Street pump station upgrade and a groundwater monitoring contract with Emery & Garrett Groundwater Investigations LLC, and authorized several sidewalk improvement contracts. Roll call votes were recorded and motions passed as listed in meeting minutes.
Next steps: staff will complete contract amendments, proceed with groundwater testing and sidewalk repairs, and coordinate with the police department for grant administration and reporting.
