Council approves consent agenda including watershed plan services and IT security upgrades
Summary
Hawthorne approved a five-item consent agenda (R155-25 through R159-25) covering Hispanic Heritage Day performers (sponsorship-funded), road-program assessment adjustments, pump-station repair purchase order, professional services for a watershed improvement plan, and IT/hardware upgrades to address security and Windows 11 compatibility.
The council approved a consent agenda comprising resolutions R155-25 through R159-25. The items included funding for Hispanic Heritage Day performers (R155-25), an amended assessment for a 2022 road program parcel (R156-25), a purchase order for pump-station repairs (R157-25), authorization for Boswell to prepare phase 1 of a watershed improvement plan (R158-25) required under the borough's stormwater permit, and a late-entry resolution to fund hardware and software updates to address security and Windows 11 compatibility (R159-25).
Administration clarified that the Hispanic Heritage Day performers are paid from sponsorship revenue, not the municipal general fund. Council members questioned whether the PASKAC/IT purchase would include tablets; administration said it would not — the hardware replacement is primarily for server and endpoint equipment nearing end-of-life and for security patching.
Roll-call votes carried for the consent package; the council indicated that the watershed plan authorization and the IT upgrades would move forward as presented.
