Council delays then reintroduces $17,000 change order for new fire headquarters; re-vote passes
Summary
Council debated Change Order No. 10 (about $17,000) for the new fire department headquarters. An initial vote failed, members reintroduced the motion, and the re-vote passed by roll call after discussion about timing and reintroduction procedures.
Council considered Resolution 2026-122, a change order (No. 10) for the new fire department headquarters, described in discussion as roughly $17,000. The first motion on the change order was defeated after several members voted no. Mayor Moore said that a no vote would allow the council to bring the item back and suggested reintroducing the motion to allow further consideration.
The city attorney confirmed the procedural option to reintroduce the item. Councilor Moore and other members discussed timing and whether the item could be brought up later the same night or at a future meeting. After a motion to reintroduce the change order was made and seconded, the council held a second roll-call vote. The reintroduced motion passed with recorded votes (Bez Anderson and Chapman voting yes, Deputy Mayor Quinn voting no, Mayor Moore voting yes), resulting in final approval by the majority of members present.
Council members framed the discussion as a close-to-completion construction item and debated whether to delay for additional review. Mayor Moore said he voted no initially to permit the option of bringing the matter back for reconsideration but then supported reintroduction to move the project forward. No dollar figure beyond the approximate $17,000 referenced in discussion was entered into the meeting record for independent verification.
