Summary
Council voted unanimously to approve consent agenda items 10–17, covering an independent audit contract, a safety footwear services contract, a City Hall construction contract and a design amendment for the City Hall remodel.
The Carrollton City Council unanimously approved consent agenda items 10 through 17 at its April 21 work session, including several procurement and construction contracts.
Dr. Andrew Palacios moved to approve the consent items and Nancy Cline seconded. Mayor Steve Babich called the vote and the motion passed unanimously.
Contracts and approvals on the consent agenda included:
- An authorization for the city manager to enter into an agreement with Forbus Mazars LLP (RFP 26-014) to provide independent audit services for an amount described on the record as not to exceed $150,000 for the fiscal year 2026. Staff noted the firm previously served the city and the assigned partner is familiar with the account. "They do a great job," Melissa Everett said of the auditor.
- Authorization for a contract with Northern Imports/Multi Service Technologies (doing business as Red Wing) under RFP 26-016 to provide safety footwear to employees, described as not to exceed $55,000 annually and $165,000 over three years; staff explained managers issue vouchers redeemable at retail for up to $280 per pair.
- Authorization for a construction contract with Jones Cove General Contractors for City Hall exterior and first- and second-level improvements; the figure referenced in the meeting packet and on the record was about $1.32 million for the work and associated safety/customer-experience enhancements.
- Resolution to amend the McGee Architects contract (amendment #1) for additional design services on the City Hall remodel phase 2 in an amount not to exceed $43,275 (total contract amount described as $293,275) to cover redesign of the reception desk and related safety improvements.
