Bedford council unanimously approves consent agenda including public-safety supplies contract and H‑E‑B Reads MOU
Summary
City Manager Andrea Rollie presented consent items including a one-year master cooperative agreement (with two one-year renewals) for public-safety and firehouse supplies — up to $161,000 annually — and a memorandum of understanding for the H‑E‑B Reads literacy initiative; the council approved the consent agenda unanimously.
City Manager Andrea Rollie summarized the consent agenda at the April 14 meeting and asked the council to approve a set of routine items, including minutes from March 24 and two substantive items.
Rollie described a resolution authorizing the city manager to enter a one-year agreement (with two one-year renewal options) through a master cooperative purchasing agreement to buy public safety and firehouse supplies from multiple vendors for an annual amount not to exceed $161,000 and a total not to exceed $483,000 if all renewals are exercised. Funding for the contract will come from the police and fire operating budgets in the general fund.
Rollie also described a proposed memorandum of understanding among the cities of Hurst, Euless and Bedford and the H‑E‑B Independent School District to formalize the H‑E‑B Reads initiative that promotes literacy; the MOU does not include a specific dollar amount and instead outlines shared responsibilities and cost-sharing processes.
On a motion to approve the consent agenda the council voted unanimously. The meeting record shows the consent motion was moved and seconded and carried without dissent. No council discussion was recorded beyond Rollie’s presentation.
