Loading...
Summary
The council approved a four-year website services renewal to add ADA features with vendor Revise, approved a $48,000-a-year Drop Collaborative contract for pretreatment implementation through the consent agenda, and confirmed Dennis Jarman to the Jacksonville Airport Authority (term through 03/09/2028).
The Jacksonville City Council approved a package of administrative and utility items during its meeting, including a renewal for the city's website services to add ADA accessibility features, a utility contract for pretreatment-program assistance, and an appointment to the Jacksonville Airport Authority.
City Clerk (reading the resolution) described competing quotes: Civic Plus offered services at about $17,000 per year while the vendor Revise proposed like-for-like services at roughly $5,200 per year. "A renewal agreement is on tonight's agenda for approval at a cost of 10,800 for 2026 up to 11,500 for 2029," the clerk said. The council voted on the resolution by roll call; the recorded responses in the roll were affirmative and the motion carried.
Under the Utility Committee report, Alderman Pollock noted the committee recommended approving a contract with Drop Collaborative to assist with implementing the city's pretreatment program. The contract amount was described as $48,000 per year; Pollock said the cost could be covered by funds left over from the Myrtle Street main replacement project. That item was included on the consent agenda and passed with the other consent items.
During the mayor's report the mayor presented the appointment of Dennis Jarman to the Jacksonville Airport Authority to fill a term expiring March 9, 2028, replacing the retired Bob Zipperich. The appointment was moved, seconded and confirmed by voice vote.
The consent agenda also included the City Treasurer's Report for March 31, 2026 and one additional utility payments authorization; no council member requested any consent item be pulled for separate discussion, and the consent agenda passed by roll call.
The meeting record shows the council handled these items as routine approvals; where roll-call vote language was used the clerk recorded affirmative responses for the listed members and announced "motion carries."
