Council approves routine minutes, delays police-vehicle ordinances to next reading
Summary
Council approved minutes from 04/20/2026 (Bentley abstained) and left two ordinances authorizing police vehicle purchases and upfitting (Ordinances 202661 and 202662) on second reading pending additional information; a final procedural motion to 'return' passed by roll call.
Council handled routine business and deferred two procurement ordinances related to police fleet replacement.
A motion to approve the minutes of April 20, 2026 passed on roll call with one abstention. The clerk recorded that Mister Bentley abstained; other present members voted yes.
Ordinance 202661, authorizing the purchase of four 2026 Ford police interceptors with trade-in from Montrose Ford, and Ordinance 202662, authorizing purchase of upfitting equipment for those vehicles from Hall Public Safety Upfitters, were both on second reading. After discussion with Chief Perkins and mention of recent storm-related information still pending, the council left both ordinances on second reading for additional information rather than taking final action.
Late in the meeting the council entertained a procedural motion (recorded on the transcript as a "motion to return"), moved by Mister Khan and seconded by Mister Bentley; the motion passed on roll call.
Next steps: Staff will follow up with the police department to supply the outstanding information requested by council before final readings of the vehicle and upfitting ordinances.
