Belleville council approves contracts and ordinances, tables sewage agreement for April 6
Summary
Council approved multiple procurement contracts and three ordinances, including a sewer camera purchase and a $33,000 playground contract; the council tabled an updated sewage intergovernmental agreement with St. Clair Township until April 6.
The Belleville City Council approved a package of routine procurement items, contracts and three ordinances and voted to table an updated intergovernmental sewage agreement with St. Clair Township until the council's April 6 meeting.
Major procurement and contract items approved included: a $594,495 purchase of a 2026 Ford E450 equipped with a CUS Inc. sewer inspection camera system via Sourcewell from EJ Equipment (master sewer committee motion), a $33,000 contract with Lake Contracting Inc. to install a playground at Ladderman Park using TIF 3 and DCO grant funds, and a contract renewal with FOIA vendor CivicPlus for $7,544.88 for the police department. Council also authorized handicap parking on North Street and a bus shelter at 1500 West Main as recommended by the traffic and parking committee.
Council considered police and fire procurement items together, including a request to waive formal bidding for the purchase of a Rosenbauer aerial fire truck through Sourcewell. The dollar figure read into the record for the truck purchase and several other amounts were garbled in the transcript and are not specified in the meeting record excerpt; council approved the procurement items as presented.
On the master sewer agenda, the council approved the sale and conversion of a 2011 Ford Ranger (VIN ending 04902) and approved the sewer camera-equipped E450 purchase. Separately, the council voted to table the updated intergovernmental agreement for sewage services with St. Clair Township until the April 6 council meeting to allow additional review.
The council also read three ordinances by title — Ordinance 9472 (zoning matter related to Walter Harris), Ordinance 9473 (amendments to the traffic and parking code, chapter 76), and Ordinance 9474 (authorizing the sale and conversion of the 2011 Ford Ranger at the wastewater treatment plant) — and the motions carried on roll-call votes.
These items were handled mostly as consent or committee motions with limited debate; no public comments were recorded on these topics at the meeting. Council adjourned at the end of the agenda.
