Lake Forest council approves 11‑item omnibus including vehicle purchases and festival contract
Summary
By roll call the council approved an 11‑item omnibus package that included approval of meeting minutes, the city check register, vendor and insurance selections, several vehicle purchases (totaling roughly $325,000 for chassis and dump body plus additional vehicle purchases), and a festival logistics services contract not to exceed $95,000.
The Lake Forest City Council on May 4 approved an 11‑item omnibus package by roll call, covering routine minutes and financial items and several procurement actions.
The omnibus included approval of the April 20 meeting minutes and the check register for March 28–April 24; selection of Benastar as the city’s Medicare supplement and Part D plan vendor; a 12‑month renewal agreement with BCM 1 Incorporated for SIP telecommunication services (estimated $34,100); purchase approvals for a recycling truck (approximately $48,759), a replacement dump‑truck chassis and dump body (combined listed cost about $325,000), two water and sewer vehicles ($135,500 with a $6,500 trade‑in) and other routine equipment; and authorization to waive bidding and execute an agreement with CRSEM LLC for festival logistical services and fireworks for the July 4 event, not to exceed $95,000.
Council asked for item 4 (an ordinance amending liquor‑license classes) to be taken as amended, and the record shows the omnibus passed by roll call with seven ayes and zero nays.
The approvals were routine consent items that municipal staff said maintain operations and support upcoming events and services.
