Willard council rapidly adopts emergency management designation and moves funds for pumper truck
Summary
The Willard City Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2645-26 to designate emergency management service and Resolution 2646-26 to transfer funds to capital project Fund 309 for a Pierce rescue pumper truck; both were passed on first reading after suspension of rules.
The Willard City Council unanimously adopted two resolutions during its March 16, 2026 regular meeting. Council suspended the rules and passed RESOLUTION 2645-26, "A RESOLUTION TO DETERMINE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SERVICE FOR THE CITY OF WILLARD," and RESOLUTION 2646-26, authorizing the annual transfer of funds from Fund 216 (Safety Services Income Tax) to Capital Project Fund 309 for a Pierce rescue pumper truck.
Both measures were presented by the Clerk by title only and were adopted on their first reading after motions to suspend the rules. Councilperson Olson moved to suspend the rules on each resolution and Councilperson Danhoff seconded; in roll-call votes Councilpersons Babcock, Danhoff, Daniel, McKenzie, Olson, Sattig and Vanichek voted yea on both measures.
RESOLUTION 2645-26: The resolution determines the city’s emergency management service. The transcript records no debate or amendments; no effective date or implementing contract is specified in the record.
RESOLUTION 2646-26: The resolution authorizes the annual transfer of funds from Fund 216 (Safety Services Income Tax) to Capital Project Fund 309 for acquisition of a Pierce rescue pumper truck. The transcript does not specify the dollar amount of the transfer or an expected delivery date for the apparatus.
Next steps: The meeting moved to an executive session later in the agenda to discuss pending contract negotiations and adjourned to that session; the resolutions were adopted before the executive session.
