Mills council approves consent agenda and two resolutions, rejects landscaping bids
Summary
The council approved a consent agenda and two resolutions (2026-12 correcting typographical errors, and 2026-13 regarding unserved warrants), then rejected a motion to accept landscaping bid agreements after a council member argued in favor of in-house work.
The Mills City Council approved its consent agenda and two routine resolutions, but voted down a proposal to accept outside landscaping bids after a council member recommended retaining in-house staff because it appeared less costly.
A council member moved to approve the consent agenda; the motion was seconded and passed on a voice vote. The mayor then introduced Resolution 2026-12, described in the record as correcting typographical errors in recent resolutions; the council moved, seconded and approved the resolution. The council similarly approved Resolution 2026-13, described as addressing unserved warrants.
When the council considered landscaping bid agreements, a council member urged rejecting the bids and having staff perform the work in-house, saying that doing so would be "less than half" the cost quoted by some bidders and therefore more affordable. The motion to approve the landscaping agreements was seconded but failed after council recorded several "nay" voice responses.
The meeting then moved on to executive session items.
Because the audio record uses multiple short voice responses for votes rather than roll-call naming, the transcript does not identify which individual council members cast each specific recorded voice vote.
