Council discussed contract details for the golf-course concession, including city-provided equipment use and inventory documentation; the city attorney said a draft contract was forwarded to council and that the concessionaire will be responsible for obtaining any required liquor license. On the sewer-camera procurement staff said the existing system’s software and hardware were obsolete and the retrofit meets operational needs while saving money compared with replacing the trailer.
Council also handled routine announcements and scheduling for upcoming budget work sessions.
The council adjourned at about 7:05 p.m.; staff will return to council with any required contract finalizations and future ordinance readings as needed.
