Loveland City Council approves routine procurement and administrative resolutions in unanimous votes
Summary
At its Jan. 14 meeting, Loveland City Council voted unanimously to approve a package of routine resolutions including two vehicle purchases, property‑insurance renewal, online auction designation, eligible depository list, tax‑advance request, and contracts for a citywide phone system and implementation support.
Loveland City Council on Jan. 14 approved a slate of routine resolutions designed to align the 2026 capital improvements program and update several administrative services.
Council adopted eight resolutions by roll call vote, each carried 7–0. The measures included authorizing purchase agreements for a 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 battalion fire/EMS vehicle (purchased through Husky Chevrolet; purchase cost cited by staff at $51,700) and a 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 public‑works service truck (McCluskey Chevrolet). Council also adopted resolutions declaring intent to conduct internet sales of surplus property, designating eligible depository banks under Ohio law, and requesting county auditors make advanced property‑tax payments to support cash flow.
Staff briefed council on a renewal of the city’s property‑casualty and liability coverage through the Public Entities Pool of Ohio (PEP). Finance staff said an increase in insured values — roughly $2 million — and a change in PEP’s premium tiering contributed to an approximately $30,000 increase in the city’s premium to a cap cited as $158,000; council approved renewal and authority to execute related documents.
Council also authorized a cloud‑based unified communications contract with RingCentral and a separate implementation and support agreement with Advanced Technology Consulting (ATC). Staff said those agreements follow an ATC audit showing potential five‑year savings and operational advantages; implementation will take several months and is designed to preserve uninterrupted public access to city services.
All resolutions were adopted on voice and roll‑call votes recorded in the meeting minutes, each showing unanimous support (7–0).
