Committee backs insurance renewal, vehicle purchases and wage‑authority updates
Summary
The committee recommended renewing property/liability insurance (premium rising to about $228,000), authorized purchase of two leased vehicles at roughly $19,100 and $18,260, and approved clarifying wage authority/ranges for certain part-time positions.
The joint Finance & Public Service Committee recommended several administrative items to council during its meeting.
Finance staff said the city's property and liability premium will increase from about $214,000 last year to approximately $228,000 this year; staff recommended continuing with Highland Group via the Ohio Plan because a broader bid process produced no viable alternate bidders. The committee voted to recommend the renewal to council.
Separately, staff requested authority to purchase two vehicles at lease maturity (a fire utility vehicle for $19,100.84 and a streets F250 for $18,260.43) because continued leasing was costlier for residents. The committee recommended purchase to council.
The committee also approved recommending ordinance language to clarify wage authority and timing for certain part‑time positions and to set a project-manager pay range ($25–$30) consistent with other part‑time pay scales.
