Board approves tablets, community cleanup dates, fireworks vendor permit and routine minutes and bills
Summary
During the session the board adopted the minutes and bills list, authorized tablets for agenda packets, set the citywide cleanup for May 10 and a community garage sale for May 3, approved a fireworks-stand vendor permit, and carried an authorization to pursue a skid-steer purchase within a $43,000–$47,000 range.
The board handled several routine and operational items by voice vote at its meeting.
The board approved the business-session minutes and the bills list by voice vote at the start of the meeting.
On technology, staff recommended purchasing tablets for board members to replace printed agenda packets; staff estimated a one-time tablet cost of about $120 per device and annual printing savings near $1,200. The board voted to move forward with the tablet plan.
The board set the citywide cleanup for May 10 and the community garage sale for May 3 after a motion and second were carried by voice vote.
The board approved a request from a fireworks vendor. Josh Lale, who identified himself as representing a fireworks business, told the board he had "been doing this a few years" and had not had problems operating in prior years; he also suggested the board consider amending ordinances to allow extended sale days around July 4.
Finally, the board carried a motion authorizing staff to pursue a skid-steer purchase within an approximate $43,000–$47,000 range pending dealer pricing and trade-in values. The meeting ended after elected-official comments and a motion to adjourn passed.
Where vote details were not recorded in the transcript, items were carried by voice vote reported as "all in favor."
