Committee advances Motorola contract, tax‑code amendments and health grants to June 2 agenda
Summary
At its May 27 meeting the York City Council committee corrected a Motorola contract misprint and moved a five‑year consolidated contract for mobile and body‑worn cameras to the June 2 agenda; it also advanced technical fixes to Articles 307 and 308 (RETAP/LERA) and approved placing multiple public‑health grant acceptances on the June 2 legislative agenda.
York City’s council committee on May 27 corrected an agenda misprint and advanced several administrative and procurement items for consideration at the full June 2 legislative meeting.
Councilman Supler explained that a Motorola Solutions contract listed in the agenda had a typographical error: the agenda showed a projected savings figure ($24,486.22) rather than the contract total. He clarified the five‑year consolidated contract covers 72 devices and totals $372,568.88 (about $74,513.78 per year); the current budget line had been $99,000. Captain Irvin described the need to upgrade 24 in‑car mobile video systems and consolidate three expiring contracts into one package; the committee voted to place the contract on the June 2 agenda.
Treasurer Jeff Coat presented proposed amendments to Article 307 (the residential tax abatement/RETAP provisions) and Article 308 (Local Economic Revitalization Assistance/LERA). The discussion identified editorial errors in the draft (several cross‑references that have 307 and 308 reversed) and requested a wording change so that Article 308 references commercial incentives where appropriate. Members agreed to correct section numbers and move both items to the June 2 agenda.
Councilwoman Janescu reviewed a set of public‑health grant acceptances and budget adjustments for programs including maternal and infant health, immunizations, HIV prevention, family planning, STD testing and public‑health preparedness. Officials noted these grants sustain existing staff and are grant‑funded, not creating new positions; the committee moved those items to the June 2 legislative agenda as well.
What’s next: The items discussed — Motorola contract, the 307/308 technical amendments, and health‑bureaus grants — were placed on the June 2 legislative agenda for final action.
