McCall council adopts FY26 appropriation amendment and approves contracts, leases and grants
Summary
At its May 28 meeting, the McCall City Council adopted an FY26 appropriations amendment, approved multiple contracts and lease-purchase agreements, and accepted a $4,000 ALSC library grant. All motions passed on roll-call votes or unanimous consent as recorded.
The McCall City Council on May 28 adopted Ordinance No. 1036 amending the FY26 annual appropriations ordinance and approved a package of contracts, reimbursements and lease-purchase agreements. City staff opened and closed the public hearing on the budget amendment with no public testimony, and the ordinance was read by title before the council adopted it on a roll-call vote.
Council also voted to authorize a city reimbursement for developer-installed storm-water infrastructure tied to the Third Street Apartments project, approved a seven-year lease-to-own equipment purchase (Resolution 26-23) for a Schwarze A9 monsoon street sweeper, and awarded a construction contract for the southeast library parking lot and pedestrian pathway to K2 Excavation & Construction LLC. In addition, the council approved three local artist commission agreements for the final phase of the "Local Art for Light Boxes" project and accepted a $4,000 Moren Hayes Author/Illustrator Visit Award from the Association for Library Services to Children to support a June author visit.
Bessie Joe read the ordinance language on the record when Ordinance 1036 was considered. Public Works Director Nathan Stewart briefed the council on the storm-water reimbursement agreement and described the public-works drainage constraints that prompted the cooperative approach with the developer. Stewart explained the city would reimburse up to the amount stated in the agreement upon city engineer approval of the installed infrastructure. The council approved the reimbursement motion on a roll-call vote.
On equipment, Nathan Stewart described the advantages of a seven-year lease-to-own arrangement to acquire a newer sweeper, noting lower annual payments and ownership at term's end; the council adopted Resolution 26-23 and authorized the mayor to sign necessary documents. For construction, staff said the K2 bid arrived below the engineer’s estimate; the council awarded the parking lot and pathway work to K2 and authorized change orders up to 10% of the contract price.
This package of formal actions was passed by recorded votes; staff will implement the contracts, review final invoices and return documentation to the city for signature where required.
