Council advances a package of contracts, capital savings and several zoning and ordinance items
Summary
Committee and council action included awards for the Pilgrim Senior Center chiller and HVAC services, Barracuda backups, citywide striping and other capital items; several zoning and personnel ordinance amendments received second passage on the council floor.
City committees and the full council moved multiple routine procurement and ordinance items through approval on the consent and second‑passage dockets.
Public Works presented a capital project to furnish and install a new Carrier air‑cooled chiller at the Pilgrim Senior Center; the low recommended award to Failins Engineering was $93,010, a savings from the original $150,000 capital authorization. A separate request to replace two fan coils at Pilgrim (smaller, staggered replacements) also came in under budget.
The council approved a one‑year HVAC services bid for city‑owned buildings (Failinx Engineering and CAM HVAC & Construction) at $80,000 and approved a citywide road striping contract (specified routes; crosswalks and parade striping were excluded). The IT department recommended renewal of Barracuda backup and email archiving via Visual Edge IT for an annualized amount transcribed at about $78,449.70; staff explained last year’s six‑month figures extrapolated to a similar annual amount after consolidation.
On the ordinance front, the council gave second passage to amendments affecting compensation of certain officials and voted to eliminate the personnel hearing board in favor of appeals to the city personnel director; the latter measure drew at least one no vote on second passage but passed. A citywide zoning amendment identifying geographic limitations for retail sales of marijuana and related products was also approved on second passage after prior debate.
Committee and council records show these items moved forward on the consent calendar or passed second passage; minutes and official contracts filed with the clerk contain the authoritative award and price information.
