Votes at a glance: property sale, golf carts and pension study
Summary
Council approved the sale of a River Road parcel and a purchase of golf carts but rejected a $40,000 appropriation for an actuarial study of closed police and fire pension plans (R26155). Vote tallies and brief notes are listed.
At the meeting the council recorded votes on several resolutions.
R26152 — Real estate sale (River Road to James Moses III): The resolution authorizing the mayor and city clerk to execute the real estate contract passed on roll call. Council members present voted in favor; staff stated the parcel had been listed with a broker for about a year.
R26153 — Purchase of golf carts (waiver of bidding): The council approved waiver of formal bidding and authorized payment to a vendor for golf carts for Parks and Recreation, including units destined for Burns Park Golf Course. Council discussed the number of carts and why bidding was waived; staff said the equipment was on an existing source contract.
R26155 — Actuarial study for closed police and fire pensions: Council member Hamilton’s resolution to appropriate up to $40,000 for an actuarial study failed on a 3–4 roll call. Hamilton and Hart voted yes; Robinson, Baxter, Harris and Ballard voted no; Insilaco voted yes. Public commenters urged action on behalf of retirees during the debate but the appropriation did not carry.
No additional formal votes were recorded before the council recessed.
