Kettering council approves routine service contracts and smaller grants, including EMS billing and backflow repairs
Summary
Council authorized multiple service contracts and grants: EMS billing services ($100,000/year), fire apparatus maintenance ($29,700), backflow preventer repairs (about $32,000), acceptance of a $21,830 litter-prevention grant (with $6,549 local match), and a lead-hazard grant application to assist about 25 households.
At its Oct. 28 meeting Kettering City Council approved a set of routine procurement and grant-related items requested by departments.
The council authorized a contract with EMS Management and Consultants, Inc. for EMS billing services at a stated cost and budget of $100,000 (staff indicated this is an annual amount and part of a five-year arrangement). Council also approved a maintenance and repair contract with Fire Apparatus Service and Repair Inc. for city emergency apparatus at an estimated cost of $29,700.
Public service and utilities business included ratifying an agreement with Ohio Valley Integration Services for inspection, testing and repair of the city’s 78 backflow preventers; staff said this year’s program cost is a little over $32,000 after multiple rebuilds and one replacement related to noted deficiencies.
Council accepted a litter prevention grant from Montgomery County Solid Waste Management District for $21,830 to purchase heavy-duty dual-compartment trash and recycling receptacles for Fraze Pavilion; the project includes a local match of $6,549. Separately, planning staff requested authorization to apply for a Montgomery County lead hazard reduction subgrant (anticipated to assist about 25 households) and said the city would match with CDBG funds; staff noted uncertainty about a concurrent HUD grant due to the federal government shutdown.
All items were approved by roll call.
