Summary

At its June 15 meeting, Madisonville’s council approved a series of routine resolutions by voice vote: acceptance of Morton Salt’s bid for road salt, declaring equipment and signs as surplus (maintenance, water department, transportation), and authorizing a list of employee-owned businesses to contract with the city.

Madisonville’s City Council dealt with several procurement and housekeeping items on June 15, adopting multiple resolutions by voice vote.

Procurement: The council accepted the lowest responsive bid from Morton Salt for deliveries over 20 tons at $138.50 per ton through the Kentucky League of Cities cooperative reverse-salt option (Resolution 2026-13). The mayor was authorized to execute documents necessary to complete the purchase.

Franchise and surplus actions: The council declared maintenance-shop equipment (Resolution 2026-15), water-department equipment (Resolution 2026-16) and transportation regulatory signs (Resolution 2026-17) as surplus property, authorizing disposal according to KRS 82.083. Each surplus resolution referenced an Exhibit A listing the items to be disposed.

Contracting with employee-owned businesses: As part of routine budget renewals and procurement transparency, council approved an annual list authorizing the city to contract services with local businesses in which city employees hold an interest (item carried for the new fiscal year starting July 1). The attached list of names and business entities was accepted; council members were invited to ask questions if needed.

Procedural notes: Most of these items were approved by voice vote with no roll-call tallies provided in the meeting record. The resolutions reference statutory disposal procedures (KRS 82.083) and use the Kentucky League of Cities cooperative procurement process for the salt bid.
