Council approves emergency contract for Cheshire Road signal and adopts budget and procurement ordinances
Summary
Council approved a contract award and emergency declaration for Cheshire Road traffic signal improvements, and unanimously adopted amendments to the 2026 appropriations and a credit-card authorization ordinance; votes were recorded by roll call.
The Sunbury City Council on June 17 approved multiple routine and time-sensitive items, including an emergency award for Cheshire Road traffic-signal improvements and two budget/procurement ordinances.
Council moved and approved a third-reading amendment to the city's 2026 annual appropriations (ordinance 2026.01.1, first amended) by roll call, recorded as six 'Yes' votes. The council also passed a third-reading ordinance (2026.16) to amend credit-card accounts and authorize users with expenditure limits, again by a 6-0 roll-call vote.
On the Cheshire Road traffic-signal project (ordinance 2026.18), council suspended the rules to consider the item, voted to declare an emergency to accelerate procurement, and then voted to award the contract for the project to Danbury Electrical Corp. City staff explained lead times for poles and cabinet equipment (about 18 weeks) and the need to sign a contract to begin fabrication and submittal review, which the city said would allow a plausible November installation window. Each roll-call item related to the signal project was recorded as six 'Yes' votes.
Votes at a glance: - Minutes approval (June 3): approved 6-0. - Ordinance 2026.01.1 (2026 appropriations, first amended): adopted 6-0. - Ordinance 2026.16 (credit card accounts/authorized users): adopted 6-0. - Ordinance 2026.18 (Cheshire Road traffic signal contract to Danbury Electrical Corp) and emergency declaration: approved (motions recorded as 6 'Yes').
Next steps: staff will proceed with contract execution and submittal review to meet procurement and installation timelines.
