Orrville council adopts emergency resolutions for audit assistance and camera licensing
Summary
On Feb. 3, 2025 the Orrville City Council unanimously adopted two emergency resolutions: one authorizing agreements with the State Auditor’s Office for GAAP conversion and the annual comprehensive financial report, and another approving a four-year no-bid licensing/maintenance contract with Proline Technology for the citywide Verkada camera system.
Orrville City Council on Feb. 3 unanimously adopted two emergency resolutions authorizing city officials to finalize audit and camera-system contracts.
The council voted to allow the Board of Control to enter into agreements with the State Auditor’s Office to assist with the city’s GAAP conversion and preparation of the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2024. Council members were told the cost will be shared between the City (56%) and the Utilities fund (44%). Councilmember Squirrell moved to suspend the rule requiring three separate readings; Shanklin seconded. The suspension and the subsequent adoption of Resolution 04-25 were approved on unanimous voice votes.
In a second action, the council authorized the Board of Control to execute a four-year, no-bid licensing and maintenance agreement with Proline Technology for the Verkada public-safety camera system serving the city. Council moved and adopted the emergency resolution after suspending the three-reading requirement; the motions to suspend and to adopt were made by Councilmember Squirrell and seconded by Councilmember Shanklin (suspension) and Councilmember Lax (adoption), with voice votes recorded as ayes all.
The minutes record the discussion points but attribute the budget-share detail for Resolution 04-25 only generally; no dollar amount for the Proline agreement was recorded in the minutes. Neither resolution’s adopting motion included recorded roll-call tallies beyond the unanimous voice votes noted in the minutes.
The adopted resolutions authorize the Board of Control to proceed with the two agreements; the minutes do not list contract execution dates, contract values for the camera licensing, or additional procurement documents. The council did not take further action on either item during the meeting.
