Canby Council adds airport CIP items, appoints election judges and awards mower bids
Summary
At its July 9 meeting, the Canby City Council added airport items to the CIP, approved an equipment disposal form and a data-practices contact update, set meeting and event dates, appointed election judges for the Aug. 13 primary, awarded sealed bids for two Toro mowers and approved June vendor transactions totaling $403,262.10.
The Canby City Council handled a bundle of routine municipal business during its July 9 meeting, approving capital plan additions for the airport, adopting internal forms and contact updates, appointing election judges for the Aug. 13 primary, awarding sealed bids for surplus mowers, and approving June vendor transactions.
Airport Engineer Brian Meyer, attending virtually, asked the council to add two items to the airport capital improvement plan: an updated credit card reader for fuel sales (the existing reader is becoming obsolete; the project is state-funded with a projected 2025 implementation) and pursuing the MnDOT Hangar Loan Fund, which provides an 80% interest-free loan for new hangars with a projected project date of 2031. Councilmember Marisa Kack moved and Councilmember Susan Cram seconded adding those items to the CIP; the motion passed unanimously.
The council approved a new equipment disposal and transfer form to track items transferred, disposed, traded, sold, or lost/stolen; the form was approved with the addition of an estimated value line. A change to the Data Practices Policy contact list was also approved.
Staff announced National Night Out will be held August 6, 2024, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The council set the August meeting date for August 8, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. Councilmembers noted that Police Chief Walker has requested a tentative leave of absence starting sometime in September; the Council did not take action on the leave at this meeting.
The council appointed the following election judges for the August 13 primary: David Leppke, Jerry Clark, Mary Anne O’Reilly, Todd Mitchell, Linda Blackwelder, Sandra Hopper, Laurie Driessen, Arlene Lueders, Jennifer Thovson, Bonnie Merritt and Thalia Sik. The appointments were approved unanimously.
Sealed bids for two Toro mowers were opened and awarded: the 328 Toro Diesel Mower to Independent Oil for $3,000.00 and the 120 Toro Gas Mower to Todd Buys for $250.00. The council approved June 2024 vendor transactions totaling $403,262.10. A motion to adjourn carried unanimously and the meeting record was signed by Mayor Nancy Bormann and City Administrator Bonnie Merritt.
None of the items in this bundle recorded in the meeting minutes included detailed contract terms, long-term financing commitments, or implementation schedules beyond the CIP planning dates and routine administrative approvals; further actions will be required for project execution.
