Aurelia council approves FY26 budget amendment, hires ISG for water work and OKs new office computers
Summary
At its Sept. 15 meeting, the Aurelia City Council unanimously approved Resolution 25-12, opening and closing a public hearing on a FY26 budget amendment, authorized an owner/engineer agreement with ISG for water improvements, declined responsibility for an SCE invoice for 516 E 2nd St., and approved purchase of four new office computers for $6,579.40.
The Aurelia City Council on Sept. 15, 2025 approved a set of routine and project-specific actions including a FY26 budget amendment, an owner/engineer agreement for water-system improvements and a $6,579.40 purchase of four new office computers.
Mayor Pro-Tem Roman Redig called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. and the council—Council Members Nelson, Johnson and Fassler attending; Bruce absent—conducted regular business, including approval of the consent agenda by a 4-0 roll call vote.
The council opened a public hearing on Resolution 25-12, described in the meeting packet as the city’s first FY26 budget amendment. Council Member Nelson moved to open the hearing and later moved to close it; in the same segment the council voted to adopt Resolution 25-12. The vote on the budget amendment was recorded as 4-0 in favor, with Council Member Bruce absent.
Why it matters: the amendment adjusts the city’s FY26 appropriations across funds following the clerk’s presentation of August revenues and disbursements. The meeting packet lists General Fund receipts of $44,968.72 and a set of disbursement and revenue totals; the packet lists total disbursements as $88,417.38 and an alternate total of $84,088.52.
On infrastructure, the council approved a Water Systems Improvement Owner/Engineer Agreement with ISG. The motion to approve the ISG agreement carried unanimously (4-0, Bruce absent). The agreement was presented and approved as a formal part of the evening’s actions; the packet identifies ISG as the owner/engineer for the water improvements but does not include contract dollar amounts in the discussion recorded in the minutes.
On a separate item the council directed that the city "will not be responsible for the invoice from SCE for 516 E 2nd St.," a motion made by Mayor Pro-Tem Roman Redig and seconded by Council Member Nelson. The motion passed with all members present voting "aye" and one member absent. That action assigns responsibility for the SCE invoice away from the city, but the minutes do not specify which party will assume the charge or the underlying reason for the invoice.
The council also approved a Rebnord Technologies quote for $6,579.40 to purchase and install four new office computers. Council Member Fassler moved to approve the purchase; Council Member Johnson seconded. The motion passed 4-0, with Bruce absent.
Finally, the council approved Resolution 25-13 directing the clerk to publish notice of a hearing on proposed amendments to the municipal code (Chapter 92, Water Rates). Council Member Nelson moved and Fassler seconded the motion to direct publication; the vote was recorded as unanimous among members present. The minutes record that the clerk will publish notice but do not list a hearing date.
The meeting packet included routine bills payable and vendor line items (for example, Aurelia Electric $3,711.46; Aurelia Utilities $4,734.27) and standard department reports; those items were approved as part of the consent agenda. The meeting adjourned at 7:21 p.m.
Next steps: the clerk will publish notice of the hearing on Chapter 92 water rates per Resolution 25-13 and administer any public hearing on the FY26 budget amendment as required by state law.
