Council seeks cost breakdown for $175,000 printing authorization
Summary
Councilors asked administration to clarify what the $175,000 “not to exceed” figure in Ordinance 2283-2026 covers, and requested last year’s printing spend and a line‑item list (tax bills, sewer bills, other mailings) before the next meeting.
Councilors asked the administration for a clearer accounting of a not‑to‑exceed $175,000 printing services authorization under Ordinance 2283‑2026.
At the June 22 work session a council member questioned whether the authorization buys printers or services; staff clarified it is a vendor list and a ceiling for potential printing services, not an immediate purchase. “We have a list of vendors attached... this isn't saying we're spending that amount of money,” a staff member said, adding the administration would provide last year’s actual printing expenses and a breakdown of what items — for example tax bills and sewer bills — fall under the authorization.
Council members pressed for a list of specific documents covered by the cap and asked whether anything in the contract would make it urgent to act before the next meeting. Staff said tax bills and sewer bill printing could be time‑sensitive and agreed to provide a full item list by Wednesday. The council did not take a final vote on the ordinance at the work session.
