Council approves commercial pool vacuum purchase, reappointments and routine consent items
Summary
Manchester City Council approved a $12,442.84 purchase of an Enduro M32 commercial pool vacuum citing longer life, on-site training and local service, and approved routine consent items including minutes, retail permit renewals, resolutions and appointments; a payment to 'Graham' for engineering services was listed but the transcript amount was unclear.
The Manchester City Council approved the purchase of an Enduro M32 commercial pool vacuum, discussed as costing $12,442.84 in the staff memo, and approved the meeting’s consent agenda of routine items including minutes, permits, bills and several appointments.
Doug Foley (as referenced in staff materials) and city staff recommended the Enduro M32, saying the commercial unit offers mapping, on-site servicing, a longer expected useful life and included on-site training for staff. The staff presentation contrasted the Enduro with the Dolphin models the city previously used, noting the Enduro’s heavier, commercial build and local service options that should reduce out-of-service time.
On the consent agenda, the council approved minutes from previous meetings; adopted Resolution 51 to approve bills and expense reports; acknowledged committee and board minutes; approved renewal applications for several retail cigarette permits (Casey’s, Cork and Bottle, Dollar General, Fairway, Tobacco & Vape, Hi, Dollar Fresh, Quickstar, Walmart); appointed Sarah Mauard to the Eastern Iowa Regional Housing Authority; appointed Doug Hawker to the board of adjustments; and authorized staff to certify unpaid nuisance removal fees to the county treasurer for collection. The packet also listed payment to an engineering provider (“Graham”) related to bridge inspection and street improvements; the transcript showed a figure rendered as "$26,43.50" that was unclear and should be verified with staff.
The council voted on the Enduro purchase and the consent agenda; all recorded votes were yes. Staff said warranty coverage and local repair options were factors in the recommendation.
