At its Aug. 27 meeting the City of Green Council acted on several administrative resolutions and procurement matters.
Key votes and actions
- Resolution 2024-R47: Council adopted a resolution authorizing a three-year prepayment lease for two 2024 Equinox EVs from Sarah Chevrolet at a total cost of $46,427.84. The finance committee said the lease will be paid entirely from a NOPEC energized community grant.
- Resolution 2024-R50: Council approved installation of telecommunications equipment for the City of Green’s public access channel; the Green Telecommunications Board had recommended up to $60,000 from the Green Community Telecommunications Fund (balance cited at $337,379.88). Council bypassed the three-reading rule and adopted R50 by roll call.
- Resolution 2024-R52: The Environment & Parks committee moved and council adopted R52 to authorize the mayor to apply for a NatureWorks grant of up to $100,000 for an accessible recreation field at Kleckner Park.
- Resolution 2024-R46: Council adopted R46 awarding a contract to Joseph A. Jeffries Co., Inc. for the 2024 miscellaneous concrete repairs program; engineer’s estimate was $166,104.13 and the low bid was $163,820.30. The contract covers about 849.6 square yards of concrete and roughly 180.5 feet of curb; vote recorded as 7–0.
- Resolution 2024-R49 (ambulance purchase): The administration requested time on R49, a proposed purchase of a Braun Chief XL medic unit estimated at $339,087 to be funded from the ambulance billing fund. The committee asked for additional time given usual capital budgeting practices.
What happens next: Staff will process adopted contracts and applications per departmental procedures; the ambulance purchase remains pending committee action.
Ending: No financial emergency appropriations for the ambulance were passed at this meeting; other adopted items will proceed to procurement and implementation as described.
