Anna council adopts ordinance to bid 2025 sidewalk program, approves $13,180 camera purchase
Summary
At its Jan. 28 meeting, the Village of Anna council adopted Ordinance 25-1860 to authorize bidding of the 2025 sidewalk program on S. Linden Ave., Fairview Ave., and E. South St., and approved a $13,180 camera purchase; council also reviewed outstanding contractor paperwork and discussed bidding for multi-year water-tower maintenance.
The Village of Anna council on Jan. 28 adopted Ordinance 25-1860 authorizing the village administrator to solicit bids for the 2025 Sidewalk Program covering S. Linden Avenue, Fairview Avenue and East South Street, and approved a separate motion to purchase a camera for $13,180.
The ordinance—moved through a suspension of the rules by Councilmember Kristin Johnson and seconded by Riley Schumpert—was adopted by roll call vote recorded as "All Yeas." The purchase of the camera was approved after a motion by Councilmember Mark Pulfer, seconded by Andy Baldonado, and also passed by a roll call of "All Yeas." The meeting minutes record both votes as unanimous among those present.
Why it matters: the sidewalk program will be put out to bid and, if awarded and funded, will direct construction work on three named streets in the village. The camera purchase was approved by vote but the meeting record does not specify a funding source or vendor in the discussion; those details were not provided in the record.
Council also reviewed related procurement and contract issues during committee reports and old business. Fiscal Officer Stacy Meyer said signed final-payment paperwork from Jagger Construction has not been received for a previously discussed contract; Administrator William Kessler said he will work with Access Engineering to get the 2025 sidewalk project bid out and will send a draft contract to Solicitor Andrew Johnston for legal verification of multi-year obligations, particularly for water-tower maintenance, which was identified as requiring competitive bidding because of dollar thresholds.
Votes at a glance: Ordinance 25-1860 (authorize bidding 2025 sidewalk program) — motion to suspend rules and adopt: mover Johnson, seconder Schumpert; roll call: All Yeas; outcome: approved. Camera purchase, $13,180 — mover Pulfer, seconder Baldonado; roll call: All Yeas; outcome: approved. Earlier procedural motions to waive reading of minutes and to approve the Jan. 14 minutes were also recorded as unanimous.
Next steps: Administrator Kessler will proceed with documents needed to bid the sidewalk project and will send a draft water-tower maintenance contract to the solicitor for review. The council packet indicated further follow-up and committee review will continue in upcoming committee meetings.
