At the meeting the council approved multiple routine items by voice votes.
Business licenses: Council voted to accept new business licenses for Waymaker Yard Maintenance, DML Services, Their Pro Service, Golden Fortune Asian Cuisine (a vetted food truck), and Ramsey Signs Inc. The mayor called for a motion and the council voted aye.
Resolutions and IGAs: The council read and approved Resolution 26‑1232, authorizing a one‑year extension of the county senior‑center meal services (a Meals on Wheels arrangement executed via a three‑party contract); staff noted a nominal 2% increase. Resolution 26‑1234, an intergovernmental agreement with Douglas County Solid Waste for storage and disposal of abandoned recreational vehicles, was approved as a standard IGA. Resolution 26‑1235 certified delinquent sewer user charges to the Douglas County assessor (a statutory collection mechanism limited to sewer and plant‑upgrade charges); staff explained the statutory limits and described the new collections platform for other fee recovery. Finally, Resolution 26‑1236 authorized the city manager to purchase a vehicle for the wastewater treatment facility, sharing 50% of the cost with the Green Area Water and Sanitary Authority; staff reported finding a nearly new used pickup within the approved budget and with a certified extended warranty.
All resolutions were moved, seconded, and passed by voice vote during the meeting; no roll‑call tallies with individual names were recorded in the transcript beyond verbal 'aye' responses.
What happens next: Staff will execute the IGAs and proceed with the vehicle purchase and collections certification as authorized by the council.
