Madison council approves bucket-truck appropriation, consent agenda and $1.3M in vouchers
Summary
Council adopted Ordinance 31-2026 to appropriate $245,000 from the electric capital fund for a new bucket truck, approved consent-agenda resolutions R212–R229 with one abstention, and approved vouchers totaling $1,307,914.01.
At the regular meeting the council adopted Ordinance 31-2026, which appropriates $245,000 from the Electric Capital Improvement Fund for purchase of a new articulating telescopic bucket truck and accessories. The second-reading hearing received no public comment and the ordinance was adopted by roll call.
The council then moved to adopt the consent agenda (Resolutions R212–R229). The consent package passed on a single motion and roll-call vote; one abstention was recorded on Resolution R223. Council members noted the need for transformers authorized in a separate consent resolution given recent storm damage.
Finally, vouchers across multiple municipal funds were approved by roll call. The meeting record lists vouchers from the current fund ($410,108.25), general capital ($33,845.61), electric operating ($804,448.05), electric capital ($1,311.41), water operating ($12,635.83), water capital ($2,512.80) and trust ($43,052.06), for a total of $1,307,914.01.
Several consent items were highlighted during discussion, including an Eagle Scout project authorizing trail work at the Madison Recreation Complex and a resolution to install a peace pole at James Park. The clerk was directed to publish and file ordinances and resolutions as required by law.
