Alma City Commission approves routine purchases, audits and investments
Summary
The commission approved consent items including a $17,641.38 purchase order for police systems maintenance, a $39,850 audit engagement, transit audit inclusion, and ratified several short-term investments by voice vote; no items were removed for separate discussion.
Alma City commissioners unanimously approved a set of routine consent items during the same meeting that authorized bond financing for the city's 2026 clean-water project.
Approved items included a purchase order for Core Technology Corporation in the amount of $17,641.38 to cover annual systems maintenance for the police department; the commission heard that the purchase is for a yearly subscription covering reports, evidence management and mobile/vehicle access. The commission also approved an engagement letter with O'Neil CPAs for the city's year-end financial statement audit and required single audit for a total contract fee of $39,850; staff noted the fee increased by roughly $3,400 from last year because of additional single-audit work tied to SRF projects.
Staff clarified that the Alma Transit Center audit is included in the cited engagement price and is not an additional cost. Separately, the commission ratified recent investments in certificates of deposit and U.S. Treasury securities with yields discussed during the meeting, and it approved routine appropriations/payments.
All consent items were approved by voice vote; no member removed items for separate consideration.
