Council approves interlocal with rural fire district, fixed-asset policy change and several permits and contracts
Summary
Columbus City Council voted to approve a $152,880 interlocal agreement with Columbus Rural Fire District No. 3, adopt a fixed-asset policy amendment, approve a $40,000 school resource officer agreement and multiple permits and construction contracts.
The Columbus City Council approved a series of routine but budgetary actions during its meeting, including an interlocal agreement with Columbus Rural Fire District No. 3 for $152,880 and adoption of Resolution 895-2026 amending the city's fixed asset policy.
Council also approved a $40,000 school resource officer agreement with no increase from the prior year, a public works construction agreement with Hart 7 for $74,100 to relocate a road and resurface a gunnery area, and special use permits for a Diamond Street street dance (May 29) and Beartooth Days at Heritage Park (June 27). "Motion carries" recorded after roll-call affirmations for these items indicated unanimous support on each vote.
The council moved these items on motions and roll-call confirmations; members clarified scopes where necessary (for example, that gun-range work was included in the Hart 7 contract and that the airport-related vote to "support looking into" an airport authority did not itself create the authority). Council asked staff to follow up on language edits and warranty questions for future agenda items.
These approvals were presented as new business; where discussion occurred it focused on scope and timing rather than substantive controversy. Council members asked staff for clarifying contract language and follow-up reports where needed.
