The Palo City Council took several procedural and procurement actions at its July 6 meeting.
The council unanimously approved Resolution 070626B to enter a joint-funding agreement with the United States Geological Survey to operate and maintain a stream gage on the Cedar River, which council members said provides important data for flood forecasts. The motion was made by Councilmember Doug Hanover and seconded by Councilmember Taylor Burgin; the vote was 5-0.
Council also approved Resolution 070626C to correct fund transfers previously approved through resolutions 061526D and 061526F (motion: Jen Welton; second: Eric Van Kerckhove; vote: 5-0). Separately, the council authorized purchase of a portable gas-powered pressure washer from Hotsy for $14,550 (motion: Eric Van Kerckhove; second: Doug Hanover; vote: 5-0).
