City approves consent agenda including cooperative purchasing for public-safety supplies and HEB Reads MOU
Summary
The council unanimously approved the consent agenda, which included a cooperative purchasing resolution for public-safety and firehouse supplies (annual amount not to exceed $161,000; $483,000 if renewals exercised) and an MOU formalizing the H-E-B Reads literacy collaboration among Hurst, Euless, Bedford and H-E-B ISD.
City Manager Andrea Rollie presented the consent agenda and summarized items for council consideration, including approval of minutes from the March 24 regular meeting and a purchasing resolution to allow the city manager to enter into a one-year cooperative agreement (with two one-year renewal options) for public-safety and firehouse supplies from multiple vendors with an annual cap of $161,000 (total $483,000 if both renewals are exercised). Rollie also described a memorandum of understanding to formalize the H-E-B Reads literacy initiative among Bedford, Hurst, Euless and H-E-B ISD and noted the program recorded 12,000,000 reading minutes last year; she said, "There's not a specific dollar amount associated with this MOU." (Andrea Rollie, S6).
A motion to approve the consent agenda was recorded by the mayor (mover identified in the meeting transcript as Council member Donovan—spelled inconsistently in the transcript); the motion was seconded (recorded as by Council member Farco) and the council voted to approve the consent agenda unanimously. No separate votes were recorded for individual consent items in the transcript.
