Summary
Council approved an emergency ordinance permitting the safety service director to contract for a 2027 Freightliner M2106 Plus and related equipment for the street department, adopting Ordinance O 26 17 by a 6–0 roll-call vote after suspending rules.
The Amherst City Council on April 27 authorized the safety service director to purchase a 2027 Freightliner M2106 Plus and related truck equipment for the street department, adopting the emergency ordinance on first reading.
The clerk read the ordinance: "An ordinance authorizing the safety service director to enter into a contract to purchase a 2027 Freightliner m 2 1 0 6 plus and related truck equipment for the street department and declaring an emergency." Council voted to suspend the three-reading rule and then adopted the ordinance by roll call, 6 to 0; the clerk noted it will be recorded as Ordinance O 26 17.
