Council refers $1.6 million fire pumper purchase to Committee of the Whole after questions on supporting documents
Summary
An order to borrow $1,600,000 to purchase two fire pumpers (2026-117) was referred to the Committee of the Whole after councilors raised concerns about missing supporting documents; the referral passed 6-1-1 (Councilor Stanganelli opposed; Councilor Hogg abstained).
The council considered 2026-117, an order to appropriate $1,600,000 by borrowing to purchase two fire pumpers and related equipment. Councilor Amanda Haggstrom read the summary and councilors noted supporting documents for the purchase were missing from the city website. Due to the concerns, Councilor Haggstrom moved to refer the item to the Committee of the Whole; Councilor Pamela Gilday seconded and the referral passed 6-1-1, with Councilor Steven Stanganelli opposed and Councilor Michael Hogg abstaining.
No final appropriation vote occurred; the referral indicates the council seeks further review and additional documentation before advancing the borrowing authorization.
