Council approves claims including fire‑truck purchase; staff flags purchasing‑policy ambiguity
Summary
Council approved the claims list, which included a previously approved purchase order for a fire truck and subsequent change orders; staff noted the purchasing policy is unclear about whether previously approved POs must return for final approval before the check is cut.
Rosina presented the claims list and explained that the fire truck at issue had an earlier approved purchase order (PO 2025-38) and change orders; she said the final payment is a bit lower than the original PO. Rosina noted that the city's purchasing policy does not clearly state whether a previously approved PO needs additional approval before the final check is issued and suggested the policy may need clarification.
The council moved and seconded to approve the claims; the vote was taken by roll call/voice and members voted "Aye." Rosina said she would follow up on potential purchasing-policy clarifications and email draft resolutions and tweaks to councilors for review.
