Council approves consent calendar, including HHW contract and participation in Purdue Pharma settlement; auctioneer contract approved
Summary
Council approved the consent calendar unanimously, which included multi‑year temporary road closure for Lee Street Jamboree, an agreement with Clean Earth Environmental Solutions for household hazardous waste (HHW) disposal, an encroachment license, participation in the proposed opioid settlement (Purdue Pharma), and a year‑to‑year contract with Auctioneer Express for surplus sales.
The City Secretary (speaker 12) read the consent calendar, which included routine items and several resolutions: approval of prior meeting minutes, authorization for temporary closure of a segment of state right‑of‑way for the Lee Street Jamboree, a resolution authorizing an agreement with Clean Earth Environmental Solutions for household hazardous waste disposal services, an encroachment license with TMPA and Creek Bend MHC LLC, and participation in the proposed opioid settlement related to the Purdue Pharma bankruptcy plan. Council moved, seconded and approved the consent calendar unanimously.
Separately, the council approved a year‑to‑year contract with Auctioneer Express to handle surplus equipment sales — a vendor the city has used since 2008 — with an out clause so the city can terminate if desired. Staff told council the contract terms were reviewed by the city attorney and recommended for approval. Council members discussed a desire for online postings of change orders and contract details for public transparency and staff agreed to pursue that.
