The committee packet proposes amending Ordinance 25-121 to authorize purchase of a Freightliner M2106 with a Terex Optima TCX55-NOC aerial device at $441,157 (a $1,150 increase). The ordinance cites Ohio procurement statutes and requests suspension and call for immediate action.
A packet item on May 12, 2026, proposes amending Ordinance 25-121 to increase the authorized purchase price for a Freightliner Model M2106 equipped with a Terex Optima TCX55‑NOC aerial device to $441,157, an increase of $1,150 from the previously authorized amount. The ordinance text notes that participation in a Sourcewell contract is permitted under section 9.48 of the Ohio Revised Code and cites section 735.05 requiring council authorization for expenditures exceeding $75,250.
The packet frames the purchase as needed equipment for the electric department and declares the ordinance an emergency measure to provide the equipment promptly. The original ordinance sponsorship is attributed in the packet to Council Member Tom Stugmyer. The packet lists the amended ordinance as 'Legislation Request—suspend & call' but contains no recorded vote or staff presentation text.
The packet includes required publication certification by Julie Darlington, Clerk of Council. Any formal approval timeline will depend on council action following the requested suspension and call procedures.
