Main Street Auto owner urges council to seek competitive bids for city vehicle work
Summary
Joshua Elliot, owner of Main Street Auto, told the council he supports soliciting bids from local businesses to perform work on city vehicles and described prior unpaid or temporary work done for city vehicles.
Joshua Elliot, owner of Main Street Auto, addressed the Sedan City Council during an agenda-request item to respond to prior comments from another business owner and to promote competitive bidding for city vehicle work. Elliot said he had performed work on city vehicles, including temporarily replacing tires on a patrol vehicle until new tires arrived.
Elliot told the council he was "in favor of the city getting bids from businesses to do work on vehicles." The minutes record his request but do not indicate whether staff will open a formal bidding process or which procurement rules would apply.
Council members did not authorize a specific procurement action during the meeting; the minutes record the comment for the public record. The council later approved vehicle repairs in separate motions (fuel pump and bucket truck PTO pump) during the same meeting.
