Council approves consent agenda; recognizes promotions and reviews committee reports
Summary
The council approved the consent agenda and several routine items including surplus of a 2010 ambulance (estimated fair-market value $13,333). The meeting also acknowledged a new ladder truck delivery and sworn promotions in the police department and received committee reports on public works, public safety and finance.
Council approved the Consent Agenda on a 7-0 vote, which included procedural items and a recommendation to surplus a 2010 Ford E-450 ambulance (A7503) with an estimated fair-market value of $13,333. Finance staff recommended posting the vehicle for bids and consigning to auction if no bids are received; city policy requires council majority approval for disposal of assets estimated over $10,000.
In committee reports, councilors noted that the new ladder truck had been received and a push-in/hosing ceremony was held prior to the meeting. The council also administered promotions in the police department (Corporal Tanner Holland to Sergeant; Officer Jarren VanLoo to Corporal). The Finance Committee reported that sales tax and lodging tax revenues were down; Councilor Gary Vis commented on potential local spending impacts if cross-border Canadian fuel spending shifts.
