Council removes fire command car 60 from capital list; library carpet bids and facility repairs discussed

After discussion about mileage and engine hours, Councilor S3 moved (seconded by S2) to remove command car 60 from the capital budget request and the motion passed after a roll call. Proponents said they preferred to wait until the vehicle is closer to 100,000 miles before replacing; members asked staff for more detail about mobile fire radios and asked staff to email additional information before the next meeting.

Separately, councilors reviewed library second-floor carpet bids. Lori (S11) said all three bids were included in the packet and that JW Flooring of Green Bay submitted the lowest bid; JW’s most recent quoted figure shown in the packet was $30,250, and staff agreed to confirm how long the quote would be honored. Members discussed whether to treat the carpet expense as a 2027 cost and asked staff to verify bid validity and moving‑shelf costs before final approval.

Why it matters: removing command car 60 reduces near-term capital spending but may extend service life risk for that vehicle; filing and confirming vendor bids for library work affects project scheduling and budget timing.
