Public Hearing:
None
Action Items:
H1. Meals on Wheels came and briefed the council on the end of year activities and was requesting $5,000 in funding that was authorized last year. They distributed 7,146 meals to senior citizens. Their expenses were $45,323 and revenue was $42,923. The vote was 6-0 in favor. PASS
H2. Boys and Girls Club gave a presentation asking for funding to help with the maintenance of their vehicles used to transport members around town. PASS
H3. Courtney Alger and Barbara Gividen were appointed to the Cemetery Advisory Board by a vote of 6-0. The terms end on September 30, 2021. PASS
H4. William Chappell and Rylee Oster were appointed to the Youth Advisory Council by a vote of 6-0. There are now 23 vacancies on the YAC. Their terms end on September 30, 2021 or upon graduation from high school. PASS
H5. Public Works Director, Scott Osburn, approached the council with the request to upgrade their SCADA system. The SCADA is the main system they use to operate the water systems around town. The current system is "largely outdated" with proprietary software from a company that is going out of business. City Staff came up with specifications for what they would need in a replacement system, and put out a bid request. They received 4 bids, and the lowest bidder came with very good recommendations in regards to good response times and customer service. With that, Scott recommends the council approve the city to move forward with overhauling their SCADA system - PASS
H6. The Fire Dept is requesting approval of a contract that would allow them to continue to be able to purchase EMS supplies. They have been using this company already and they are very reliable, fast responding, have a good read and preparation for the nations emergencies, and they even have a local rep who has been in continual contact with the station. PASS
H7. This item was regarding an ordinance amendment the Fire Chief wants to bring to the council regarding stationary and mobile food vendors. Chamber of Commerce President Alicia Menard requested the council to table this amendment to allow clarification for future events she has coming up. Chief replied that they have taken upcoming events into account and will not start enforcing this amendment until 1 Jan to allow it not to affect any events going on this year. Joann Courtland would also like more discussion about this amendment, to which Fred Chavez replied if we will be tabling this amendment, he would like a date established so it doesn't get forgotten about and the Fire Dept isn't stressed, thinking they're just being blown off. Bradi Diaz said she doesn't want to vote something in that will take effect now but not be effective until next year. Ryan Haverlah proposed Nov 5th to bring this back to the council, which was agreed on. NO ACTION
H8 and H9 both were regarding the Fire Department trying to trade in some of their older radios and get caught up to today's standard for emergency radios. PASS
H10. The City Manager asked the council about scheduling a November date for a strategic planning session that would last for about four hours. They agreed with November 22, 2019 for the session. Council Candidate Terri Deans asked if it was a good idea for it to be held during the election season. Several council members said it needed to proceed because it had not happened in two years. The compromise came from the city manager who recommended that all candidates would receive invites to the meeting, and everyone agreed.
