The Fleet Fund includes funds for replacement vehicles. Recommend adoption of the resolutions approving the purchase of two replacement dump trucks (one to replace one that was ordered earlier and then the order was cancelled by the supplier , and one for a 2023 replacement). 7.8 The Council will consider a resolution authorizing professional services for the 2023 Utility Reconstruction project. Design and cost estimating for the 2023 Utility Reconstruction project needs to start soon. Recommend adoption of the resolution authorizing professional services for the 2023 Utility Reconstruction project. 7.9 The Council will consider a resolution declaring the amount to be assessed, ordering the preparation of the assessment roll, and setting a date for the public hearing for the 2022 Utility Reconstruction private sanitary sewer service repairs. As part of the Utility Reconstruction project, property owners can have private sanitary sewer service repairs completed and be assessed for that work. In this year’s project we had several property owners have this work done and a public hearing on assessing those costs needs to be scheduled. Recommend adoption of the resolution declaring the amount of these improvements to be assessed, ordering the preparation of the assessment roll and setting the date of Oct. 3 for the public hearing for these private sanitary sewer service repairs. 7.10 The City Council will consider a resolution authorizing the purchase of a replacement street sweeper. In 2021, one of the city’s street sweepers caught fire and has been out of commission since then.

Recommend adoption of the resolution authorizing the purchase of the replacement street sweeper. 7.11 The Council will consider a resolution awarding a contract for improvements to the administration side of City Hall. Page 4 of 4 Earlier this year, the City Council approved the purchase of replacement furniture for the administration side of City Hall, once the police are moved into their new space. Since some of the work spaces will be reconfigured, electrical work is needed with the new cubicles. While the administrative side is empty of furnishings, it makes sense to replace the carpet (included in the Capital Building Fund) and repaint walls. Recommend adoption of the resolution awarding a contract for improvements to the administration side of City Hall. 7.12 The Council will consider the 2021-2022 contract with Law Enforcement Labor Services (LELS), Local 56 (police supervisors). As the Council recalls, the 2021-2022 contract with LELS, Local 56 (police supervisors) was outstanding and the matter went to arbitration . The arbitrator awarded the bargaining unit the same wage increases (2% for 2021 and 2022) and health insurance increases as other employees. Recommend approval of the 2021 – 2022 contract with LELS, Local 56 (police supervisors). 8. Announcements a.
