Welcome, welcome council and spectators. We uh we'll start our January twenty-first. Um council sessions. I'll note that we have Councilmember Rowena Waters uh on the dial in, and she'll be on the big screen out during the regular meeting. Councilmember Axberg is also dialed in, but he'll be here for the regular meeting. And then Councilmember Nancy Klein is absent, she's under the weather. Okay, this will be a fairly fast meeting. Um depends on how many questions we have. We have a nice book to ask all sorts of questions on, so I think you've already asked those, though. Yes, we do. Okay, with that, uh, we'll start with our consent agenda item. Item number eight, consider authorizing the city manager to approve the purchase of two Greenworks electric mowers from TERF and Soil Management LLC through an interlocal agreement with TIPS purchasing co-op in an amount not to exceed sixty-nine thousand two hundred and forty-eight dollars and fourteen cents. Uh, number nine, consider authorizing city manager to approve the purchase of two Jacobson HR six hundred mowers from Textron, easy go LLC through an interlocal agreement with Bybord Um purchasing co-op in an amount not to exceed a hundred and six thousand twenty-nine dollars and seventy-six cents. I have a question. Yes. So I know that these are to replace some units that need to be replaced. But are we also going to move more to the um to the robot mowers? That was the first where we can. Okay. Okay. Can by B parks manager. Yeah, so our autonomous mowers that we have, those are field mowers. These are gonna be more like park greenbelt mowers. They're a lot bigger, they have three decks, so they mow a different type of grass in a different environment. Thank you. That's good. All right, moving on to item 10. Consider authorizing the city manager to enter into an agreement with United Labs, uh HD Supply Inc. doing business as blue booked HD core in Maine LLP uh pursuant to bid number 25-013 for water chemicals in an amount not to exceed 50,500 even annually for a total three-year contract not to exceed 151,500. So all of our wastewater crew, making sure there's that water is declorinated. Item number 11. Consider authorizing the city manager to enter into an agreement with Hub International Texas Inc. through the Equalis Group purchasing co-op for health and wellness benefits consulting and analysis services and an amount not to exceed $60,000 for the first year uh for a total two-year amount not to exceed $120,000. And I'm told we like these guys. You hear about a you do. Item number 12. Consider authorizing the city manager to execute a change order to the contract with CTJ maintenance for custodial services pursuant to RFP 19-017, increasing the the amount of the last renewal by an amount not to exceed 42,840 dollars for a total renewal amount of 805,680, increasing the six-year total contract value uh not to exceed 2,819 219, 819, 880 dollars even. Yes. Is this just an increase in cost or is it an increase in the amount that we have to have custodial service for? This is this will add the rosemeade expansion uh in addition, and it will take our contract that would end in April and extend it out to September to sync up our fiscal year cycle. Yeah, this one is an off-cycle renewal, so rather than dealing with that, putting it on a sub-period renewal, gets it on an annual um basis tied out to the budget. So we're doubling our contract amount for just the rose meat complex and six additional months of service.
