Um item number uh five, just FYI polled. Um we will not be doing that presentation out of the dias. Um moving on to item number eight approval of the February 17th regular meeting minutes. Any comments or edit suggestions? All right, this is item number nine and ten. We're gonna go through a presentation on this um in a moment. Um let me finish the others and then we'll come back to those two items. Number 11, consider authorizing the city manager to enter into an agreement with catapult staffing, LLC through DIR purchasing co-op for staffing services and amount not to exceed a million two. Any questions on this? Yes, there was something about one million came from one place, and two hundred thousand came from a second place, and my question had to do with the two hundred thousand, but I haven't pulled up my agenda yet. I think it was work orders or something. Record management. 200,000 is for the records management software, which is really in Chloe's area. So is it a person or is it for the software? That's what it's multiple people, so we use it to augment our staff. Like uh we don't have the luxury of having dedicated project people, so we share our operational people with projects. So let's say, for instance, we need more resources that are heavier in programming. We'll just use that bundle of money to go after that. But we also have uh business process reviewing that's going on in multiple departments to fix some of the antiquated software that still remains today. We're currently paying for two people out of the records management project. Oh okay. I didn't know if it was the software or the people, so this the 1.2 million is all people. And are they here or are they off-site somewhere? They're a combination of sometimes we ask them to come in, sometimes they're off-site, but they're all C just background check for security. One year contract. Yeah, we go year to year with it, so we don't want to you know do a multi-year and not have to use that route that that money, but uh labor's going up, so we try to do as much as we can. We've already sunseted a couple of contractors from in the past because we really we couldn't use our services anymore, and then that makes some room for some new services that we're gonna be able to do in the future. We're gonna have a um work session on this as requested. Um it wasn't already for this meeting, but okay. Uh, it'll be a follow-up meeting where we'll go through the various projects and this staffing is all management for those projects. Thank you. Um, consider authorizing the city manager to enter into an agreement with bound three medical uh pursuant to interlocal agreement with city of Midlothian for RFP 10.2025 underscore one and two zero two five-28 emergency medical systems EMS supplies and an amount not to exceed 250,000 dollars annually for a five-year total not to exceed a million two fifty. I'm just curious as to how we partnered with Mythlothian being so far away. Is it it's by board stuff in interlocal agreements? Go ahead where they've already negotiated it. Michael Thompson fire chief. Yes, this is a interlocal agreement with multiple smaller cities. Uh, because the cost of EMS supplies continues to go up, we partnered together to get that price down.
