Held in the GEC league room.

Then we have uh Alder Logan and myself here.

Donald is not here tonight.

Public appearances for non-agenda items.

We do not have any.

So that brings us to the consent agenda, which includes approval of minutes and approval of routine licenses.

We have a motion to approve.

I will move to approve the consent agenda.

Okay.

No,

I do not have any either.

Call the vote on favor of the consent agenda signified by saying aye.

Aye.

Consent agenda passes.

Next we have uh uh for alpha approval of resolution ordinance resolution R 2025, mending the 2025 general fund budget for fire vehicle maintenance.

I'll move approval of this one.

And we'll turn it over to you.

Uh yeah, this is just uh borrowing from some of our other funds to pay for our projected vehicle maintenance costs throughout the end of the year.

Uh it's been a rough year, similar to last year, um, with some unexpected repairs.

Um, unfortunately, that's just a part of the fire truck life.

Um, so we were able to pull

from these

accounts uh to put $18,600 towards vehicle maintenance, and hopefully that will cover us the rest of the year.

Um

I

don't want to say anything about being hopeful or anything like that because it'll jinx us.

Uh but we were able to use money.

Um, some of these larger dollar amounts uh were due to these the money was available to do some pricing issues, which caused us surplus, as well as uh not bringing on as many staff as was projected in uh savings and the uniform costs.

So uh luckily that was there to be able to help us out in this situation.

Well,

my one question was going to be about uh looking forward, but if we don't want to jinx it, we will I will zip my lips too.

Uh I don't we only have 46 bucks left a year for later, so I don't wear 43.

Oh I think we lost three dollars.

Oh man.

So

we added 10,000 for next year.

Um hopefully uh that works out.

Um, you know, each year that a fire truck ages, that you know they measure it by cost per mile and maintenance.

So um it does go up.

So we want to be really proactive and make sure we're not we aren't making mistakes that are causing this.

Yeah, we're committed to that.

Thank you for asking those those questions.
