What happened
The council approved a $30,858 extension for Doherty's truck rental to help Housing Authority maintenance crews. The previous truck was stolen and vandalized, leaving crews without transportation to respond to work orders and clean up illegal dumping at public housing sites.
The council also hired an environmental consultant for $14,960 to enable housing repairs at Nystrom Village. The previous environmental review had expired, blocking access to federal capital grant funding for needed apartment repairs.
The council approved routine Housing Authority items in a single vote. These administrative items typically include contracts, budget adjustments, and operational decisions.
The meeting lasted only 10 minutes, with all items passing unanimously and Melvin Willis absent.
