What happened

The council approved 10 routine items on consent, including a $225,000 increase to expand the police vehicle outfitting contract to $455,000 total.

The council approved purchasing 15 new chairs for the council chambers from Keilhauer furniture. The current chairs at the dais need replacement, with the city buying 9 high-back and 6 medium-back chairs.

The council passed a resolution calling for federal extension of Temporary Protected Status for immigrants from countries facing war or natural disasters. The program allows these immigrants to live and work legally in the US but requires periodic renewal.

Other consent items included an $82,350 contract with LCP Tracker for software monitoring local hiring requirements and a $100,000 increase to an architect contract for on-call design services. Discussion of changes to state law on homemade food sales was continued to a future meeting.
