Consent agenda passes; committees report on purchasing, surplus property and vehicle contracts

Committee reports and a consent agenda accounted for several routine but consequential county actions on Sept. 28. Committees recommended perfection or adoption on zoning amendments, procurement contracts, surplus property declarations and vendor appointments; several of those items were added to the consent agenda and adopted by roll call.

Notable committee reports included a 24‑month contract (with a 12‑month extension option) for off‑road and specialty tires with Pomps Tires Tire Service Inc. of Kansas City, and a 24‑month sole‑source software maintenance contract for COMBAT databases with 1st Call Technologies LLC of Kansas City at a cost of $182,435. The land‑use committee reported and held items on proposed surplus real property and will solicit bids where required.

When the clerk called the consent agenda, the body approved ordinances 6,130, 6,132, 6,133 and 6,134 and resolutions 22,406, 22,410, 22,411 and 22,412 by recorded roll (8 yes, 1 abstain). Several items will be implemented under committee direction and vendor contracts will move to procurement and execution steps.
