La Verne — The board reviewed routine consent items and several resolutions during the Jan. 29 workshop, including procurement for a communications-center remodel, grants and property actions tied to road and sewer projects.
Consent agenda highlights
- Emergency communications center remodel: Staff presented an OMNIA Partners contract purchase for an emergency communications center workspace remodel that includes nine Dell computers. When asked where dispatch would operate during construction, staff said the Rutherford Emergency Communications District in Murfreesboro has a backup dispatch facility available for use.
- Grants and contracts: The board reviewed Amendment No. 4 to grant contract 77833-150 with Save Tennessee (Department of Commerce and Insurance) for police recruitment and retention (no financial impact noted), and approval to apply for a U.S. Department of Justice grant to reduce injury and death of missing individuals with dementia and developmental disabilities (potential award up to $150,000 over 36 months).
- Right-of-way and appraisal work: A professional services agreement with Roby Kitchens for appraisal services related to the Fergus interceptor sewer project was presented; the cost for 11 tracts totaled $34,500. The board also reviewed a land-acquisition policy for the South Waldron Road widening project with multiple closings and some condemnations reported.
- Resolutions and appointments: The board noted routine resolutions to accept the Uptown Subdivision Lot 1 (Richland South LLC), declare city property surplus (vehicles and equipment), and appoint or reappoint members to boards and committees (including Brett Windrose to the Board of Zoning Appeals; terms for Felicia Anderson and Deborah Harding noted).
What’s next: These items were presented on the consent agenda at the workshop; individual items were scheduled to return for formal consideration or implementation through normal staff processes. No final votes on these consent items were reported in the workshop transcript.
Reporting note: All figures and program names are taken from the Jan. 29 workshop transcript and staff presentations.
