The Goodland City Commission on May 2024 approved several routine and substantive items, including adoption of updated building codes and multiple maintenance contracts and property actions.
In the meeting’s opening business the commission approved the consent agenda, which included the April 15, 2024 minutes and appropriation ordinances listed in the packet. Mayor Aaron Thompson announced there were no public comments before the vote.
The commission adopted ordinance 17-72 to incorporate the International Fuel and Gas Code and ordinance 17-73 to adopt the International Residential Code, changes staff said tailor building regulations for local residential construction. Zach, a city staff presenter, told commissioners the Fuel & Gas code packet contained a typographical error (article numbering) that was corrected on file; he said fees in the code were not changed.
Multiple procurement and maintenance items passed. The commission approved a $69,100 proposal from Viking Industrial Painting for targeted repairs to the power-plant water tank (roof, interior work and safety upgrades) after staff described lead-paint containment and scheduling constraints. The commission also accepted a JCI bid of $22,993 to replace the circulation pump and motor for Engine Unit 8 at the power plant to avoid potential outages during peak summer loads; Dustin Bedor, director of public power, described difficulty finding replacement parts for the unit’s 1972-era motor.
The body approved a sales agreement for Lot 3, Block 4 in the Goodland Industrial Park to Raul and Lisa Rodriguez for $30,000 and directed staff to proceed with closing and title work. Commissioners also approved a one-year mowing-contract award to Damon Record at $44 per hour.
All actions recorded in the meeting packet were approved by roll-call votes unless otherwise noted in the minutes. Several items discussed by staff (such as possible full repainting of the large water tower) were flagged as multi‑phase projects that would return to the commission for additional approvals if the scope or funding changed.
The commission closed with routine reports from the city manager and a schedule of upcoming agenda items.
