Council authorizes mayor to sign Verizon Wireless agreement for city service

The council voted to authorize the mayor to sign a Verizon Wireless agreement intended for city cellphone/service needs.

The Chair introduced agenda item 15 o 4 24, saying the agreement had been circulated. Committee member asked whether the agreement covered in-building service or employee lines; the exchange included a date reference, "03/2025." Committee member moved to "have the mayor sign" the agreement and the Chair seconded. The Chair then called the vote; members said "Aye," and the motion passed 3 to 0.

The transcript records the discussion as a standard authorization for the mayor to sign the contract; members confirmed the substance as a city cellphone/service arrangement. Staff (Brandon Sims, IT, referenced in the meeting) had circulated the agreement in advance but was not present for the committee discussion.

The approval authorizes the mayor to execute the agreement; no vendor price or contract term details were discussed on the record at the committee meeting. The council moved on to other business after the vote.
