At its June 22 meeting the Upland City Council recorded the following formal actions and roll-call votes:
- Consent package: The council approved a multi-item consent package (items a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,k,m,n,o,q,r,s,t,u,v) after pulling items J, L and P for separate discussion. Motion by Council member Garcia; second by Council member Zuniga; roll-call approval recorded.
- Item J (park restroom cleaning contract): After discussion and a staff commitment to added oversight (photo verification, more inspections, meeting with the vendor), the council approved a one-year extension. Staff estimated the annual contract amount at roughly $90,000'$95,000 covering 13 restrooms; staff cited a contract termination provision allowing seven days' notice. Motion by Council member Zuniga; second by Council member Garcia; approved by roll call.
- Item L (solar panel cleaning services contract): Council discussed a recital that appeared to contain a typo and requested a release-of-liability form when work occurs on private property; staff confirmed the graffiti contractor already uses a waiver. Council moved and approved the item.
- Item P (police vehicle purchase): A council member asked about funding for a Chevy Equinox for the police department; staff said AQMD funds will pay the purchase and no general-fund dollars are required. Council approved the item by roll call.
- Item 13a (city manager employment agreement amendment): The council approved the sixth amendment to the city manager's contract, applying a 3% cost-of-living adjustment consistent with other managers and increasing the city manager's base salary by $8,792. City attorney Thomas Thomas Rice presented the amendment. Motion made and seconded; roll-call approval recorded.
- Closed session: The city attorney reported that closed session on the two listed items produced no reportable action.
These votes preserve continuity of city services while staff implement oversight steps for the restroom contract and continue routine procurement and personnel actions.
