Council approves resolutions, bills and records retirements and firefighter appointments

Council approved a bundle of resolutions (26‑243 through 26‑257, with 26‑257 adopted as amended) and voted to approve payment of bills as read by the clerk. During the agenda review the clerk said the amended resolution increases a contract amount from $99,347.74 to $121,500; the transcript also includes a figure read as a new total contract amount and a bills total, but the meeting record contains garbled numeric formatting. Council moved these items by motion and completed roll‑call votes for passage and payment.

Council members also noted personnel changes: the meeting recorded the retirements of Lieutenants McMani and Choppy and the appointment/recognition of senior firefighters Brian Pascal and Khan Masco. Members congratulated the retirees and new appointees before moving into an executive session under Resolution 26‑258.
