Special Council Minutes of 12-22-2020 Councilman Brossard Chairman of the Public Safety, Health & Welfare Committee: The Public Safety, Health & Welfare Committee met on Tuesday, December 22, 2020 at 7:01 p.m. Present were committee members Brossard, Williamson and Limpert; Councilmembers Glassburn, Hemann, Kelly and Schumann; Council President Jones; Mayor Kennedy, Director of Finance Copfer, Director of Human Resources Gallo, Director of Law Gareau, Director of Planning and Community Development Lieber and guests. • Discussed was Resolution 2020-147. A Resolution authorizing the Mayor to purchase two (2) 2021 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor vehicles at a cost of $65,508.00 through the State Purchase Program; and further authorizing the Mayor to execute all contract documents. The Mayor said these are a total of $65,508, meaning they are $32,754 each. It is a decrease in price of $500 each over last year's prices. However, because these vehicles have a new body style, it will require approximately $8,000 to $10,000 each to retrofit. The work will be done internally. The committee voted 3-0 to recommend to Council. • Discussed next was Resolution 2020-148.
