Council Member Phillips said he thinks it’s always in the best interest of the city to support local. Council Member Roddie agreed. Council Member Phillips moved to approve Resolution 2026-004 to enter into a finance Page 1|4 2|Page – Brady City Council Minutes May 19, 2026 contract with Government Capital Corporation for a total principal amount not to exceed $36,000 financing utilizing the interest rated offered by Brady National Bank. Seconded by Council Member Roddie. All Council Members voted “aye” and none “nay”. Motion passed with a 4 – 0 vote. C. Discussion, consideration and possible action regarding Resolution 2026-005 amending the Purchasing Policy. Lisa McElrath presented and said we had a presentation last month about our purchasing policies and procedures. The state increased their bidding threshold from the $50,000 to $100,000 requirement to get competitive bids. We are requesting we change our internal policy to the $100,000 threshold. Any purchase over $5,000 will still require 3 quotes. Council Member Owens moved to approve Resolution 2026-005 amending the City’s Purchasing Policy to increase the formal bidding threshold from $50,000 to $100,000. Seconded by Council Member Moreno. All Council Members voted “aye” and none “nay”. Motion passed with a 4 – 0 vote. D. Discussion, consideration, and possible action on rejection of bid received for an animal control facility including bid for pickleball court improvements. Steven Miller presented and said we had a bid opening for the animal control facility and pickleball courts. We had proposed using the tennis courts on 6th Street. We could fit four courts and proposed a grassy area and a sidewalk with lighting. For the Animal control facility, proposal was for 2,900 sq. ft., kennels, internal kennels, only 2,900 square feet of pre-engineered metal building. It was very surprising to get a bid of that magnitude. There is obviously a disconnect. We did ask in the process of receiving proposals for a breakout of their prices. Council Member Moreno moved to reject Catamount Constructors, Inc. bid as described herein. Seconded by Council Member Roddie. All Council Members voted “aye” and none “nay”. Motion passed with a 4 – 0 vote. E. Discussion, consideration, and possible action regarding approval of disposition of City-owned assets through the Public Surplus online auction (www.publicsurplus.com). Lisa McElrath presented.

Lisa said she doesn’t believe that we can. Council Member Moreno moved to approve the disposition of City-owned assets listed above and give the City Manager the authority to dispose of the confirmed city surplus property in the manner most advantageous to the City through the Public Surplus online auction (www.publicsurplus.com) or recycling. Seconded by Council Member Roddie. All Council Members voted “aye” and none “nay”. Motion passed with a 4 – 0 vote. F. Discussion, consideration and possible action approving interlocal agreement with McCulloch County for EMS services. Lisa McElrath presented. Lisa said we are recommending to remove the exclusion of Melvin in the agreement with the County. Melvin has not paid their portion, around $14,000, putting the burden of EMS services outside city limits back on the citizens of Brady. What we’re asking for is payment for those citizens outside the city limits who do not contribute to the city’s budget, but are in the McCulloch County tax base. We can’t expect our citizens to pay for Melvin’s service. Council Member Phillips said the issue is that Melvin is incorporated so legally the county can’t provide those services. Council Member Moreno said that was their (County’s) argument. Attorney Hicks said Melvin pays county taxes. The county can enter into an agreement stating that a portion of those taxes can cover their EMS expenses. They (Melvin and the County) can enter into an interlocal agreement. James Stewart said we’re back to the same argument and nothing has been resolved and reminded all that Council Member Moreno suggested splitting it three ways last year, but Melvin still balked at that. Further, the county can split that portion of the fee up among everyone in the county. Council Member Ownes said they could go up $10 on taxes for everyone in the county to cover it. Council Member Roddie said there are new commissioners now. Council Member Moreno said he agrees with adding that portion covering Melvin into the agreement. James said we can’t Page 2|4 3|Page – Brady City Council Minutes May 19, 2026 give it to them for free. Sharon said she thinks the city is being very generous with the current formula. Council Member Owens said that’s maybe how we need to present to the county. Council Member Moreno moved to approve interlocal agreement with McCulloch County for EMS services from October 1, 2026 – September 30, 2027. Seconded by Council Member Phillips. All Council Members voted “aye” and none “nay”. Motion passed with a 4 – 0 vote. G. Discussion, consideration, and possible action authorizing the mayor to execute an equipment lease purchase agreement for a D6 Dozer with Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation. ($562,170.60). Lisa McElrath presented. Council Member Phillips moved to approve Resolution 2026-006 authorizing the mayor to execute a lease-purchase agreement with Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation in the amount of $572,170.60. Seconded by Council Member Roddie. All Council Members voted “aye” and none “nay”. Motion passed with a 4 – 0 vote. I8. STAFF REPORTS A. Monthly Financial / Utility Reports B.
