PURCHASE APPROVAL FOR COMMERCIAL WASHER/EXTRACTOR FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT Interim Fire Chief Mike Ganz explained that this is a request to purchase a commercial washer for the fire department. The department currently uses a residential washing machine that has traditionally used to wash protective outer gear, but it is not capable of extracting chemicals that the gear is commonly exposed to. This is a standard in the fire industry to have an extractor at the station to clean the gear. Acting Assistant Fire Chief John Meek stated that the residential washer is not designed to clean. Currently the firefighters send their gear out for professional cleaning twice a year per the operating procedures of the department. The intent of the extractor is to keep firefighters safe from chemicals that they have been exposed to and to extend the life of the bunker gear. The cost to send out the gear for cleaning is $50 per set minimum and currently the fire department is spending almost $7,000 per year on professional cleaning. Interim Chief Ganz stated that the gear will still need to be sent out for repairs and inspections, but that the purchase of the extractor will pay for itself within three years. Discussion followed regarding how many times the gear needs to be sent out for cleaning, the cost different, and different options for the department other than purchasing an extractor. Councilor Bieche asked what the cost of maintenance is for the extractor. Interim Chief Ganz answered that the extractor does come with a three year warranty for parts and labor. Discussion ensued regarding the cleaning length of time, the practices of other departments throughout the county, recommended uses of the extractor, and the pros and cons of an extractor versus a residential washing machine, and the possibility of traveling to Mount Vernon to launder the bunker gear with their extractors. A motion was made to approve the purchase of the washer/extractor from US Communities by Councilors Aslett/J. DeGloria. Councilors R. DeGloria/Edmundson/Loving/Montgomery in favor; Councilor Bieche opposed. Motion carried. CARD LOCK FUELING BID CONTRACT AWARD Finance Director Crystil Wooldridge reviewed the bid process that was used for the fuel bid contract. Initially one response was received that was thought to be a responsive bid, but after further research the bid was determined to be unresponsive due to the 9 COUNCIL CHAMBERS CITY HALL BURLINGTON, WA December 10, 2015 locations of the fueling stations. With the bid process a non-responsive bid is the same as no bid and there are two options at that point: 1. Extend the bid call or 2. Locate bid providers and negotiate terms. Associated Petroleum Products was the company that initially responded to the bid by the deadline, but the locations are outside of the city limits. Wooldridge stated that she then contacted Martin Fueling regarding bidding for fuel. The end result was that two providers, Associated Petroleum Products and Martin Fueling, agreed to contract with the city to provide fuel for 2016 – 2018. Martin Fueling cost of fuel is higher than Associated Petroleum Products, but their locations are within city limits, which is crucial for police and fire to stay in service. Wooldridge stated that the departments will have the ability to go to either location for fuel. Wooldridge also added that the current provider, Skagit Farmer Supply, was contacted, but they were not interested at this time due to station upgrades in 2016. A motion was made to award the card lock fueling bid contracts to Associated Petroleum Products and Martin Fueling and to authorize the Mayor’s signature by Councilors J. DeGloria/Loving. All in favor; motion carried. MAYOR’S 2016 COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS & RECOMMENDATIONS City Administrator Bryan Harrison stated that the Mayor had made his recommendations and council needs to confirm and assign councilors to the committees. Discussion followed regarding the recommendations made by the Mayor and the council’s desires. The following changes were made to the Mayor’s recommendations per council: Land Use: Chris Loving Traffic Safety: Bill Aslett SKAT Board: Rick DeGloria; Alternate: Joe DeGloria SCOG: Rick DeGloria A motion was made to accept the Mayor’s 2016 committee assignments with the discussed changes by Councilors Montgomery/Bieche. All in favor; motion carried. ADDED AGENDA ITEM #14 – APPROVAL FOR PURCHASE OF THREE CHEVROLET TAHOE POLICE VEHICLES Police Chief Bill Van Wieringen stated that the vehicles were approved in the 2016 budget process and that the vehicles are being purchased from the state contract. Finance Director Crystil Wooldridge stated that the vehicles were under budget and thanked Chief Van Wieringen for complying with the policy even though past practice hasn’t reflected the process. A motion was made to approve the purchase of the three Chevrolet Tahoe police vehicles budgeted in 2016 and authorize the Finance Department to issue a purchase order to Bud 10 COUNCIL CHAMBERS CITY HALL BURLINGTON, WA December 10, 2015 Clary Chevrolet for the purchase by Councilors Aslett/Loving. All in favor; motion carried. ADDED AGENDA ITEM #15 – POSSIBLE CHANGE OF DATE AND/OR CANCELLATION FOR DECEMBER 24, 2015 COUNCIL MEETING SCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER 22, 2015 DUE TO BMC 2.04 – COUNCIL MEETINGS City Administrator Bryan Harrison explained that the second regular council meeting of December is scheduled for Tuesday, December 22nd, 2015 per Burlington Municipal Code 2.04 – Council Meetings. Council has the authority to reschedule the meeting or cancel the council meeting. Finance Director Crystil Wooldridge added that if the council meeting is cancelled the council has the option to cancel the Audit & Finance Committee meeting as well, but committee members would need to review vouchers for payment. Councilor Aslett said that if the meeting were cancelled the committee would still review the vouchers for payment. A motion was made to cancel the December 22nd council meeting and approve payment of invoices due prior to the next council meeting on Thursday, January 14th, 2016 after review by the Finance Committee by Councilors R. DeGloria/Montgomery. All in favor; motion carried. ADDED AGENDA ITEM #16 – AGREEMENT WITH S.P.O.T (SAVING PETS ONE AT A TIME) Police Chief Bill Van Wieringen stated that this is an annual agreement with SPOT for the care and detention of stray animals. There have not been any changes made to the agreement from the previous agreement. Councilor J. DeGloria stated that there is an occurrence of higher cost that happens every once in a while and he feels that it would be best to have a cap of medical costs and to be notified if the cost will exceed the cap. Chief Van Wieringen stated that if there is an extreme case they are notified of the cost and determine how to handle the situation at that time, but that is very rare. Discussion ensued regarding the costs, circumstances, past practice, and how the city works with SPOT to determine what course to take regarding cost. Finance Director Crystil Wooldridge stated that council could approve the contract through February 29, 2016 in order for council to discuss where to cap the cost. It is best to have established limits and internal controls in place to acknowledge the cost. City Attorney Leif Johnson clarified the options that are within the agreement specifically that at any time either party can request changes to the agreement. 11 COUNCIL CHAMBERS CITY HALL BURLINGTON, WA December 10, 2015 A motion was made to enter into the agreement with SPOT as written for the care and detention of stray animals and to authorize the Mayor’s signature by Councilors Aslett/J.
