property that is owned by the City at 702 E. 11th Street. This was previously the location of APA however

0.th Street.
3. Michael O'Brien-Decision on Quotes for the purchase of two(2)vehicles for the HR Director and IT
Director—Mr. Merkley advised last week they reviewed quotes for vehicles for IT,which were accepted,
however there were issues with the quotes for HR. They now have three quotes for a 2024 Ford Escape.
The first quote is from Heritage in the amount of$31,200,the second quote is from Jim O'Neil in the
amount of$32,675,and the third quote is from Bill Collins Ford in the amount of$34,068.68. The low
quote is from Heritage in the amount of$31,200.
Mr. Miles made the motion to accept the low quote from Heritage Ford in the amount of$31,200 and Mr.
Crouch seconded the motion,motion passed 3-0.
4. Angie Wielage-Request for Renewal of City Health Insurance—Mr. Merkley said this was for renewal of
the Health Insurance. Insurance costs continue to increase everywhere. The City's hands are tied to lower
those costs because of the collective bargaining agreements between Police and Fire. This renewal would
be an increase of 7%for the claims which is within the industry range. There would be an increase of 35%
for the Stop Loss Gap due to the large claims they have out there. This renewal will keep the insurance
with UMR and have the same benefits and is recommended by the Insurance Committee.
Mr.Crouch made the motion to approve the renewal and Mr.Miles seconded the motion, motion passed
3-0.
Mayor Moore wished Katie Sutter a Happy Birthday.
