14. A handout was provided at the meeting for Item No. 6.1.
City Manager Josh Nelson provided a staff report and spoke about the rain event in early December 2023, where emergency work was necessary at Tonner Canyon because the roadway collapsed and became impassable. Adopting this resolution would allow the City Manager to immediately procure any necessary equipment, services and supplies for an emergency without engaging in the competitive bidding process.
Mayor Moss announced she had received a speaker card from Samual B.V. to speak on this subject for one minute.
Samuel B.V. said he was a resident in this area adjacent to the City of Industry. He said he had concerns about the decision to hire a contractor without a bidding process. This area is surrounded by other communities and felt it was important to avail all the communities in this competitive bidding process. He then urged the Council not to sign this resolution.
There were no other questions from the audience. Council Member Ruggles did question if this was the same as the following Item No. 7.1, in which Josh Nelson said we would discuss next.
