Council reviews consent-agenda authorizations including summer-camp contracts, document-management change order and donations
At the meeting the mayor listed multiple consent-agenda authorizations slated for approval, including agreements for summer-camp services, a reversal of a legal-services contract assignment, a document-management change order for the building department, and donations to the Recreation Department.

The mayor said the authorization for the mayor to sign an agreement with Entertainment Bridal LLC (for a phone cannon for Camp Saradac) and an agreement with Jumping Bean Party Rental (sports activities for camp) were pending finance approval expected that day. The mayor also introduced addendum No. 1 to reverse a contract assignment with Johnson and Law LLC after the city’s insurance carrier assumed defense responsibility in Bueno Hill Investment v. City of Saratoga Springs. No formal roll-call votes on these items are recorded in the provided transcript.

The council also discussed change order SA0110-2262025 with ICC CDS LLC for $9,500 for scanned-image processing and conversion into the city’s Laserfiche (referred to as "laser vis" in the transcript) for building department files. The Recreation Department donations listed for approval included: Rotary Club of Saratoga, $3,000 for Camp Saratoga; Saratoga Springs Housing Authority, $2,360 (described as two full and one partial scholarship for Camp Saradac); and the Saratoga Youth Lacrosse Association donated two goals valued at $524.88. The mayor also mentioned payment authorization to La Bella Associates for $1,492.50 for Planning Board application review; the mayor said the expense occurred prior to a purchase order being issued.

Other items read into the record included award of plumbing maintenance bids (RFP 2025-14), purchases of pipes, fittings and hydrants from Ferguson Enterprises, and extensions or authorizations for city contracts with multiple vendors (BPI Mechanical Services and others listed later by the public-safety and public-works agendas). Several items were noted as “pending finance approval” or that contracts would be in place by the next meeting.

The transcript does not contain recorded votes for these consent-agenda authorizations in the provided excerpt; several items were described as pending finance approval or as time-only extensions with no added fees.
