Notable Consent Agenda Items
Total of $10,991,384 of your money in proposed expenses
-
Item (a): $2,542,445 for Sanitary Sewer Rehab for the repair of 25,650 linear feet of trenchless sewer pipe. If you think this sounds like a lot, you’re right, but do YOU want to climb down there and fix it?
-
Item (b): $284,164 for a Digital Evidence Management System for the police department. So don’t commit any crimes, ’cause we’ll be able to more easily track the evidence
-
Item (c): $442,744 for Plano Courtyard Theater Performance Lighting Upgrade
-
Item (d): $730,170 for thermal lining and props for the new Fire Training Facility (some have questioned the need for the fire training facility as there’s one in McKinney; that right there is the need–we have to get in the queue with other area fire departments to use that training facility, and if there’s a call or inclement weather on the day we’re scheduled, too bad, so sad, get back in the queue for another day)
-
Item (e): $2,442,179 for sidewalk improvements on Plano Parkway from Independence to Alma. I’d much rather do this than sewer repair. Anyone wanna go halves with me?
-
Item (f): $2,199,737 for a 5 year contract for Emergency Services Internet Protocol (ESInet) network
