• What: Resolution 273-26 on funding the city fleet maintenance facility, whose cost came down about $14 million from its first estimate.
• Where it stands: approved 6-2 on October 21, 2026; Rachel Kaduk and Keith Long voted no.
• Next: a budget amendment will add the debt proceeds for the borrowed half.

Discussion

• Kaduk asked why half the cost is borrowed when $40.5 million in cash was set aside; finance staff said the debt portion is not yet in the budget and will come in a later amendment.
• A resident argued that about 80 percent of fleet work should be outsourced to local shops rather than built in-house.
