1019 2026 City Council Meeting

The Sedalia City Council meeting was held October 19, 2026. Council approved Bill 2026-121 authorizing an agreement for independent audit services for fiscal years 2027–2029, following an RFP that received five proposals; the selected provider and contract amount are not clear in the transcript. Council also approved Bill 2026-122, an $11,000 amendment to the Tyler Technologies ERP agreement for customer and invoice data conversion. For a proposed graveside shelter at Crown Hill Cemetery, four bids exceeded the interested family’s proposed contribution, and council approved rejecting all bids.

Council authorized the police department to apply for the federal Patrick Leahy Bulletproof Vest Partnership grant. The FY2028 vest purchase was estimated at $15,828, with about $7,920 in federal reimbursement and a $7,908 city share. The city clerk’s presentation discussed possible future expenses—a roughly $48,000 estimate for recodifying the city code and $6,500–$7,000 for a microfilm reader—but no purchase or funding action was taken on those items. Public comments raised concerns about Bothwell Hospital; no related procurement action was identified.
