Hudson Finance Committee September 8, 2026

The Hudson Finance Committee met September 8, 2026, and approved claims totaling $3,079,840.16. The largest identified items included approximately $1 million in principal and interest payments on the 2024A and 2024B bond offerings and $654,000 for public works and police facilities. Members also discussed roughly $10,000 in pole-light repairs, noting that the city pays for repairs upfront and tracks costs for reimbursement through the responsible party’s insurance or the relevant fund.

The committee approved service contracts for the new police department building. The contracts cover cleaning, HVAC and plumbing, lawn care, and snow removal; the HVAC and plumbing proposal was from Steiner. Integrity Cleaning was recommended over the lower-priced Dun-Rite based on prior dissatisfaction with Dun-Rite’s service. Contract amounts were not stated; the agreements are annual, with a 30-day written termination clause. Members called for comparing contracted maintenance with in-house staffing and considering a broader approach to facility and lawn maintenance in the 2027 budget.
