The Palmview City Council meeting on December 3, 2024, focused on the approval of engineering firms for disaster recovery projects. The council reviewed and scored submissions from four engineering firms, with SWG Engineering receiving the highest score of 385, followed by M2 Engineering at 370, TriMet Consultants at 361, and Casino Homes at 245.

The selected engineering firms will provide services related to disaster recovery plans, which may include drainage projects, street paving, or equipment projects. The council emphasized the importance of these projects for improving the city's infrastructure.

During the meeting, members discussed the uncertainty surrounding grant funding for these projects, noting that they are in the process of applying for a minimum of $500,000. Council members expressed optimism about securing the necessary funding to support the city’s infrastructure improvements.

The motion to approve the engineering firms as ranked was passed unanimously, and the meeting concluded shortly after. The council plans to keep the community updated on the progress of the grant application and the subsequent projects.
