City staff said the Lions Park event is planned as a combined dedication, market kickoff and community celebration with vendor setup beginning early and a program starting in the afternoon. The agenda discussed a land welcome, a possible national anthem performance, a Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting, and family activities such as a fishing derby and water‑balloon activity. Staff noted they would correct some published start-time inconsistencies before final invitations went out.

On the Youth Advisory Commission, staff said commission members will present to council on May 6 and will recommend next steps, including a proposed sister-city relationship. The youth have researched potential international partners and are exploring exchanges that could include art and pen‑pal programs, shared recreation events and student involvement. Staff reported they had sought documentation from the City of Walla Walla on their sister-city process as a model and that some regions proposed by youth relate to historical migration patterns from communities tied to College Place families.

Council members discussed possible promotional opportunities, involvement of local schools and Whitman College, and the tourism and cultural benefits of sister-city ties. The council was asked to be prepared at a future meeting to consider formal approval of a sister-city relationship if the Youth Advisory Commission brings a specific recommendation. No formal council action was taken on either item on April 22.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council 4.22.25","oneSentenceSummary","Council received administrative reports on an upcoming Lions Park dedication and the Youth Advisory Commission's work, including research on possible sister-city relationships and a planned presentation to council on May 6.","taxTitle","College Place, Walla Walla County, Washington","taxId",59219,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6264307,"College Place OKs agreements for two food trucks, sets schedule and site conditions",684,1728000,2412000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3097970-bc3dcd4b6060a61fba5162c27b29e506&start=1728&end=2412","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3097970-bc3dcd4b6060a61fba5162c27b29e506/thumbnail_1728000.jpg","/articles/6264307/College-Place/Walla-Walla-County/Washington/College-Place-OKs-agreements-for-two-food-trucks-sets-schedule-and-site-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6264307-c8a1fbffc1667db5c7df7188274ad86d/orig.mp4?Expires=1775724065&Signature=hBuKq8I6-NoyYbTVWijY0HmLsvTEOmHMI9Hde--ckqHcNzlzyqhbdibs0rE~HEKqOgq1XNS7nw4Cj2TO8Mnq6svaJqx-eyeWHZiP9GI-LIF-1kOpYJg7DMm3QGJNt2JZ4r3Ivb1pNfYnWt-nMUPXV1cdvnnOJUuW69MieMVWVCVs6j6nIYNwJoDC4d-AL0V~IcuuGeebv8bSIZAxqCbAIj4QTpQecy9JvC-mZPWj~SazBhEpsEGztgV5-z4Be8FiGwrQizivvh2JUhzanWpb-US7Nlq5wOgDgP0Xb0o6nVjdeUunnQR-oVmEewU4ANRwLDdYqA34Xdz~vk0R4LUGXg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The College Place City Council on April 22 approved two resolutions authorizing the mayor to sign agreements allowing two food trucks to use the City Municipal Complex parking lot on a recurring schedule.

Smoke and Bandits (also referenced as Smokin' Bandits in the discussion) is authorized to occupy parking spaces Monday through Wednesday from about 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. under an agreement discussed as a recurring slot; the contract language in the transcript references a rent of \"$350 a month plus 25\" (as stated in council discussion). Garcia said the truck may plug into power at the site but has historically also used a generator. The city and council discussed loaning tables and chairs as done previously for past vendors; staff said some tables and chairs remain available.

Carrie's Trinidadian Cuisine was authorized to use the lot mainly for evening shifts and will occupy different days so that both vendors do not conflict; Garcia said Carrie's rent is $25 less than the Smoke and Bandits rate and that Carrie's will remove its own trash and not use city trash receptacles. The council noted the city could accommodate multiple trucks — staff estimated space for roughly four in the front area and possibly four to five additional spots after future park engineering — and discussed providing signed parking to reserve staff spaces.

City Attorney commentary clarified that the reader board in front of City Hall could be made available to vendors as part of an agreement only if the city receives adequate compensation (i.e., not a sham or $1 contract) and the arrangement complies with gifting rules. Council members encouraged staff to develop fair criteria if additional vendors apply; several council members supported encouraging the university student body to patronize the vendors.

Motions approving Resolution 25-030 (Smoke and Bandits) and Resolution 25-031 (Carrie's Trinidadian Cuisine) were seconded and approved by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.","The council approved two resolutions authorizing use of the municipal complex parking lot by Smoke and Bandits and Carrie's Trinidadian Cuisine, specifying days, times, rent terms and site conditions; the city attorney advised on advertising rules for vendors.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6264312,"College Place council authorizes surplus of 60 chairs, 11 sandwich boards and one TAC 511 machine",283,1427000,1710000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3097970-bc3dcd4b6060a61fba5162c27b29e506&start=1427&end=1710","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3097970-bc3dcd4b6060a61fba5162c27b29e506/thumbnail_1427000.jpg","/articles/6264312/College-Place/Walla-Walla-County/Washington/College-Place-council-authorizes-surplus-of-60-chairs-11-sandwich-boards-and-one-TAC-511-machine","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6264312-0971a6df5f4006d623fe849dd75b61cf/orig.mp4?Expires=1775724065&Signature=ksfSceLh2hS5eX1WZm-tQnlkRShZG7DDKXV-Ppko8HpzPZQx--eB6XfHyEEAsTAyTnT0dO~wf37qktTHQqw6RbJ15ynmpXins6DBkpJO8-rj1DN2akqnO8zy6EaB1fX8G4L~lQ5u9E-fyC7ANumDgW4kwc0i8l5xVwP~25y3cNCadGU4HS3LYhdzL7sz1AR5Nzj2wp~wRZVtVxd3uAGB9tzSstf-miSmSuxwQ6Cw3FtOA-DDwFCWm9GsfqJTRtzW51uKPwnfQSMqC4vR49HlQ0HdE-qfgqBzFdrR4o0S6qtJp0riLqLLv0GW98P6YMyMIdyk8pZUIoauWdJsMODUfA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The College Place City Council on April 22 approved Resolution 25-029 authorizing the surplus of 60 chairs, 11 sandwich boards and a TAC 511 tack machine.

Staff member Ms. Garcia described the items as older meeting-room chairs, two sets of sandwich boards (some newer and some previously used for taped posters) and an older piece of equipment identified in the transcript as a “TAC 511” tack machine used historically for road crack sealing. Garcia said the tack machine will be handled through a surplus auction process; the sandwich boards and chairs could be offered first to other government agencies through the Association of Washington Cities surplus buy board and then auctioned or donated if unsold.

Council members asked procedural questions about the surplus process, potential reuse by other agencies, and whether items could be donated; Garcia said there are reserve rates and established processes, and donations can follow if the buy board does not move the items. A motion to approve Resolution 25-029 passed by voice vote without recorded opposition.

The resolution directs staff to follow established surplus and auction procedures; the transcript records the resolution number and the items approved for surplus but does not list a sale price or timeline in public comment.","Council approved Resolution 25-029 to surplus 60 former chamber chairs, 11 sandwich boards and a TAC 511 tack machine so the items can be transferred, auctioned, or sold through surplus channels.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6264317,"College Place council approves $1.5 million contract amendment for Phase 1B of wastewater plant",195,1196000,1391000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3097970-bc3dcd4b6060a61fba5162c27b29e506&start=1196&end=1391","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3097970-bc3dcd4b6060a61fba5162c27b29e506/thumbnail_1196000.jpg","/articles/6264317/College-Place/Walla-Walla-County/Washington/College-Place-council-approves-15-million-contract-amendment-for-Phase-1B-of-wastewater-plant","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6264317-10bf9e8144d7462049fe8fd1a8549c97/orig.mp4?Expires=1775724065&Signature=h3grOuG6B1o5l7vu8oLMRzzOi0Q49mYpkClmRUnZv92GC6Yrxn4e9EYYcna6O~FMQcpHYl0RGlLrG9j4TSy4hCfe~bxvmsQTU7qIAWbNLV7gYZY5iqxYr6YFxLutRSU~t7ZIOhCqLcqEw-4v28zQsZ4XAmygvYC5BuCSUzEKdKS3VoiEuKXJ4wHhvbPNUrSz4Mm7DC2xmfpFr0FlzzzzSp6WbYGzcbxkXWmd0-CwSmqoY27JKbw8X6xx2HoXQchzRg3P2V6igMGqCl6LXr4~HnLAt1rJ0F4gU39XjTJXa-mNatFDydJypBZhtzE01tdHrslHYUV4RaZO5xiqnGXq7g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The College Place City Council on April 22 authorized the city administrator or designee to sign a contract amendment with JUB Engineers for time-and-materials construction management services for the wastewater treatment plant Phase 1B project, not to exceed $1,500,000.

City Administrator Mike Rizzatello told the council the Phase 1B work includes excavation to create a large storage basin for treated effluent, construction observation, repackaging of bids, and permitting work including dam-safety requirements. He said Phase 1A focused on replacing equipment while Phase 1B will create additional storage capacity prior to creek discharge.

Rizzatello said the project financing is a package that includes a Washington State Department of Ecology grant, sewer lining and lift station work, and congressional-directed spending. He identified a $3.5 million congressional allocation from Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers as “still in play” and said the broader financing package from Ecology and other sources totals more than $26 million.

Council members asked clarifying questions about cost and funding; no member opposed. A motion to authorize the amendment was seconded by Council Member Williams and approved by voice vote.

The amendment covers construction management services on a time-and-materials basis; the contract will be administered by the city administrator or designee. No vote tally was recorded in the public transcript and no additional conditions on the amendment were reported.","The City Council authorized the city administrator to sign a time-and‑materials contract amendment with JUB Engineers not to exceed $1.5 million for construction management services tied to the wastewater treatment plant Phase 1B project.","actionData","errors"]
