Council awards contract to finish senior center construction, asks for community garden electricity analysis

The City Council on Aug. 19 awarded a contract to complete construction of the senior center facility and directed staff to work with the community garden development to perform an electrical analysis and return contracts for council consideration.

The meeting record states the council “awarded a contract to finish out the construction of the senior center facility” but does not provide the contract amount, contractor name or a vote tally in the provided excerpt. The council also provided direction to staff to collaborate with the community garden development on an electricity analysis and to bring related contracts back to the council for consideration of any contribution.

The transcript does not indicate whether the council authorized immediate funding for the senior center contract or the community garden contribution, nor does it identify which department will manage contract negotiation or the timeline for returning contracts to the council.
