North Bend council authorizes mayor to sign interlocal agreement to end dispute, secure food services
Summary
At its October meeting the North Bend City Council approved an interlocal agreement authorizing the mayor to sign a contract with a food-service partner, a move council members said is intended to resolve pending litigation and avoid a scheduled mediation.
At its October meeting, the North Bend City Council voted unanimously to authorize the mayor to sign an interlocal agreement with a food-service provider, moving to resolve related litigation and avoid an upcoming mediation. The council approved agenda bill 25-087 after a brief discussion and an executive session.
The motion, read by a staff member, moved "to authorize the mayor's sign together local agreement between the city of North Bend and Sears of Guam for food service." The motion was moved by member Timpali and seconded by Mr. Vincent. Council members voted "aye" and the motion passed unanimously; the transcript does not record individual roll-call votes.
City staff told the council the agreement is intended to bring the cities' relationship and related litigation to a respectful close and said they hope the North Bend council will approve the agreement and thus avoid mediation scheduled for the 26th. Council members indicated the measure would allow the two cities to move forward with future opportunities, including collaboration on food services.
The council conducted an executive session before the vote pursuant to RCW 42.30.110 to discuss matters permitted under that statute. The meeting paused for the executive session and resumed afterward; the transcript records the executive session being extended and the public meeting resuming before the vote.
Officials also noted administrative details for public comment: comments on the interlocal agreement were required to be made in person or submitted by email per the clerk's announcement on the record.
No funding amounts, contract start dates, termination clauses, or specific service-level details appear in the transcript. The interlocal agreement was identified in the meeting paperwork as agenda bill 25-087. The council did not record additional amendments or follow-up tasks on the record during this meeting.
With the vote, the council approved execution of the interlocal agreement and adjourned the meeting.
