Council approves up to $50,000 for 2025 festival grounds grading and dust control
Summary
Council authorized V3 Construction to perform grading and maintenance for the 2025 festival grounds not to exceed $50,000 (Resolution 25‑045); staff said the work will add limestone screenings, correct low areas and apply dust control treatments.
The council approved a proposal for V3 Construction to perform grading and maintenance at the 2025 festival grounds, not to exceed $50,000, as part of preparations for the 2025 Okanel Days event. The motion passed on roll call.
Staff said the work is intended to address low areas revealed by recent rains, add approximately an inch of fine aggregate or limestone screenings in problem spots, and apply a dust control product once the material is placed. Staff compared the proposed limestone screenings favorably to prior materials that generated more dust and said last year’s intended work was not completed; the current contract will remedy identified low spots and reduce dust.
Why it matters: the contract funds routine maintenance to keep the festival grounds usable and to limit dust generation during events. The work also preserves the city’s investment in the festival site and prepares it for summer programming.
Next steps: Public Works will schedule the grading and screening work as soon as contractor availability and weather allow; staff indicated the dust‑control application will follow installation of the limestone screenings.
