Belpre council authorizes contract with Washington Soil and Water Conservation District for stormwater assistance
Summary
Belpre City Council voted unanimously to authorize the mayor to sign a contract with the Washington Soil and Water Conservation District to provide technical stormwater-management assistance; resolution was passed after suspending the council’s multi-reading rule. Dollar amount and contract term were not specified in the meeting record.
Belpre City Council voted unanimously to authorize the mayor to sign a contract with the Washington Soil and Water Conservation District to supply technical stormwater-management assistance for the city.
The council approved the resolution after a council member moved the measure for second reading and the body later voted to suspend the rule requiring multiple readings so the item could be considered and passed the same night. Council roll calls recorded all “aye” votes for the suspension and for final passage.
The resolution directs the mayor to execute an agreement for the district to provide technical support on stormwater planning and management. The transcript does not specify a dollar amount, contract term, or start date; those details were not provided during the meeting and remain not specified.
Councilmembers who participated in the roll calls and are recorded in the meeting minutes include: Mister Ambrosi, Missus Dennis, Mister Ferguson, Missus Campbell, Mister Locke, Miss Riffle, Mister Seeball, Mister Law and Miss Bridal. The motion to place the resolution before council and subsequent motions to suspend rules and to adopt the resolution were made by a council member identified in the record as Mister Ambrosi; no second was recorded in the transcript excerpts provided.
The measure was recorded in the minutes as resolution number 24 (the numerical citation in the record is inconsistent and is also referenced as "2425" in portions of the transcript). The council’s action will allow the mayor to sign the contract; the transcript does not record when the contract will be executed or the exact scope of services to be provided by the district.
No public comment on the resolution or contract scope is recorded in the excerpt provided. The council’s next administrative steps implied by the vote are execution of the agreement by the mayor and administration of the technical assistance by the district and city staff; the transcript does not identify which city department will supervise the contract or any reporting requirements to council.
