The Centralia City Council approved several routine and ordinance items during the March 25 meeting. Key outcomes:
- Consent agenda approved (7‑0). The consent agenda included routine items and a contract amendment to remove nine high‑risk trees at Borst Park (Parks presentation). City staff said the average removal cost for a large tree is roughly $3,000.
- Mayor's appointments to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board confirmed (7‑0). The council confirmed Hallie Rawls, Owen Sharp (youth representative) and Raymond Sills to four‑year terms; their first meeting is scheduled for April 14.
- Ordinance 2562 (turf field maintenance and replacement fund) adopted on second reading (7‑0). Staff reported no changes since first reading; council approved final adoption on a voice vote.
Other items: the council approved the first reading of Ordinance 2563 (net‑metering) earlier in the meeting; that item will return for a second reading with implementation details. No votes were recorded on the TBD renewal; staff proposed bringing a May resolution to place a renewal on the November ballot and the council did not vote on that proposal at this meeting.
Votes were recorded by voice and roll call where required; mover names were not read into the record for each motion shown in the transcript. All recorded votes noted in the meeting passed unanimously (7‑0).
