Council approves FEMA‑reimbursable repair contract and renames Seahawk amenity; consent agenda passes with two items pulled
Summary
Council authorized a job‑order contract for FEMA‑reimbursable repairs and other local projects, approved renaming Seahawk Park to Seahawk Airfield at Festival Park, and approved the consent agenda after pulling two items for separate discussion.
The City Council approved a job‑order contract that bundles numerous repair and recovery projects, including FEMA‑reimbursable work and other city capital repairs, and approved renaming a Festival Park amenity to Seahawk Airfield at Festival Park.
Nut graf: Council voted unanimously on several procedural and contract items. Staff said the contract groups many smaller city repair projects into a single job‑order agreement to expedite work and maximize FEMA reimbursement. The council also approved a renaming request for a park amenity and moved the consent agenda forward after two items were pulled for discussion.
Resolution 399‑24: City staff explained that the proposed job‑order contract combines roughly $4.1 million in FEMA‑reimbursable projects and $2.9 million in other prioritized projects for a total of about $7.0 million of task orders under a state contract vehicle. Staff listed projects that include park repairs, pump station work and other infrastructure repairs arising from prior storm events. Council approved the resolution with a roll call showing eight ayes.
Consent agenda: Council approved the consent agenda after councilmembers pulled two items (resolution 105‑25 and another listed item) for separate discussion. The amended consent motion passed 8–0.
Seahawk renaming: The council approved Ordinance 11‑25 to rename Seahawk Park at Festival Park as “Seahawk Airfield at Festival Park.” The parks director said the Seahawk organization supported the change and described it as an internal naming of an amenity within the larger Festival Park campus. That ordinance passed on an 8–0 vote.
Ending: The council set public hearing dates for several other items and directed staff to proceed with the job‑order contract and the administrative steps needed for the approved renaming. Councilmembers asked staff to provide detailed project lists and FEMA claim files as work proceeds under the job‑order contract.
