La Conner council accepts Washington Street improvement project
Summary
Council voted to accept the Washington Street/North Street project as complete and approved final acceptance, with discussion about remaining gravel and repairs.
The La Conner Town Council voted to accept the Washington Street/North Street improvement project as complete and approved final project acceptance at the council meeting.
During the discussion, council and staff members clarified issues about gravel staging and removal at the west side of Washington and who would pay for removal if the materials remained on site. Council members recorded that the contractor had asked to leave some gravel on site until return from vacation; staff said arrangements would be made and that removal would be handled as previously agreed.
A motion to approve project acceptance was made and seconded; the council approved the motion by voice vote. "I move to approve the project acceptance for Washington Street, North Street," a council member said; another council member seconded. The transcript records an "aye" vote.
Why it matters: Final acceptance typically closes the town’s formal construction contract and starts warranty and closeout obligations; staff noted the project improved walking conditions and added four parking spaces near the post office.
No dissent or roll-call tally beyond a recorded unanimous voice vote appears in the meeting transcript.
