La Center council adopts Clark County solid‑waste plan, authorizes roofing change orders under budget

The La Center City Council voted on June 11 to adopt the Clark County Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan (Resolution 487) and authorized change orders to two roofing contracts covering city hall and the public works garage.

Mayor Pro Tem Casper moved to adopt Resolution 487 to adopt the county solid‑waste plan after staff reported that city collection rates remained the same or decreased following a county bid process. In a roll‑call vote the council approved the resolution; one councilmember was excused.

Tracy Coleman summarized three proposed roofing change orders with Triton Commercial Roofing. Staff said the city originally budgeted $250,000 for roofing work; initial awarded bids were approximately $46,000 for city hall and $38,000 for the garage. As the roofs were removed, staff identified additional rotten perimeter and sub‑board that required replacement, and staff recommended upgrading the synthetic membrane to a higher‑grade product, installing oversized gutters and downspouts, and installing new fascia and related repairs. Change orders totaled roughly $35,000 across both contracts (about $21,000 for city hall perimeter repairs and $14,000 for the garage), bringing the combined contract total to approximately $140,000 — about $107,000 under the adopted budget, Coleman said.

The council moved and approved authorization for the additional spending; the vote passed without recorded opposition. City staff said the work is intended to address active leaks and improve long‑term maintenance and to add a 3‑inch pipe for a future conversion for restroom plumbing at the garage.

Both matters were presented as staff recommendations; the council approved the plan adoption and the contract amendments during the meeting.
