Council approves agenda, vouchers and final reading of utility-deposit ordinance
Summary
At its April 21 meeting, the Woodland City Council unanimously approved the meeting agenda, authorized voucher payments tied to the Reservoir 4 loan draw and adopted Ordinance 15-71 amending utility deposit rules.
The Woodland City Council unanimously approved the meeting agenda, authorized voucher payments tied to the Reservoir 4 loan draw and adopted Ordinance 15-71 on second and final reading at its April 21 meeting.
The council voted to approve the agenda after a motion by Council Member Rounds and a second from Council Member Dowdy; roll-call votes recorded all members present voting "Aye." The vouchers were approved following a motion from Council Member Burke and a second from Council Member Dowdy; Council members again voted unanimously. Council discussion identified a $1,300,000 invoice draw against a low-interest loan for the Reservoir 4 water project as included in the vouchers.
On the ordinance, identified in the agenda as Ordinance 15-71 and described as amending WMC sections on utility deposits, the council held a second and final reading, then voted to adopt the ordinance. Council members recorded unanimous "Aye" votes on the final-reading motion.
Why it matters: the voucher approval released funds for a significant water project draw and the ordinance changes City Municipal Code provisions governing utility deposits; both have direct implications for city finances and utility customers.
