West Richland council approves consent agenda including four resolutions, five contracts
Summary
The council unanimously approved the April 15 consent agenda, which set public hearings for three vacation/abandonment items, authorized engineering and consultant contracts, and authorized acceptance of a Department of Commerce climate grant contract.
The West Richland City Council approved the consent agenda at its April 15 meeting, adopting resolutions to set public hearings and authorizing multiple city contracts.
Mayor Pro Tem Fred Brink called for approval of the consent agenda, and a council member moved and a second followed. “All in favor, please say aye,” the meeting record shows; no members opposed and the motion carried.
Why it matters: The consent package advances land-use public hearings and moves consultants and engineering work into contract phase, clearing administrative steps that allow project design and grant execution to proceed.
Items included in the consent agenda (action taken April 15): - Resolution 18-25: Set public meeting for VACA-002-2025 (Heath Richter). (Set for public hearing; first action recorded.) - Resolution 19-25: Set public hearing for VACA-001-2025 (Wassney). - Resolution 20-25: Set public hearing for VACA-003-2025 (WOSME). - Motion authorizing mayor to execute an engineering services contract with JUB for the wastewater treatment plant facility plan. - Motion to approve contract with the Washington State Department of Commerce for a Climate Commitment Grant. - Motion to approve contract with Transpo for the transportation element of the comprehensive plan update. - Motion to approve contract with Burke Consulting for the comprehensive plan update.
Council did not discuss these items individually at length during the meeting; the record shows the consent agenda was approved as presented. The items that set public hearings will be brought back on their specified public-notice schedules; engineering and consultant contracts can be executed as allowed by the contract language.
