Summary

At the Nov. 12 meeting the council approved the consent agenda (items 1–8), authorized easements for a roundabout at SR 9/John Liner, approved two park caretaker contracts (Olmsted and Riverfront), added and held an executive session on pending litigation, and scheduled follow-up on a budget amendment.

The Sedro-Woolley City Council took several formal actions on Nov. 12 during a regularly scheduled meeting.

Consent agenda: The council approved the consent agenda (items 1 through 8) by voice vote. That approval included routine personnel and administrative items placed on consent.

Easements for roundabout: Council authorized deed and dedication for right-of-way and site-distance easements for two city-owned corner parcels at State Route 9 and John Liner/McGargile Road. Public Works explained the easements establish consistent corner geometry and sightlines to support the roundabout and future parcel sales; poles for a lighted crosswalk are due in mid-December.

Parks caretaker agreements: The council approved two caretaker contract agreements (2025225CN and 2025226CN) to staff Olmsted Park and Riverfront Park. Public Works described an internal reassignment and a normal interview process for caretaker and camp-host positions; caretakers are year-round contract positions while camp hosts are seasonal.

Executive session: The council added and entered an executive session for pending/possible litigation under RCW 42.31.110, recessed for roughly 30 minutes, and returned to announce that no decision was made in executive session.

Budget amendment: Council heard the first read of a mid-biennium budget amendment and will return the item for a second read on Nov. 25; the amendment review noted an 8.7% medical-benefits increase and other mid-cycle adjustments.

These votes were recorded by voice and carried by majority; one council member (Loy) was excused due to illness.
