Green River council approves event permits, FAA inspection and bid award; insurance coverage for volleyball league OK'd
Summary
At its Dec. 10 meeting the council approved the Epicenter local-consent form for alcohol service, reapproved an FAA runway inspection agreement, awarded the Green River Water Treatment Upgrade to the low bidder (Harvard and Reese), approved general liability coverage for a women's volleyball league, and passed the consent agenda.
The Green River City Council approved several permits, a procurement award and liability coverage during its Dec. 10 meeting.
The council unanimously approved the local consent form required for the Epicenter to serve alcohol during an on‑site conference event. Staff explained the Department of Alcoholic Beverage (as referenced in the transcript) consent process and noted similar conditions as prior events.
Council also reapproved the FAA flight inspection agreement that allows federal inspectors to conduct nighttime runway inspections; staff said the agreement is the same document approved last March with updated dates.
On capital procurement, staff presented the Green River Water Treatment Upgrade Project (project number cited in the agenda). After reviewing bids and the engineer's recommendation, the council moved to approve the notice of award to the low bidder identified in the record as Harvard and Reese (bid amount stated in the transcript as $2,475,000); the motion carried following a roll-call style confirmation.
Recreation staff reported that a youth basketball liability item could be scratched because the organizer no longer required city coverage at this time. Separately, Kimberly Patton (a local high‑school volleyball coach) requested liability coverage to support a women's open‑gym/league. Staff explained coverage would be an addendum to the city's existing policy and noted an existing $500 volleyball line item that could possibly be used for related expenses; the council approved general liability coverage for the women's volleyball league on a motion and voice vote.
The council approved the consent agenda — financial and treasury reports and minutes — and adjourned the meeting.
Items approved at the meeting will proceed per normal city-staff implementation processes; staff and applicants will handle paperwork and any state or federal filings required by the specific approvals.
