Washington — At its Dec. 15 meeting the Washington City Council approved consent‑agenda items including change orders and final pay requests for new electronic locks at City Hall, and later approved the final plat for Grand Lake Estates Plat 3.

Staff explained the lock project required three additional doors and that staff opted to provide key fobs rather than a computer‑unlock system; councilors noted the change added minimal cost. The consent agenda motion passed by voice vote.

In committee reports, planning staff presented the final plat for Grand Lake Estates Plat 3 (Meyer Subdivision), explaining the plat formalizes an existing house lot and leaves the remaining ~8.5 acres unplatted for potential future sale. After a brief discussion and clarification of assessor lines shown on the map, the council approved the final plat ordinance by roll‑call vote.

What’s next: Final payments and change orders will be processed; the final plat will be recorded per the adopted ordinance and any future development of the remaining acreage will require separate review.
