Leavenworth council approves consent agenda, on-call contracts and interlocal agreements
Summary
At its Dec. 9 meeting the council approved consent items and a batch of professional-services and interlocal agreements — including on-call transportation and utility engineering contracts, an interlocal janitorial/maintenance agreement, an emergency-services interlocal, and the fire-marshal services contract — mostly by unanimous vote.
Beyond the major items discussed in depth, the Leavenworth City Council approved a series of routine and project-specific contracts and amendments.
Key approvals included: - A one-year renewal of an on-call transportation-planning agreement with Transco Group (not-to-exceed $50,000 cap for on-call services) to provide third-party review of traffic-impact analyses and other transportation planning tasks. - An on-call utility-engineering agreement with R2 (or RSU) Engineering for 2026, primarily for city projects and task-authorizations; staff will bring tasks exceeding purchasing thresholds back to council when required. - An interlocal agreement with Wind Transit for janitorial services and Glacier parking-lot maintenance (revised language accepted after partner review). - An emergency-services agreement with Chelan County Emergency Management covering countywide emergency coordination and services (the county’s per-capita fee was reported at $4; Leavenworth’s share was ~$10,458.52 based on the county population estimate of 2,615). - A fire-marshal services contract renewal with an increased annual cost (staff noted an adjustment and corrected dates in the packet).
Most motions passed unanimously, and staff said they will incorporate partner edits and return final executed agreements.
Why it matters: These agreements secure engineering, planning and emergency-management capacity the city uses to manage development review, infrastructure projects and public-safety coordination. Funding for some services is passed through to developers as standard third-party review costs; other items come from the city budget.
