Mayor (name not stated) called the Sept. 9 meeting of the Tenino City Council to order and the council approved several routine and procedural items, including the consent calendar and multiple administrative actions.
The council approved the consent calendar for Aug. 27–Sept. 9, 2025, reporting payroll EFTs of $85,003.32 and claims/EFTs of $664,601.21 for a total of $729,604.53. The packet included reissued checks originally written to Gibson Gibbs & Olson that were corrected to pay the actual contractors: Lakeside Industries ($340,090.34) and Traverse Electrics ($176,020.81). The council approved the consent calendar by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.
The council also renewed a contract for real-estate services with Amy Evans Harding to continue work at the AgPark. The city attorney reviewed the agreement and reported no substantive changes. The renewal was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Separately, the council approved a request to remove retired employee Rhonda Barnes from the city's accounts at Timberland Bank. Councilmembers noted Barnes' roughly 28 years of service and said they will arrange recognition.
On a policy item, the council moved to adopt the 2025 hazardous waste management plan update, reauthorizing the plan originally passed in 2014. Staff said there were no significant updates and no direct cost to the city. The resolution carried by voice vote.
