Council approves EV-charger change order, farmers market permit, LGIP interest reallocation and letter supporting Wolf Haven
Summary
At its Jan. 27 meeting the Tenino City Council approved a change order removing a third EV-charger site, approved the Tenino Farmers Market seasonal agreement and fee waiver, passed a resolution to consolidate Local Government Investment Pool interest into the general fund, and authorized a letter of support for a Wolf Haven project.
The Tenino City Council took several formal actions at its Jan. 27 regular meeting.
Change order: Council approved a change order to the EV-charger project that deletes a third proposed site (the quarry house) while retaining chargers at the original locations including a site behind the Sandstone Café. The motion passed following a move and second.
Farmers Market: The council moved and seconded approval of the Tenino Farmers Market agreement and agreed to waive the special-event fee (seasonal permit fee reported roughly $100). Council members discussed whether the city should reconsider fee waivers given tight budgets; at least one councilor volunteered to personally cover the fee in the interim. The motion to approve the agreement and fee waiver passed.
LGIP interest resolution: Council considered a resolution to direct interest earned from the Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP) into the city’s general fund to help immediate budget pressures (interest was described as roughly $1,500 per month). After discussion and a motion the resolution passed.
Letter of support: Council approved a letter of support for Wolf Haven’s treehouse project and authorized the mayor or council president to sign the letter. Members said Wolf Haven provides educational opportunities for local schools and is an asset to the community.
Other procedural actions: The council approved minutes for the Jan. 13, 2026 meeting (subject to minor edits to committee rosters) and passed the consent calendar (payroll EFTs $34,143.92; claims checks 33851–33883 totaling $159,999.19; total $194,143.11). Each item was moved, seconded and approved during the meeting.
Votes provenance and next steps: The formal motions and votes occurred during the regular meeting and were approved by voice votes; individual roll-call tallies were not recorded in the transcript. Staff will post finalized minutes with any edits and include documentation of change-order and resolution text in the official packet.
