Council approves sidewalk code change, awards sidewalk contract and a small business grant
Summary
Lebanon council approved a committee recommendation to amend the sidewalk reimbursement code, accepted a lone $11,000 sidewalk bid and approved a business grant of $8,741 for a parking lot. Committee recommendations came to council and were approved by roll call with minimal debate.
Lebanon — The Lebanon City Council on Oct. 27 approved a package of committee recommendations: an ordinance amending the city’s sidewalk reimbursement code (chapter 28.11), acceptance of a single $11,000 bid for sidewalk work, and a business grant of $8,741 to support a parking lot for a rental welding and fabrication business.
The Streets and Alleys committee brought an ordinance amendment to the council as a committee recommendation; the chair said the item “comes from committee, so it doesn't need a second.” The council then took roll call and approved the recommendation. (Chair)
On sidewalk construction, a council member told the meeting the city received one bid — $11,000 from Centimeters Concrete — and moved to approve it. Colleagues characterized the bid as reasonable and discussed why fewer contractors responded (some local firms do not provide the bond/stamp paperwork requested). The motion to approve the single bid passed by roll call. (Council member)
The council also approved a committee recommendation to award a business grant of $8,741 for a new parking lot tied to a rental welding and fabrication enterprise. Committee members said the item comes from committee and does not require a second; the council approved by roll call.
Why it matters: The ordinance change clarifies reimbursement rules for sidewalks and the awarded contracts and grants move several small capital projects into implementation. City staff will schedule contractor work and handle grant disbursement steps.
Next steps: Staff will finalize procurement paperwork for the sidewalk contract and process the grant payment per committee instructions; the Streets committee scheduled a follow‑up on Nov. 3 at 6:30 PM.
