Leavenworth council approves transport resolution, zoning ordinance and parking‑lot contract
Summary
At the March joint meeting the council unanimously approved Resolution 06‑2026 (transportation/safety action), adopted Ordinance 17‑20 updating residential code to allow triplexes, approved a 2026 parking-lot improvement contract to Century Washington Asphalt, excused an absent councilor and passed the consent agenda.
The Leavenworth City Council took a series of formal actions during the joint meeting with the Upper Valley PRSA board.
Motions and results
- The council moved to excuse Councilor Shane Bayer’s absence; the motion carried.
- The council approved the consent agenda by unanimous voice/hand vote.
- Resolution 06‑2026: Council moved to accept the transportation/safety-action plan, which staff revised after consultant feedback; councilors asked staff to confirm that a planned north‑road roundabout reference is noted in the record. The resolution passed unanimously.
- Ordinance 17‑20: The council voted to adopt Ordinance 17‑20, which modifies residential design standards and allows triplexes in designated residential zones. The ordinance followed a public hearing and passed despite some opposition noted during the hearing.
- Parking-lot improvement contract: Staff recommended awarding the 2026 parking-lot improvement project to Century Washington Asphalt as lowest responsive bidder; council approved the contract and confirmed the funding source is the city parking fund. The award passed unanimously.
Procedural notes: Several councilors raised clarifying questions on references in staff packets (for example, a county transportation project and its representation in the city plan) and staff said they would add clarifying notes as needed. No roll-call vote tallies with individual member votes were printed in the transcript; outcomes were recorded as unanimous on voice/hand show.
Next steps: Staff will finalize contract documents for the parking-lot award, prepare the change‑order materials for the Osborne asbestos work, and update plan documents to include requested references and clarifications.
