Summary
At its May 15 meeting the Granite Falls City Council approved the consent agenda including revised claims that added a $255,854.95 check to Welwest Construction and authorized an executive session on real‑estate site selection and threatened litigation.
The Granite Falls City Council approved its consent agenda on May 15, including minutes and claims. Deputy City Manager Jeff Balentine told the council that a check for Welwest Construction (check #414331) in the amount of $255,854.95 was added to the claims, bringing total claims reported in the minutes to $1,683,881.15. Separately, a replacement check (#414281) for Cascade District Court in the amount of $145.00 was noted.
The motion to approve the consent agenda passed (moved by Councilmember Straughn; seconded by Councilmember Glenn). Council also voted to add a 10‑minute executive session under RCW 42.30.110(b) (site selection where price may be impacted) and RCW 42.30.110(ii) (threatened litigation); the council recessed into executive session starting at 8:15 p.m. and returned to open session at 8:25 p.m., after which the meeting was adjourned.
The minutes record a number of staff reports earlier in the meeting, including passport‑office revenue tracking, upcoming bids on the Stanley Street project, Complete Streets grant elements, and a Planning Commission meeting that lasted 2½ hours; none of those items required separate council action at this meeting.
