Oakland commission approves consent agenda including water treatment design work and Catherine Ross Road final costs
Summary
On May 12 the Town Commission approved a multi-item consent agenda that included authorizing water treatment plant expansion proposals from Kimley Horn and Associates (work assignment no. 23), approval of additional improvements and final cost for Catherine Ross Road, an after-school contract, updates to exhibit/reception permissions, and meeting notes.
The Town of Oakland Commission approved its consent agenda during the May 12 meeting, accepting meeting notes from April 28, 2020, authorizing wine service for artist receptions in the 2026–27 exhibit season, authorizing an after-school services contract and work authorization, approving water treatment plant expansion proposals from Kimley Horn and Associates (work assignment no. 23), and accepting additional improvements and the final cost for Catherine Ross Road.
A resident (Speaker 7) publicly thanked staff for finding adjustments that reduced design costs on the water treatment expansion and noted that the project could be paid for with impact fees. After brief comments and no further public input, Speaker 1 moved to approve the consent agenda and the motion was seconded; the commission voted in favor.
Why it matters: the items in the consent agenda authorize professional design work and accept final construction accounting for a Town road project, allowing staff to proceed with next steps in procurement and construction management. The water treatment plant design authorization will inform future construction plans; town staff indicated the design costs reductions were achieved and may be funded from impact fees.
Next steps: staff will continue procurement and work with engineering consultants to finalize project scopes and bring any required contracts or budget amendments back to the commission.
