Auburn council approves new retail licenses and awards $1.423 million culvert contract
Summary
Council approved business licenses for Fuel X (retail beer/table wine) and Hattie B's (restaurant liquor), and awarded a $1,423,000 culvert replacement contract to JLD Enterprises, with staff noting the project is under budget by about $1.38 million.
The Auburn City Council approved several items on June 2, including business-license applications and a public-works contract.
Licenses: Council approved a retail beer and table-wine license for Fuel X at 171 E. Glenn Avenue (replacement for the Circle K site) after staff discussed zoning and nonconforming-use considerations. Council also approved a restaurant beverage/liquor license for Hattie B's (a family-owned hot-chicken chain) at North 121; councilors applauded the reuse of the Tiger Theatre venue for the new restaurant.
Contract: The council voted to award a culvert replacement contract to JLD Enterprises in the amount of $1,423,000. Staff noted the project is currently under budget by approximately $1.38 million. Council discussion emphasized monitoring compliance with zoning/nonconforming improvements for the business license site and noted project budgeting and traffic management plans for the culvert work.
Why it matters: The approvals clear the way for new businesses to open in Auburn and advance a public-infrastructure project; the culvert contract award includes a sizable capital outlay but staff reported the project is under budget.
