Summary
Council approved the consent agenda, which included claim vouchers totaling $548,625.64 and an OTAAC on‑call consulting contract amendment. Public commenter Theresa Miller asked whether the OTAAC item went to bid and whether the city is $8,000 over the bid; staff asked commenters to submit follow‑up questions to the city manager.
The Sequim City Council unanimously approved the consent agenda at its June 8 meeting. The city clerk read consent items that included claim vouchers totaling $548,625.64, May 26 meeting minutes, a certified acceptance qualification agreement, an OTAAC on‑call consulting contract amendment, ELTAC minutes and grant approvals, the Margaret Kerner playground design contract award, procurement of materials and supplies, an interlocal agreement with Clallam County, and several commission appointments.
During public comment, Theresa Miller asked specifically about the OTAAC contract amendment listed on the consent agenda and whether it had been advertised for bids and whether the city was $8,000 over the bid for additional tasks. The clerk and mayor reiterated that council does not typically respond to public comment during the meeting and encouraged Miller to send her questions to the city manager or appropriate staff for a written response; the commenter provided contact information.
The consent agenda motion to approve was moved, seconded and approved without objection; no roll‑call vote tally was recorded in the meeting narrative.
