Reed City manager reports new tree grant, challenges with Pocket Park bid; city clerk announces retirement
Summary
City Manager Rich Saladin reported an additional tree grant and said Pocket Park bids exceeded the grant amount and may delay a July completion; the council also acknowledged City Clerk Amye Hensel’s retirement at the Jan. 13 meeting.
City Manager Rich Saladin told the council on Jan. 13 that the city received an additional tree grant and that planning commission discussions will soon address park and recreation proposals. Bids for the Pocket Park came in with Gerber Construction as the lowest bidder, but the low bid exceeded the grant award and could make the planned July completion date difficult unless adjustments are made.
Saladin said the city is working with the city attorney and staff on a new sick-time process. He also acknowledged City Clerk Amye Hensel and gave a public thank-you; Hensel’s retirement was noted as this was her last council meeting serving in that role.
The council responded with comments thanking Hensel for her service. No policy action on parks or personnel changes was taken at the meeting; staff will return with adjustments and further recommendations as needed.
