Council authorized Task Order 2 with Toth and Associates to secure a no-rise certificate and permits for a new parking lot at Salem City Park, approving the engineering services at second reading with no further questions.

The Salem City Council approved Bill 3708, authorizing the mayor to execute Task Order 2 with Toth and Associates to obtain a no-rise certificate and related permits for a new parking lot at Salem City Park.

Staff explained the task order is intended to produce the technical documentation showing the parking lot will not elevate the floodplain (a "no-rise" certificate) as part of permitting.

The engineering work will allow the city to apply for required permits and ensure the design complies with floodplain requirements before construction proceeds.
