White Salmon council unanimously approves consent agenda including Anderson Perry consulting agreement and $620,256.93 in vouchers

The White Salmon City Council unanimously approved its consent agenda at the Feb. 18 meeting, including an agreement for consulting services with Anderson Perry and vouchers totaling $620,256.93.

Councilor Doug Rainbolt thanked staff for thorough preparation and noted that legal review had been completed, confirming the contract’s “not to exceed” amount is set by the agreement terms. Council Member Patty Fink moved to approve the consent agenda; Ben Giant seconded. The motion carried 5–0 (Giant—Aye, Fink—Aye, Rainbolt—Aye, Mora—Aye, Lindley—Aye).

The consent agenda listed multiple items: the Anderson Perry consulting services agreement; Change Order No. 4 for the Buck Creek Roof Replacement; Pay Application No. 8 to Ajax NW for N Main Spring Street Improvement; Pay Application No. 5 to Slateco LLC for the Buck Creek Roof Replacement project; approval of Jan. 7 and Feb. 4 meeting minutes; and vouchers audited and certified under Washington law. The voucher schedule presented check and EFT detail and reported a total of $620,256.93 in vouchers and $86,892.21 in payroll.

Council discussion on the Anderson Perry agreement was limited to confirmation of the contract terms and the late addition of Public Records Act language that staff had circulated earlier in the day. No council member requested removal of the item from the consent calendar for separate discussion.

Next steps: staff will proceed under the approved contract terms and process the certified vouchers. The council did not direct additional action during the meeting.
