At-a-glance: votes and actions from Sandy council meeting
Summary
Council passed the consent agenda by voice vote and approved Ordinance 2026-03 (HB2005-related municipal-code updates) on first and second readings. Staff outlined next steps for wastewater procurement, DEQ/EPA meetings, rate-modeling and solicitation/noise-draft revisions.
Key formal actions and next steps from the council meeting:
- Consent agenda: Passed by voice vote (motion and second; no recorded opposition). (See staff report remarks early in meeting.)
- Ordinance 2026-03: Council approved first and second readings of the city code amendments to align limited definitions with state law (House Bill 2005); the council directed staff to add a clear reference to ORS 197.660 and to defer adoption of contested 'supersiting' provisions pending litigation. (Motion and readings recorded during the meeting.)
- Next steps (staff directions): If the facility-plan amendment is adopted at the June hearing, staff intends to issue an RFP for MBR design consultants (target July 1), pursue geotech and groundwater studies for recharge, continue DEQ/EPA coordination, and return with refined rate models from FCS Group prior to any rate-adoption vote.
- Staff will revise solicitation and noise code drafts and return with options on solicitation hours, signage rules, and the radio-frequency subsection for subsequent hearings.
This roundup covers the recorded motions and the principal staff commitments made at the meeting. Where staff provided estimates (project ranges, debt-service amounts, and rate projections), council requested refinement and external validation.
