Council approves planning and climate-related contracts and a state grant contract
Summary
On unanimous or carried motions, the council authorized the mayor to sign a planning/services contract with Kovach Architects, approved a Periodic Update Grant contract (#2663114-028) with the Washington State Department of Commerce, and authorized a contract with Sage Step LLC for climate planning services.
During the Oct. 7 meeting the council approved three separate items authorizing the mayor to sign contracts. Finance Director Janice Flynn presented a contract with Kovach Architects for planning and building services through the end of 2025, including work related to Climate Planning and Periodic Update Grants. The council carried a motion (m/s Garcia/Fanning) authorizing the mayor to sign that contract.
Planner Alex Kovach then presented the Periodic Update Grant contract (#2663114-028) with the Washington State Department of Commerce; Council carried a motion (m/s Garcia/Fanning) authorizing the mayor to sign the grant contract. Council also approved a contract with Sage Step LLC to perform climate planning services (motion by Garcia/Fanning). Each motion was recorded as carried; no roll-call tallies were provided in the minutes.
Why it matters: the contracts advance required planning work under growth-management and climate-planning efforts and authorize staff to pursue grant-funded deliverables. The Periodic Update Grant, identified by contract number #2663114-028, connects Royal City to state resources for updating its comprehensive planning documents.
Next steps: staff will proceed with the contracted work and report back as required under the grants and contracts.
