Council adopts two administrative ordinances, extends engineering contract and denies a fee‑waiver request
Summary
On consent and action items the council adopted Ordinances 550 and 551 (second readings and adoptions), authorized an extension of the city’s on‑call engineering/planning agreement with SHN, and denied an Arcadia Chamber fee‑waiver request; votes recorded by roll call/voice vote as noted in the minutes.
The council took several formal actions during the meeting. After staff presentations and no public comment, the council conducted second readings and adopted two administrative ordinances:
- Ordinance 550 (amending Chapter 13.12 of the Blue Lake Municipal Code relating to cross‑connection control) — council moved to conduct second reading, waive further reading and adopt the ordinance; the adoption was completed by roll call. - Ordinance 551 (amending Chapter 15 related to building inspection fee language) — council moved to conduct second reading, waive further reading and adopt the ordinance; adoption completed by voice/roll call.
On contracts, the council authorized the city manager to execute an amendment extending the on‑call municipal engineering and planning services agreement with SHN (originally executed 05/31/2023) through Dec. 31 (year not specified in the staff report) while the city prepares a new RFP. The council also considered and denied a requested waiver of a $350 rental fee from the Arcadia Chamber of Commerce for a multi‑chamber mixer; staff and several council members noted waiver policy limits and urged sponsor/donor approaches instead. Motions and roll‑call/voice votes for each action are reflected in the meeting record.
