Council reviews HLA recommendation, delays award for Town‑Wide Water Main Replacement Project
Summary
At its March 17 meeting the South Cle Elum Town Council reviewed an HLA recommendation of award for the Town‑Wide Water Main Replacement Project and noted a Public Works Board letter finding Executive Order 21‑02 compliance; the council requested engineers attend a special meeting before deciding on the award.
At its March 17, 2026 meeting, the South Cle Elum Town Council reviewed an HLA recommendation of award for the Town‑Wide Water Main Replacement Project but took no final vote.
The agenda listed “Town‑Wide Water Main Replacement Project – final determination letter from Public Works Board concluding Executive Order 21‑02 compliance requirements for the project,” and Mayor DeVere read the HLA recommendation during new business. Town Attorney Jeff Slothower recommended inviting the project engineers to a special meeting to answer questions before the council decides whether to accept the recommendation or take other action. The minutes record that the contractor had been identified as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, but no award motion or vote was recorded in the minutes.
The project was discussed both as unfinished business (the Public Works Board determination) and again under new business when the HLA recommendation was read. Council members asked questions about the recommendation; the minutes do not record a formal vote, price, contractor name, or a roll‑call tally. The record indicates the council intends follow‑up: engineers will be invited to a special meeting to provide technical answers prior to any award decision.
