Summary

The Board approved an interlocal agreement with the county to remove logs and woody debris that obstruct river flow near Jackson Street; the county will coordinate contractors and the city will handle grinding of removed material.

A staff member presented an interlocal agreement between the city and county addressing removal of logs and woody debris affecting flow near a location the transcript refers to as "County Bridal on Jackson Street." The staff member said the county will arrange a contractor to remove debris once the city notifies the county that logs have blocked about half of the channel; the county will notify the city at least two weeks before work and provide contractor details.

"...the city will notify the county when the logs kind of they've reached 50% of block like, they block 50% or more of the flow of the river," the staff member said explaining the trigger for county action. (Transcript uses the phrase "County Bridal on Jackson Street" in describing the location.)
