    Workshop: budget adjustments, Resolution 24-02

    Discussed

    Finance Director Richard Anderson previewed $11,535 for a K9 training seminar, $400,000 to repair the hydro penstock damaged by an off-road driver, $23,900 for employee benefit changes and an additional $1,400,000 for Second Dam sediment removal, since a survey now shows 35,000 cubic yards rather than 14,000. The competing bid was nearly $6 million for 14,000 cubic yards. The electric fund would fall below its reserve target, with other funds able to cover it. Action was set for January 16.

    Budget adjustments, Resolution 23-43 (public hearing)

    Approved · 5-0

    The council appropriated $13,464 in CDBG funds, $8,080 for the library's interlibrary loan program and $1,000,000 from electric fund reserves for Second Dam sediment removal. Dr. Gail Yost asked about timing and community effects; Council Member Simmonds said most work would not affect the roadway, and the mayor said the contract was expected to start in December pending state and federal permits.

  4. October 3, 2023 · City Council

    Workshop: budget adjustments, Resolution 23-43

    Discussed

    Previewed $13,464 in additional HUD CDBG funding, $8,080 in state funds for the library's interlibrary loan program and $1,000,000 from electric fund reserves for Second Dam sediment removal. Light & Power Director Mark Montgomery said two bids were received, $5.7 million and $899,000, and staff selected the lower bid from a national firm with sediment-removal expertise. This year's runoff kept the hydro units from running because sediment clogged the screens; the sediment belongs to the Forest Service and permits were expected before work begins.

    Approved · 5-0
