REGULAR COUNCIL

REGULAR COUNCIL MINUTES Council Chambers – 1300 First Street July 19, 2023 at 6:00 PM 1. FLAG SALUTE - PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE 2. COUNCIL WORKSHOP TO DISCUSS CONTRACT TO BUILD NEW FACILITY Administrator Raines discussed his meetings with Rognlin's and Harbor Architects regarding the contract to build the new facility. There may be bond funds available for municipalities through the Washington State Treasurer's Office. This would not go to a vote. It is done by the State three times a year. The State sells bonds at a lower interest rate than we could get from a conventional loan. The fees would also be less than commercial lending. For a 15 year term, the interest rate was 3.28 percent when they last sold bonds. If we decide not to do this, we would need a community meeting to discuss the options. This funding would not be available until October for deposit in January. Rognlin's would not be 60% done until January of this year. We have a deductive change order for the contract which would be added back towards the end of the project. They discussed the value added engineering and deductive change order. 3.
