City-Council : One Bridge Saved!
City Council Meeting- May 13th, 2008
The meeting was short and sweet – made even shorter by the City of Destiny awards tonight drawing our councilmembers out of chambers and on to Jason Lee Middle School. So, what happened?
Resolution # 37477 approved the purchase of computers for the Wastewater Management Division, plastic containers for Solid Waste, and tire services.
Resolution # 37478 authorized the execution of an agreement with David Evans and Associates in the amount of $367k for engineering and specification work for the repair of the Lincoln Avenue Bridge over the Puyallup River. The bridge was built in 1929 with two spans. A third span was added in 1944. The bridge received a new deck in 1946. Jump ahead to today. The work will remove old deck and replace it with a modern concrete one. Secondarily, it will change the bearing devices that allow it to move to and fro. The project is 86.5% federally funded. Passed.
Resolution # 37479 adopted the 2008-2009 Annual Action Plan of the Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development INCLUDING the amendment submitted by Councilmember Lonergan. This amendment provided $15k to both the MLKHDA and Salvation Army.
One final note of interest to us…
Ordinance # 27715 amends the Municipal Code to allow the Tacoma Dome to become a promoter of in-house events without requiring a third party promoter.
Have fun at the City of Destiny Awards. Good night.
