Approve contract with Psomas for Greenway construction management
7 to 0
Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved hiring Psomas to oversee construction of the Greenway's second phase. This means the city will pay an outside firm to manage contractors, inspect work quality, and keep the project on schedule rather than handling these tasks with city staff. While no contract amount was specified, this is a standard practice for major construction projects to ensure professional oversight. The unanimous vote reflects the council's typical support for contract decisions, with all members historically approving around 85-97% of contract items.
