Votes
Remove Item K-5 from the agenda
4 to 1
Why This Vote Matters
The council voted 4-1 to keep the wastewater treatment facility funding item on the agenda, rejecting Councilmember Rogers' motion to remove it. This procedural vote means the council will still consider whether to approve up to $2 million in additional funding to complete pump station upgrades at the city's wastewater treatment facility by December 2007. Councilmember Bates was the sole opponent of keeping the item for discussion, while Councilmembers Marquez and Sandhu abstained from the procedural vote. The original contract apparently underestimated the costs needed to finish this capital improvement project.

Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved spending up to $2 million more to finish upgrading a pump station at the city's wastewater treatment facility. The original contract didn't include enough money to complete this capital improvement project, which must be finished by December 1, 2007.

This approval allows the city to complete necessary infrastructure work that was already underway but underfunded.
