The Grants Pass City Council Wednesday night deferred a decision on an appeal of a UAB ruling and approved the purchase of a control system for the new water treatment plant. Councilors Seth Benham and Joel King were absent.
The Council first delayed a public hearing on an appeal of the Urban Area Planning Commission's decision to deny the application of Eden Glen's Planned Unit development on Fruitdale Drive. The applicant asked for a variance for street width and length. The public hearing was rescheduled to September 16th. The applicant is proposing to development 20 townhouse.
The Council also approved a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Control Systems NW to complete water system remote Supervisory Control and Date Acquisition upgrades. The current telemetry system is 26-years-old and is obsolete. It is important to complete this project prior to the completion of the water treatment plant to prevent requiring installation of the obsolete equipment into the new facility. The maximum fee is not to exceed $1,646,317.
Two applicants were appointed to the Small Business Task Force. Logan Roberts was appointed in the Food & Beverage category and Rebekah Nugent in the Retail
category.
Police Chief Warren Hensman announced the hiring of a new parking enforcement officer.
