Approval of UPRR Crossing Replacement

The railroad’s contract for the improvements to the existing crossing that are part of the Main Street Rehabilitation Project is written very clearly. It states that the Town is responsible for 50% of the railroad’s actual labor and material costs associated with the work, which they estimate to be $190,490.00. The council agreed that the contract did not need to be reviewed by the attorney.

ACTION

Mary Branon motioned to accept the Improvements to Existing Public Road at Grade Crossing for Main Street, DOT 89795IJ M.P. 131.73 Fairfield Industrial Lead Fairfield, Washington agreement. The agreement is for 50% of the Railroad’s actual labor and material costs associated with the work with estimation being $190,490.00; seconded by George Davidson. The motion carried.

Acceptance of Employee Resignation

Alene Felgenhauer turned in her resignation as deputy clerk. She is asking to have it effective immediately. The council thanked Alene for her time and dedication to the community.

Ed would like to contact the previous applicants to see if they are still interested before posting the position. After checking with MRSC, neither state nor federal laws require advertising. The most recent applications will be reviewed. Ed would like to have the position filled by the first of May.

The signature cards that were to be updated will be destroyed and the bank will be notified that the town will update them when the new employee is hired.
