After executive session, Seneca directs city attorney to send 60‑day letter to Higbies about Andy’s Plumbing replacement

The council met in executive session pursuant to ORS 192.660(2)(f) to consider records exempt from public inspection. After returning to open session at 7:08 p.m., Mayor Brad Smith summarized that the session included discussion of a draft letter to the Higbies regarding the status of their contractor, Andy's Plumbing. City Manager Amanda Born said she was not comfortable drafting the letter and recommended the City Attorney prepare it.

Councilor Barb Northington moved that the City Attorney draft a letter asking the Higbies to confirm whether they have been unable to find a reasonable replacement for Andy's Plumbing and to notify the city; the letter will warn that if they do not follow up within 60 days the city will find a reasonable replacement and set a date for project completion. Councilor Sue Holliday seconded and the motion passed 'all in favor.' The minutes do not record the letter's full text or any subsequent deadline other than the 60‑day response window referenced in the motion.
