On Oct. 27 the Snoqualmie City Council adopted Ordinance 13-07, amending Title 8 of the municipal code to adopt compost use and procurement policies for city projects and contractors.
Councilor Benson introduced the ordinance and described it as formalizing existing practices by requiring locally sourced compost for projects that need soil amendments; project engineer Patrick Fry was available online for questions and staff indicated the change should not materially affect upcoming projects. The ordinance passed on second reading with an affirmative voice vote.
What happens next: the ordinance will be codified and staff will implement the procurement requirements into project bid documents and contract specifications.
