Pacific council forwards Gray & Osborne contract for Ellingson Overlay project to Feb. 10 meeting

The Pacific City Council at its Feb. 3 workshop agreed by consensus to forward Resolution 2025-979 — a Gray & Osborne contract for the Ellingson Overlay Project No. PW 23-008 — to the council meeting on Feb. 10, 2025, for formal action. Council President Kerry Garberding called the workshop to order at 7:11 p.m. and noted the item would be placed on the Feb. 10 agenda.

The resolution and contract were listed on the workshop agenda as AB25-094. The minutes state the council forwarded the item "on Council consensus"; no formal motion text or roll-call vote is recorded in the workshop minutes. The minutes also identify Public Works Director Rick Gehrke among staff present for the workshop, though the record does not attribute a presentation or comment to him on this item.

Why it matters: The Ellingson Overlay Project No. PW 23-008 is listed with an engineering contract (Gray & Osborne) and a formal resolution number (2025-979). The referral moves consideration and any possible vote to the Feb. 10 meeting, where the council may record a formal motion, vote tally or further staff presentations.

Next steps: The council will consider AB25-094 and Resolution 2025-979 at the Feb. 10, 2025 council meeting. The workshop minutes do not record a public comment period or deliberations on the contract at the Feb. 3 workshop.
