Centralia’s new Police Chief Christopher Locke will be sworn into office at Monday night’s city council meeting. Locke’s official first day on the job is Monday after his contract was approved by the council at their last meeting August 22nd.
The council will also consider a resolution that includes an agreement with the developer of a Scooter’s Coffee location at the corner of North Brookside and West McCord Street in the northwest TIF Redevelopment Project Area. Director of Economic Development Derek Sherman says the developer has and will continue to incur planning and other eligible costs in connection with the project.
The council will be asked to pass another resolution to authorize Good Energy to bid out the city’s electric aggregation contract. The current contract expires at the end of the year. Centralia will have the electric needs of residents and small businesses bid on the electric aggregation program along with 28 other communities to find the lowest cost provider.
The council will also be asked to pass a resolution waiting the bidding requirements and accepting a proposal from Morrow Brothers Ford, which has the state bid, to purchase a new police truck for $30,356.
The council is also expected to get an update on the water treatment plant.
The Centralia City Council meeting begins at six Monday night at Centralia City Hall.
