The Centralia City Council Monday night will consider a pipeline crossing permit from the Canadian National Railroad for new raw and treated water mains at the Ellis and Prairie Street railroad crossings.
City Manager Kory Smith says the new arterial water lines will serve the new Water Treatment Plant. The city will pay a $7,000 onetime fee for each crossing.
One more crossing license will be required in the future for an 18 inch treated water main, but it has not been completed at this time. The cost for the licenses will be paid from the water treatment plant replacement fund.
The council will also consider a renewal of a property lease agreement with the Canadian National Railroad for the lease of property between 15th and 16th street. Smith says the property is necessary for the access to the operation of the force main to the Industrial Park. The lease rate is $600 per year paid annually for a term of five years. The lease dates back to 1959.
The council will also be asked to allow the Greater Centralia Chamber of Commerce to utilize Fairview Park for a drive through balloon glow during Balloon Fest on Friday night, August 18th.
The volunteer service of Joel Brooks will also be recognized.
The meeting begins at six Monday night at Centralia City Hall.
