The Centralia City Council passed only one resolution at its regular meeting on Monday night. The council approved waiving bidding requirements to pay for repairs to the wastewater treatment plant’s backup generator from Fabick Cat for $22,810. City manager Galen Mahle said the repairs were urgent and necessary, as the backup generator keeps the plant running in the event of a power outage.
A service award was given to Public Works Secretary Pamela Campbell in recognition of fifteen years of service.
At the end of the meeting, Mahle reported that Centralia was honored with a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from the Government Finance Officers Association for the second consecutive year.
