Burley City Council to Consider Wastewater Plant Contract, Produce Concession Next Week
The Burley City Council held two special meetings in late June to discuss the next fiscal year's budget and possible action items, but official minutes have not yet been published, so no decisions are recorded from those sessions. The council will reconvene on July 7 to vote on a $1.46 million bill list, a wastewater treatment plant engineering contract, and a seasonal produce concession at Scholer Park, among other items.
Recent Meetings (June 23 and 24)
On June 23, the council met to discuss and possibly approve an Opportunity Zone application for an area south of the river and north of 16th Avenue, as well as an FAA funds agreement. A budget workshop with department heads was also held. No minutes have been published, so the status of those items is unknown.
The following day, June 24, the council held another special meeting to discuss the upcoming fiscal year's budget with department heads and the Cassia County Sheriff. Agenda items included declaring a Streets Marathon Mastic Machine (VIN 2M9SRM2T8GH190226) as surplus and accepting a Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant. Again, minutes are not yet available, so no votes or outcomes are recorded.
Upcoming Meeting (July 7)
The council will meet on Tuesday, July 7, at its regular session. The agenda includes several action items:
- **Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plant**: The council will vote on approving a Forsgren scope of work for phases 1A through 1D of the plant. No dollar amount is listed in the agenda.
- **Seasonal Produce Concession**: A concessionaire agreement with Brady Swallow for seasonal produce sales at Scholer Park will be considered.
- **Grant Acceptance**: The council will vote to accept a Waterway Improvement Grant and authorize the mayor to sign.
