Puget Sound Energy Contract for SPAR Water Project
AB 8092
On May 17, 2021, Council awarded the construction bid for the SPAR Water System Project (AB 8179). The City's contractor will install most of the system components, including the conduits and other infrastructure to facilitate power to be fed to the new pump station. However, as is typical in this type of project, PSE will actually install the wiring, transformer, and meters under a separate contract.
Police officer recruitment has become increasingly challenging in recent years due to diminishing candidate pools, increasing causes of attrition, and broadening police responsibilities. The City has struggled to attract sufficient candidates to fill vacancies due to retirements, change in profession, and lateral career moves. Lateral police officers are particularly difficult to attract as candidates, as many incur moving expenses, loss of seniority, and other detriments when they consider an opportunity at a new jurisdiction.
