Regular City Council Meeting - Oct. 7, 2026

The Ephrata City Council’s regular meeting on October 7, 2026, discussed several procurement and spending items. McKinstry presented an energy-savings performance contracting approach for converting the city-owned 250 Basin Street property into City Hall, describing collaborative design, early contractor pricing, and a possible RFQ process. The council made no selection or award; staff indicated they could return at a later meeting with a proposed process. Council approved a resolution authorizing $37,000 in General Fund support for a flood-related grant match, and approved a resolution to pursue survey consulting services for projects as needed, with future amendments to be brought back for approval. It also approved payment and contract closeout for the completed pickleball court resurfacing and painting project performed by Pickleball Court LLC, and closeout of another completed park project (details unclear in the transcript).
