In a recent government meeting, the City Council took significant steps towards the redevelopment of Chinook Pier, focusing on negotiations with a selected developer. The discussion centered around an amendment to the main motion, which aimed to initiate a development agreement specifically with Copper Rock.

Council members engaged in a brief dialogue before the amendment was proposed and seconded, indicating a clear preference for moving forward with Copper Rock over other potential developers. The amendment was put to a vote, with the majority of council members supporting the motion, despite some dissent.

The final resolution, as amended, authorizes the City Council to begin negotiations with Copper Rock for the redevelopment project. The motion passed with a vote tally of four in favor and one against, reflecting a decisive move towards revitalizing the Chinook Pier area. This development is expected to enhance the local economy and improve community access to waterfront activities.
