The Moses Lake City Council meeting held on May 28, 2025, focused on several key agenda items, including community projects and upcoming events. The meeting began with a commendation for SignsNow, which successfully upgraded a community sign, enhancing its visual appeal. The council expressed gratitude for the efforts of the staff involved in this project, highlighting the seamless execution and the positive community response.

Following this, the council recognized Pro Rentals and Sales for their generous loan of an extendable forklift, which facilitated the installation of a fountain at Nepal Park. This equipment allowed for a more efficient setup, avoiding the need for a slow tow across the lake. The council acknowledged the contributions of various staff members, including Derek Peters and Javier Garza, who played pivotal roles in the project’s management and execution. The team’s attention to detail, such as painting visible pipes to match the aesthetic, was also noted.

The meeting then transitioned to upcoming events, including the Association of Washington Cities (AWC) annual business meeting scheduled for June 6. Council members discussed the importance of sending delegates to represent the city, emphasizing that more delegates would provide additional voting power on key issues affecting local governance.

City Manager Rob Carlindzi provided updates on future community engagement opportunities, including a town hall meeting focused on the post-sleep center plan, set for the following week. He also mentioned an upcoming two-day council retreat aimed at strategic planning, with the first day taking place at the Best Western and the second at the Fairgrounds.

The meeting concluded with the approval of the consent agenda, which included routine items that were enacted with a single motion. Overall, the council meeting highlighted the collaborative efforts of city staff and the importance of community involvement in local governance.
