This change is a housekeeping move to bring the City back in line with the latest RCW limitations for such projects. City Attorney Roger Lubovich clarified that the proposed change does not deal with products and goods, but does deal with services such as legal counsel. This ordinance would make changes that would be in line with the Revised Code of Washington (RCW). There were no comments from the public. Roger Lubovich elaborated on how the proposed changes would affect the small works roster, which has been raised from $100,000 to $200,000 per RCW.
