The Wasilla City Council voted on Nov. 10 to fund schematic and design work for a Wasilla Public Library expansion and to award the design contract to ECI.

Clerk read Ordinance serial number 2536, which authorizes appropriation of $269,353 from the general fund fund balance for architectural services covering schematic design (35%), design development (65%) and construction documents for the Wasilla Library expansion. Associated Administration Memorandum (AM) 2560 is a contract award to ECI for $269,353 to perform the design work.

Mayor Glenda D. Ledford opened the public hearing; no members of the public testified during the three‑minute comment period. Councilmember Johnson moved to adopt Ordinance 2536 and AM 2560; Councilmember Rubio seconded the motion. With no discussion or objection the motion passed on a voice vote.

The council recorded no roll‑call tally in the minutes for this item; the clerk reported the motion passed. Staff indicated the project will proceed to next steps of design work under the ECI contract.

Next procedural steps: the design contract will move forward under the appropriated funds, and council will receive follow‑up materials as the design advances.
