City Council Regular meeting 10 27 2026

The City of College Place City Council held its regular meeting on October 27, 2026. The council approved the consent agenda unanimously and approved an agreement with JUB Engineers for design of the Southeast 12th Street sewer improvements, authorizing the Public Works Director or designee to sign the agreement. The contract is valued at $219,000 and is supported by 2027 Washington Department of Ecology funding. The council also reviewed the proposed 2027 property tax levy: staff recommended a 2% increase, with a projected levy of about $1.78 million including estimated new construction and tax-increment financing. The public hearing was closed, but no levy adoption vote appears in the transcript.

A workshop covered proposed comprehensive plan, development code, and critical-areas updates, including housing and subdivision standards. No action was taken on those proposals; staff said the city expects to issue an RFQ for a consultant to conduct its critical-areas update early next year. The council also received updates on city events and public works, and the meeting included the swearing-in of a new police officer. No other procurement awards were identified.
