Covington City Council Meeting - October 13, 2026

The Covington City Council meeting on October 13, 2026, addressed two infrastructure agreements. Council approved an infrastructure maintenance agreement for the phased Lake Point Urban Village development and authorized the city manager to make administrative updates to its maintenance table within the approved framework. The agreement distinguishes standard infrastructure the city will maintain after acceptance from private or enhanced improvements that remain the developer’s responsibility; staff noted warranty and maintenance bonds before city acceptance. No contract amount was stated. Council also approved a dark-fiber lease exchange agreement with Easy Fiber Texas LLC, allowing use of available city conduit. In return, the city receives dedicated fiber strands and access to 10-gigabit service at nine city facilities at no additional cost; Easy Fiber will perform the installation work and repair its cable infrastructure.

Council also received a presentation on park maintenance staffing and service levels, and considered a resolution supporting Kent School District No. 415’s replacement educational programs and operations levy. Discussion cited the levy’s role in district operations and estimated that a $650,000 home would pay about $10 more per month in the first year and $9 more in the second; the transcript does not clearly capture the final vote on the resolution. No other procurement awards or purchasing decisions were identified.
