The City of Arlington, Washington, City Council held a workshop on September 28, 2026, according to the meeting title. Procurement- and infrastructure-related discussions included a third change order for the Division and Broadway restoration project, stated in the transcript as approximately $156,205; council members also discussed cost increases over the original $1.29 million base contract and design problems that required earlier changes. Airport staff described a WashDOT sustainable aviation grant application seeking 50% funding for solar lighting on taxiways Delta and Echo. The city was asked to authorize local matching funds for three project alternatives, with the combined Delta-and-Echo option prioritized and a not-to-exceed amount of $19,000 cited; the transcript does not clearly identify what that amount covers. The North Sound Logistics development must dedicate right-of-way and fund required street improvements on 51st Avenue and 47th Avenue Northeast, with work completed to city standards.

The council also discussed proposed e-bike and controlled-substance child-endangerment ordinances, without procurement actions identified in those discussions. Staff reviewed July and August finances, noted revenue trends and the need to monitor the cemetery fund, and said the 2027–28 biennial budget would be presented in October after a council retreat. The meeting records approval of the agenda and consent agenda, but does not clearly establish whether the discussed change order or grant resolutions were among the consent items or report a separate vote on them.
