The City of Kenmore City Council’s regular meeting on September 28, 2026 included a public hearing on Ordinance No. 260647, the 2027–2032 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Staff described 54 proposed projects totaling just under $120 million across parks, transportation, surface water management, and city facilities. Grants are the largest identified funding source, followed by debt. The transcript does not record a vote on the CIP or a contract award. Staff also updated the council on the Public Works Operations Center: the site-improvement contract reached substantial completion in June 2026, the building-improvement contract began in spring 2026, and staff expects to bring forward an amendment increasing the project architect’s not-to-exceed amount in the coming weeks. No amendment amount was provided; completion is anticipated around June 2027, with move-in expected by late summer.

Public comment and council remarks focused substantially on traffic-calming plans for Arrowhead Drive. Speakers debated speed cushions versus alternatives such as chicanes or speed cameras; one speaker cited at least $250,000 in additional project costs if the plan shifts away from cushions, while another cited an estimated $50,000 annual cost for cameras. A council member said temporary chicanes could be worth pursuing, but no action or vote on the project was recorded. The meeting also included an update on negotiations to set rent for the Boat House, with rent collection planned to begin in October; no final rate was announced.
