The Auburn City Council meeting was held October 6, 2026. The council approved the consent agenda, which included claims and payroll vouchers, and passed Ordinance 7031, Budget Amendment No. 6; the transcript’s explanation of the amendment was too garbled to identify its specific adjustments. No vendor selections, contract awards, or bid approvals were clearly identified. During public comment, residents criticized the city’s automated license plate reader (ALPR) camera contract and called for its cancellation, but the council took no action on the contract. The mayor reported that the State Auditor’s Office is expected to audit the camera data as part of its city audit, with results anticipated by year-end or early 2027.

The council unanimously adopted Resolution 5929 supporting Auburn School District Proposition 1, a proposed $491 million bond measure for a fifth middle school and replacement of Cascade Middle School and Alpac Elementary. District representatives said the middle schools are designed and could begin construction if voters approve the bond in November; the presentation estimated a cost of about $110 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. The bond is a proposed funding measure, not a city contract award. The meeting also included presentations from the King County Library System and Auburn School District, and several community proclamations; no related purchasing decisions were reported.
