The Pullman City Council’s regular meeting on August 4, 2026, approved a consent agenda that included accounts-payable disbursements totaling $1,677,346.12, an amended federal/state grant agreement for the Airport Road Multimodal and Regional Access Improvements project, and acceptance of Fornier Industries, Inc.’s bid for dewatering improvements and authorization to execute the contract. The council also approved an extension of the City’s right-of-access agreement with Washington State University through June 30, 2036. It separately authorized applications for transit-facility design and environmental review funding: a Washington State Department of Transportation grant request of $3,258,899, and a Consolidated Grant request capped at $2.5 million with a local match of $930,420. Both applications concern the same project, and the City said it could receive an award from only one of the programs. The council also approved seeking $103,500 toward a replacement Pullman Senior Center van estimated to cost $115,000, with an $11,500 local match.

Staff presented another Consolidated Grant application for paratransit operations (Resolution R-42-26), but the available transcript ends during the resolution reading, so its vote is not shown. The council also approved a limited neighborhood-commercial zoning change and related comprehensive-plan map amendment for 700 NE California Street; these land-use actions did not involve a procurement award. A utility-account bad-debt write-off resolution passed, with no amount stated. Council members requested a future discussion of downtown window-covering rules, while staff noted that advancing it sooner could require reprioritizing workloads; no change to the rules was made at this meeting.
