At the Pasco City Council regular meeting on August 3, 2026, council approved the consent agenda, including acceptance of the Schlagel Park stormwater main replacement project; no project cost was stated. Council also approved Resolution 4771 setting an August 17 public hearing on a fiber-optic franchise renewal with Lightseed Networks, Inc., and set a September 8 hearing on vacating excess Road 108 right-of-way. Ordinance 4851 renewing the moratorium on secure community transition facilities was adopted, extending it through February 28, 2027.
