City of Woodinville Live Stream

The Woodinville City Council meeting was held October 20, 2026 (the metadata lists October 21 UTC). The council considered contract 26-083 for Granicus’s SmartGov permit-management software, selected through an RFP process that received nine proposals and included presentations from five vendors. The proposed five-year contract is approximately $440,000, including a one-time implementation cost of $123,522; staff said the annual cost after implementation would be less than half the city’s current Accela cost of about $110,000. SmartGov includes unlimited users, data migration, training, public-facing permit tools, reporting and potential AI-assisted application support. The transcript does not capture a final vote or disposition on the contract. The council also reviewed the proposed 2027–28 biennial budget, with about $145 million in sources and $105 million in uses, and no proposed property-tax increase. It includes roughly $28.5 million for street projects, $9 million for parks, nearly $11 million for surface water and $2 million for facilities, as well as equipment and maintenance funding. The budget hearing was continued unanimously to November 3; no budget adoption occurred in the transcript.

The council approved Ordinance 816 on second reading by a 5–1 vote, allowing outdoor vehicle and vessel display and sales in the General Business zone as a conditional use; members chose not to change the Tourist Industrial zone through this ordinance, with that issue to be considered separately. The council also received a draft integrated pest management plan, but the transcript does not capture an approval vote. Other than the SmartGov contract consideration and budget proposals, no additional contract award or procurement vote is clearly recorded.
