Community Engagement Commission - Sept 16, 2026

The City of Liberty Lake Community Engagement Commission meeting, identified in the title as September 16, 2026, approved an agenda amendment and the August 19 meeting minutes. The commission reviewed plans for the September 24 Sidewalk Master Plan town hall, developed with SCJ, including public input on whether sidewalk responsibilities should fall to the city or property owners and on possible funding approaches. Broad cost estimates for the city and homeowners were mentioned, along with examples such as levies or additional taxes, but no amounts or funding decisions were provided. The survey and town hall materials will be passed to City Council; no contract award or procurement action was taken.

Other discussion covered the current draft of the city logo, proposed removal of geographic and term limits for commission membership, recruitment, and a work plan for future community-engagement events. Members also discussed the commission’s role in outreach on issues including homelessness and proposed development. Votes were taken on the agenda amendment and minutes, but no spending motion, budget allocation, or procurement approval was identified.
