October 20, 2026, City Council Meeting

The City of Port Orchard City Council meeting on October 20, 2026, included public hearings on the 2027–2028 biennial budget and property-tax revenue. The proposed 2027 levy is about $4.4 million, including a roughly 0.5% increase (about $21,568) and revenue from new construction. Budget changes included moving the Well 7 project—already authorized but unlikely to proceed in the current biennium—into the next budget, and reappropriating Givens Park funding. The budget identifies about $35.4 million for parks and facilities capital projects. Council discussion clarified that approximately $5.02 million in park impact-fee funds would go toward waterfront projects: about $1.5 million for the plaza and $3.5 million for the community event center. No contract awards, bids, or vendor selections were identified.
