October 13, 2026, City Council Meeting

At the October 13, 2026, Port Orchard City Council meeting, members reviewed the city’s preliminary 2027–28 budget and capital funds. Staff described planned spending across transportation, parks, and utility projects, including approximately $5.7 million in capital project funding and a $1.9 million RCO grant for stormwater projects. The council also heard an informational presentation on the South Kitsap School District’s proposed three-year capital projects levy; no city action was taken on the levy. No contracts or construction bids were awarded during the meeting.

The council unanimously approved a resolution renewing six temporary construction easements for the SR 166 Bay Street Improvements project, totaling $70,300. Staff said the project’s construction start shifted to 2027 after the city pursued $3.55 million in additional federal funding, and that the easements are needed to maintain access and keep the project on schedule. A motion was made and seconded to authorize a presale agreement with the Puget Sound Partnership for shoreline mitigation credits for the Waterfront Plaza project, but the transcript does not capture a vote or final disposition. The meeting ended after a motion to table business item D and adjourn; no other procurement decision is evident in the transcript.
