City Council Regular Meeting - 05 Oct 2026

The City of Woodland, Washington, held a regular City Council meeting on October 5, 2026. Council discussed authorizing payoff of the 2017 limited tax general obligation bond for the fire station from Fund 230; the item was treated as a first reading, with a second reading planned for the next meeting. The transcript does not capture a vote on the bond item. For the 2027 budget, council gave direction to build the budget without a property-tax increase; a public hearing and later vote are still required. Lodging-tax applications were open through Friday, with a committee recommending how those funds should be distributed for council approval.

Public works reported that preliminary design for biosolid tanks was complete, the Davidson Avenue road project was substantially complete, and North Beacon Road striping was expected in late November. The city has received $1.3 million in grant funding for the Lakeshore Park Road multimodal extension, while a separate RCO grant remained pending. Council discussed possible future park amenities, including pickleball courts and basketball facilities, and asked staff to investigate suitable sites, costs, and funding opportunities and return with information at the next meeting. Other project and policy discussions included a planned post-annexation and long-term lease agreement with Clark County Fire Rescue, and potential rules concerning mobile food vendors, RV parking, and Airbnb rentals.
