City Council Zoom Meeting

The Shelton City Council meeting was held September 1, 2026. The city manager presented the council’s proposed strategic plan, covering staffing capacity, permitting, regional coordination, public safety, responsible development, and infrastructure needs. Infrastructure updates included ongoing debt service for the wastewater treatment plant, a planned 7,200-foot sewer-main extension along Railroad Avenue to serve the 365-home Coffee Creek subdivision, a signed contract for the Angle Side booster zone, and predesign work for the Mountain View reservoir. The council also discussed water-storage needs and transportation benefit district funding for street paving and downtown street and sidewalk replacement. No new infrastructure contract award or procurement vote was identified in the transcript.

The council voted to advance Ordinance 2043-0726, which would amend business-licensing rules and establish requirements for mobile food vendors, to its October 20 action agenda for further consideration; this was not final adoption. The discussion noted a $1,272 site-plan-review fee and concerns about compliance responsibilities and costs. The council also approved the process for interviewing applicants to fill a council vacancy and appointed members to the lodging tax advisory committee, which recommends uses of the city’s dedicated 4% lodging tax for tourism promotion.
