City Council Meeting - September 1, 2026

The City of Shelton, Washington City Council met on September 1, 2026. Procurement-related discussion included a report that the county housing and behavioral health advisory board had approved forwarding an RFP for winter shelter services and issued RFPs for remaining housing-related funds; the transcript does not clearly convey the funding amounts. The city manager also described a contractor’s work to extend approximately 7,200 feet of sewer main along Railroad Avenue to serve the 365-home Coffee Creek subdivision, including moving a water line; no contract award or project cost was discussed. The council appointed Dwayne Wilson and Dedra Peterson to the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee, which reviews recommendations for use of the city’s 4% lodging tax dedicated to tourism promotion. No lodging-tax funding allocations were approved at this meeting.
