Covington City Council Meeting - November 10, 2026

The Covington City Council meeting on November 10, 2026, included a public hearing on the proposed FY2027 budget, a state and federal legislative outlook, and procurement and funding decisions. The council authorized the city manager to execute CIP-172, the Covington Aquatic Center pool liner and changing-room project, with Peace Construction Incorporated for $1,294,150, including the bid alternate, and approved up to $195,000 in contingency funds. The project received six bids; funding includes a Washington State Department of Commerce grant of just under $364,000 and aquatic-center reserves. A potential King County grant of about $724,000 remains pending and could reduce the city’s contribution. Construction is expected to close the pool for about eight weeks, with reopening planned for mid-April. The contract motion passed without opposition.
