The McCleary City Council meeting (title dated September 23, 2026; metadata timestamped October 1, 2026) included the appointment and swearing-in of Mark Bestie and a presentation from Port of Grays Harbor representatives on port operations and projects. The port reported that its Terminal 4 expansion for AGP was completed on time and within budget, supported by a $25.5 million federal grant, and is expected to create 80 long-term jobs. Publicly bid work was awarded to Quigg Brothers, Roblands, and Bumfield; AGP selected its own contractor for its private-site work. The port also described planned airport fuel-tank replacement, marina upgrades, and recreational-site improvements, including work supported by grant funding. These were informational updates, not council award actions.

The council approved a 24-month agreement for a public-records and meeting-management system, including implementation, training, website, and agenda functions; the transcript does not clearly identify the vendor or contract price. The motion passed. The consent agenda, including payroll approval, also passed, though the recorded amounts are garbled. Council members discussed beginning a process to consider changing the city’s form of government, but no final decision was made.
