City of Algona Wa Council Meeting- August 24th, 2026

The City of Algona, Washington, City Council meeting, identified in the title as August 24, 2026 (metadata timestamp: August 25), included several spending and contracting items. The council approved Ordinance 1272-26, the first 2026 budget amendment, and Resolution 1312-26, a consulting agreement with Kelver and Associates; no amendment or contract value was clear in the transcript. A motion also passed to approve the CJTC officer wellness grant. The council discussed a Washington Department of Natural Resources interagency agreement related to a purchase, but the transcript does not establish its terms or clearly capture a related vote. Public Works reported that the street-overlay work, including paving on Second and Third Avenues, was nearly complete. The police department also reported receiving a $308,000 grant to launch a small-town Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) program shared with Duvall; this was described as an existing award, not a new council approval at this meeting.

Other discussion included police staffing and crime trends, a planned public-disclosure portal and transition to the TraCS system, wastewater rate forecasts, and resident concerns about feral cats, fiber installation damage, and traffic safety. Council members discussed inviting Metro Animal Services to address service concerns and scheduling a public discussion about an upcoming asphalt replacement program. No related procurement vote or contract amount was reported for those topics.
