Toledo, Washington City Council meeting, October 20, 2026: Council considered the SR 505 water-main replacement project, including a motion to proceed with the state contract. Members discussed whether estimated costs were realistic and requested more information on engineering and construction costs before committing; the updated project estimate was approximately $2.2–$2.3 million, with a 35% loan-forgiveness subsidy. The transcript’s recording of the final vote is incomplete, so the outcome is unclear. The Park Board also presented a proposal for lockable pop-up electrical outlets in the city park. Estimated unit costs ranged from $300 to $1,500, while installation could total several thousand dollars; council requested a location map so staff can seek bids and bring the item back. A request for an additional dry storage box was deferred to a future agenda.

Council approved Resolution 361A, adding mileage reimbursement and overtime compensation to the interlocal treasurer-services agreement with Winlock, with those costs billed back to Winlock. It also approved Ordinance 844 correcting a municipal-code chapter reference and approved Ordinance 843’s sign-code changes, including rules allowing each business one off-premise sign subject to location restrictions. Council approved $715.34 in leave forgiveness. City Hall reported that budget work is underway; no other procurement awards or purchasing approvals were clearly identified.
