Bellevue City Council Meeting - April 28, 2026

The Bellevue City Council meeting on April 28, 2026, included several key procurement and policy discussions. A major focus was on the Environmental Services Commission's recommendation regarding sewer rate equity, proposing a five-year phased approach to adjust rates for single-family, multifamily, and non-residential customers to achieve full cost recovery by 2031. The council discussed the financial impacts, affordability programs, and the need for ongoing monitoring and adjustments. Additionally, the council reviewed proposed code amendments to implement a paid on-street parking program under the city's curb management plan. The program includes dynamic pricing, expanded enforcement, and multiple payment options, with an emphasis on supporting local businesses and managing parking demand. The council voted to direct staff to finalize the code amendments and prepare an ordinance for the parking program. Other agenda items included proclamations and a presentation on the Seattle FIFA World Cup 2026 preparations, but these did not involve procurement decisions.
