The Moses Lake City Council meeting on May 13, 2026, included significant discussions on legislative session outcomes, city budget impacts, and infrastructure projects. The council received a detailed update from the city lobbyist on the 2026 legislative session, highlighting a $924,000 appropriation for the city's sewer line replacement project and ongoing efforts to address water availability and transportation infrastructure, including the I-90 interchange. The council approved an amendment to the Moses Point extraterritorial agreement involving a 25% upfront system development charge for water hookups in the urban growth area, a new policy reflecting the city's water shortage challenges. Additionally, the council authorized staff to apply for a federal "Safe Streets for All" grant to develop a comprehensive road safety plan and conduct demonstration projects, with an 80/20 federal-to-city funding match. The meeting also included approval of a $65,000 expenditure from the water operations fund for evaluating alternative water source strategies. Other agenda items included proclamations for America's 250th anniversary and Memorial Day, citizen communications, and council member reports on various community and economic development activities. The meeting concluded with a 10-minute executive session on potential litigation, followed by a unanimous vote to adjourn.
