Kent City Council Meeting - May 5, 2026

The City of Kent, Washington, held a City Council meeting on May 5, 2026, which included several proclamations recognizing ALS Awareness Month, Bike Everywhere Month, National Police Week, and National Small Business Week. The meeting featured presentations from community members and organizations, including the Kent Chamber of Commerce and Americans for Equality, highlighting small business support and workforce development initiatives. Key procurement-related actions included the award of two public works contracts: one for the 64th Avenue South and West James Street Pavement Preservation Project to CPM Development Corporation (doing business as Icon Materials) for approximately $2.1 million, and another for the 2026 storm and sanitary sewer cured-in-place pipelining project to Sak Construction LLC for about $3.9 million. Both contract awards were approved unanimously by the council. Additionally, the council adopted a resolution updating the King County Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan. The meeting concluded with a closed session on collective bargaining, with no further business afterward.
