6-2-2026 City of Oak Harbor Council Meeting

The City of Oak Harbor Council held a meeting on June 2, 2026, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. The council approved the acceptance of a donated park bench from the Oak Harbor Garden Club for Holland Garden Park, with the city responsible for future maintenance. A significant portion of the meeting focused on Ordinance 2043, amending parking and traffic control regulations related to vessel, trailer, recreational vehicle, and oversized load parking, including the introduction of a permit system without fees and enforcement provisions. The ordinance passed unanimously. The council also conducted a public hearing and approved Ordinance 2041, which included budget amendment number four for the 2025-2026 biennial budget. Discussions around this amendment involved fee schedule adjustments for parks and recreation programs, particularly addressing concerns from local youth sports leagues about increased fees and restroom facility provisions. The council acknowledged the need for improved restroom facilities at certain parks and discussed cost recovery targets for parks and recreation services. No immediate contract awards or RFPs were mentioned, but the meeting reflected ongoing efforts to manage city resources, budget amendments, and community partnerships.
