June 30th, 2026 - City Council Meeting

The City of Sammamish held a special City Council meeting on June 30, 2026, primarily to discuss and approve a contract for interim city manager services with GMP. The council reviewed the terms of the contract, including the monthly fee of approximately $36,000, which covers both the interim city manager's compensation and associated consultant costs. A key point of discussion was an amendment proposed to reduce the interim manager's vacation from two weeks to one week, given the short five-month contract period and the need for continuity. After debate, the council voted in favor of the amendment. The contract approval was contingent on GMP's agreement to the amended terms, with the understanding that any delay could affect the start date. The council emphasized the importance of moving forward promptly to ensure city management stability. No other procurement or budget items were addressed in this meeting.
