Moses Lake City Council Live Stream

The Moses Lake City Council held a study session on July 15, 2026, covering multiple topics including ADA street parking accessibility, extraterritorial agreement policy updates, annexation policy, street vacations, and infrastructure improvement projects. Key procurement-related discussions included the Hamilton Road Improvement project, which involves reconstructing a failing road segment with new water mains, storm drainage, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and street lighting, with estimated costs and property owner covenants presented for future council approval. The council also reviewed recommendations for the 2026 Opioid Abatement Council RFP, allocating $96,710.84 to fund local opioid remediation programs, including $50,000 to the Columbia Basin Resource Center for housing stabilization and recovery services, and a partial allocation to the Grant County Sheriff's Office for jail medical opioid abuse programs and AED purchases. The council discussed funding priorities and agreed to roll over unspent funds for future use. Additionally, the council considered policy updates on volunteer programs and public safety tax ballot measure committee assignments. A significant portion of the meeting was devoted to public health discussions on potential bans and regulations of kratom products, with community input and expert testimony influencing council direction toward a 21-and-over sales restriction rather than a full ban. The meeting also included presentations on transportation infrastructure improvements, including the Stratford Road and SR17 intersection, with various design approaches and funding considerations discussed. No formal votes were taken on infrastructure projects during this session, but several items were scheduled for future council meetings for adoption or further review.
