City of Anacortes - City Council Meeting, 8/3/26 (Zoom Livestream)

The City Council of Anacortes, Washington, held a meeting on August 3, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed. The council approved a contract award to Coluccio Brothers for the Ben Rush Skate Park restroom and parking lot project, with a total project cost estimated at approximately $570,000, funded by proceeds from a prior property sale. Additionally, the council considered and approved a budget amendment ordinance consolidating several accounting funds (Parks and Recreation, Cemetery, and Library funds) into the general fund to improve transparency and streamline budgeting processes. The ordinance also established a new capital construction fund (Fund 301) to house future governmental capital projects, facilitating clearer tracking and management of such projects. The council emphasized that utility funds would remain separate due to accounting principles. These actions reflect the city's ongoing efforts to manage capital improvements and financial reporting more efficiently.
