City Council Committee of the Whole | September 22, 2026

The City of Redmond's Committee of the Whole meeting on September 22, 2026, focused on several procurement and budget-related items. Key discussions included the acceptance of a $99,225 extension grant for the Veterans, Seniors, and Human Services program to continue senior lunch services through 2027. The committee also reviewed and approved a consultant services agreement supplement with Progressive Design Build Consulting LLC for the Teen Center project, increasing the contract value from under $50,000 to over $300,000 to cover expanded scope including validation and design build team procurement. The project budget was discussed, with a $35 million CIP allocation and potential $2.5 million in grants from regional partners, alongside considerations for bonding as a fallback. The procurement process for the Teen Center design build team was underway, with selection anticipated by early November. Additionally, updates were provided on the park impact fee schedule, with amendments to the Redmond Municipal Code and plans to present further details in October. Environmental sustainability efforts and community engagement initiatives were also highlighted, though no direct procurement actions were taken in that area. The meeting included motions to move certain items to the consent agenda for the October 6 council meeting.
