The City of Issaquah Legislative Ad Hoc Committee met on September 28, 2026, to review its draft 2027 legislative priorities and policy manual. The committee approved the September 9 minutes by unanimous consent and discussed revisions on public works, transportation and infrastructure, clean energy, water resources, public records, and economic development tools, including tax increment financing and the Main Street Tax Credit Program. A member of the public urged the committee to include stronger state support for climate and clean-energy goals. No contracts, vendor selections, purchases, or procurement spending decisions were identified.

The committee discussed revising several policy statements, including clarifying the city’s positions on economic development programs and local business tax authority. The draft priorities and manual are expected to go to the full City Council for consideration on November 2, 2026; the committee did not take a final adoption vote. Proposed next steps also include scheduling 2027 Council discussions on SR 18, supported by traffic data on the project’s benefits to Issaquah, and on potential impacts related to Cascade water and water prices.
