The City of Woodinville City Council meeting on August 5, 2026, included several revenue, development, and infrastructure decisions, but no contract awards, vendor selections, or other procurement activity were identified. Following a public hearing, the council unanimously advanced Ordinance 812, amending the 5% admissions tax by removing exemptions for the Tourist Industrial and Tourist Business zones and broadening eligible uses of the revenue to include parks capital, operations, and maintenance. The change is scheduled to take effect January 1, 2027. Chateau Ste. Michelle, Woodinville Hotel Partners, and a resident raised concerns about impacts on tourism, businesses, and affordability, and urged clearer definitions and reinvestment in the tourism district.

The council unanimously waived second reading and adopted Ordinance 811, updating park impact fees to use residential square-footage tiers; council discussion supported the higher fee option to help fund parks and trails. It also approved the 2026 comprehensive plan amendments, including a future-land-use change for a parcel intended for residential development and policy language supporting mandatory inclusionary zoning. The council appointed Mary Carcaden to position one on the Public Spaces Commission. It discussed, but took no final action on, a proposal for three-hour parking limits on specified public streets; staff may return with changes addressing future Midtown streets. An executive session concluded without formal action.
