# 2026-9-9 Snoqualmie Finance & Administration Committee Meeting

At the City of Snoqualmie Finance & Administration Committee meeting, dated September 10, 2026 in the metadata (the meeting title refers to September 9), members reviewed a six-part budget amendment. The requests included separation costs for former employees, about $70,000 to fund police staffing through year-end, $50,000 for temporary staffing-company support to help prepare the 2027–2028 budget, and about $38,000 for a contracts and procurement analyst for the final three months of 2026, with that position described as an ongoing cost. The transcript states a total amendment request of $470,000, though it also contains an inconsistent earlier figure. Members discussed the proposed funding sources and accounting treatment; staff said the additional appropriation was needed where existing budgets were insufficient. The committee did not vote to approve the amendment. It agreed to forward the requests to council as two separate agenda bills—items 1–3 and items 4–6—for consideration, with any changes to be made publicly by council. The claims report was recommended for the September 14 council consent agenda; no specific contract award or vendor selection was made.

The committee also discussed the upcoming budget review process. The mayor said staff aimed to present a budget proposal by the end of September, with multiple committee and council discussions planned in October and November; council members requested a detailed, robust review and discussion of council budget priorities. Other agenda items included a flood update with no new information and a status update on potential land use in unincorporated UG. No other procurement actions were identified.
