# City Council Meeting - November 2, 2026

The Renton City Council meeting on November 2, 2026, addressed a franchise agreement with Easy Fiber Washington Assets LLC, doing business as Easy Fiber, to install fiber-optic facilities in the city’s public rights-of-way. Council concurred with the Utilities Committee’s recommendation, and Ordinance 6215 was advanced for second and final reading at a later meeting. Council also considered 2027–2028 utility and solid-waste rate ordinances, advancing them for later readings, and adopted Ordinance 6213, an adjustment to the 2025–2026 biennial budget, by unanimous roll call. No amount for the budget adjustment was stated. The upcoming Finance Committee agenda includes a proposed $1.5 million House Bill 1590 grant beneficiary agreement with Vision House for the Children’s Village Vision project, renewal of 2027 stop-loss coverage, and vouchers; these items were announced but not decided at this meeting.

Public commenters thanked the city for its previously announced decision not to renew the Flock camera contract and raised concerns about any replacement license-plate-reader system. Several also asked that Council committee meetings be recorded. A motion to have staff research recording committee meetings was discussed, but the transcript indicates it was not seconded, and no vote or decision is recorded. Other discussion included a code amendment concerning the siting of homeless services, which was advanced for a later reading, and community concerns about the Renton Rowing Center’s dock and water access.
