# City Council Special Meeting | November 2, 2026

The City of Redmond City Council held a special meeting on November 2, 2026. Procurement- and funding-related items included recognition of 13 youth climate-action projects funded through a Bloomberg Philanthropies grant of more than $76,000. Staff reported on the downtown adaptive traffic-signal project and outlined a planned Overlake deployment in 2027–2028, with completion expected in 2029. Staff noted that future projects may require contracting portions of the work to meet schedules. A committee report also noted approval of the final contract and acceptance of construction for the teen-center demolition project; no contract amount or vendor was stated. During public comment on the state legislative agenda, a speaker requested a $3 million state contribution toward the city’s Maintenance and Operations Center project. The council opened a public hearing on the preliminary 2027–2028 biennial budget, but the transcript does not include a budget decision or allocation.

The council voted 7–0 to accept the hearing examiner’s recommendation in an appeal concerning the environmental review of the city’s noise-code amendments, remanding the determination to the technical committee for further consideration. The consent agenda was approved, though the transcript does not provide its full contents. Other business included confirmation of new commission appointments and a presentation on traffic-signal performance; no additional contract awards, bid approvals, or vendor selections were identified.
