# Work Session and Regular City Council Meeting 08 12 2026

The City of La Center’s work session and regular City Council meeting was held August 12, 2026. WSP presented an update on the comprehensive plan and development-regulation periodic update, with final city adoption expected in October. Council approved a WSP contract amendment, increasing the not-to-exceed amount from $331,415 to $353,634 (an additional $22,219). The city reported that a Department of Commerce grant would cover the amendment, avoiding additional general-fund costs; prior contract amounts included the original $241,498 agreement and a $89,917 amendment. Separately, the city said the Fourth Street widening/Breezy Creek project was expected to go out to bid later in August, with an award anticipated at the September council meeting; no bid award was made at this meeting.

Council also approved an MDR16 development-code amendment raising from 10 to 20 acres the project size at which a mix of housing types is required, and approved the Mir annexation and associated zoning action. The code change affects future development requirements and housing-product choices. No other contract awards or purchasing decisions were identified; council members also raised public concerns about transparency regarding the cost of a city art installation.
