# City Council Regular Meeting - 3rd Monday - 17 Aug 2026

The City of Woodland, Washington, City Council held its regular meeting on August 17, 2026. The council discussed possible development in the area known as the bottoms, including a proposal involving up to 1,153 homes, traffic and infrastructure constraints, housing demand, and the city’s ability to retain control over future development. Members expressed differing views on whether to continue exploring the proposal, but no development or infrastructure contract was approved; the discussion remained exploratory. The council also heard that the Planning Commission would review proposed code-enforcement amendments, including construction hours and a graduated penalty schedule, and may make a recommendation at a future meeting.

The council took action on vouchers, with a motion and second recorded and the vote apparently passing, although portions of the vote are garbled. A council member noted that the payments included $153,000 to Woodland schools for impact fees, of which $88,000 was associated with apartments; the city collects and passes through these fees. No contract awards, vendor selections, or other specific procurement decisions were identified. The meeting also included updates on the school resource officer partnership, city staffing, and community events.
