# City Council Meeting 08/10/2026

The City of Milton, Washington City Council discussed its 2026 comprehensive plan update and related zoning map amendment, including a private request to reclassify 2801 Redwood Street from urban residential multifamily to uptown mixed use. Council raised questions about housing, permitted uses, and neighboring parcels. A public hearing is scheduled for the next meeting, with council action expected in October after the state review period; no vote was taken on the request. Staff also reviewed updates to the six-year capital improvement plan, which supports eligibility for grants and state loans, and discussed possible funding sources, including questions about removing some projects from consideration for RCO grants.

The second-quarter financial report noted year-to-date spending for the purchase and outfitting of two police vehicles, City Hall retrofit and citywide parks improvements, and utility work including tree trimming, meter and pole replacement, and pump-station components. Some capital funds were below budget because grant revenues had not yet been received. Council also discussed a proposed budget amendment to change the Planning Manager position title to Community and Economic Development Director, with separate confirmation expected at a later meeting, and a proposed salary commission for elected officials; neither item was approved in the discussion shown. No contract awards or competitive bid approvals were identified.
