# August 18, 2026, City Council Meeting

At its August 18, 2026, meeting, the Medical Lake City Council received updates on active capital projects and their funding. The city reported advancing 10 projects, including street preservation funded mainly by a TIB grant; eight STA-funded bus-stop improvements costing about $250,075 with no city contribution; and an ADA trail-access project supported by a $15,000 grant, with the bid reported below budget. Backup generators for critical facilities have an estimated cost of about $799,000, with a 12.5% city match. The Coney Island Park shoreline and dock project was over 90% complete, with additional change-order expenses still requiring a budget amendment. The commercial kitchen project had spent about $222,000, with ARPA funding remaining and an October completion target. A stormwater project has a $970,000 state appropriation and an estimated total cost of about $1.4 million; wastewater controls contracts total about $77,000, and a separate wastewater project has a $450,000 budget split between state funds and city match. The $50,000 fiber-to-City-Hall project was slightly over budget, with broadband-fund revenue expected to cover the difference; the city also plans to seek bids for broadband service providers.
