Kenmore City Council was scheduled to consider proposed 2027-2032 Capital Improvement Program

The Sept. 21, 2026 agenda listed Proposed Ordinance No. 26-0647, which would adopt a six-year CIP covering parks, surface water management, transportation, and city facilities 1.

What the records say

The Sept. 21, 2026 City Council agenda listed Proposed Ordinance No. 26-0647 under the business agenda, with a staff presentation on the 2027-2032 Capital Improvement Program for Parks, Surface Water Management, Transportation, and City Facilities 1. The agenda bill described the CIP as a programming document that includes 54 individual projects totaling $118 million over the six-year planning horizon, with the first two years (2027 and 2028) to be incorporated into the Biennial Budget 1. It said the city's adopted budget is the document that appropriates funds for project expenditures 1. The packet also scheduled a public hearing for Sept. 28, 2026, and potential adoption of Ordinance No. 26-0647 on Oct. 12, 2026 1. The available record is pre-meeting evidence and does not establish whether the council took action or what the outcome was 1.

  • Proposed Ordinance No. 26-0647 would adopt the 2027-2032 Capital Improvement Program 1.
  • The CIP covers parks, Surface Water Management, transportation, and city facilities 1.
  • The agenda bill said the proposed CIP includes 54 individual projects totaling $118 million over six years 1.
  • The agenda listed a staff presentation by the Finance & Administration Director, City Engineer, Environmental Services Director, PW Operations Director, and Deputy City Manager 1.
  • The agenda bill scheduled a public hearing for Sept. 28, 2026, and potential adoption on Oct. 12, 2026 1.

Why it matters

If adopted, the CIP would program 54 projects across parks, stormwater, transportation, and city facilities over six years 1. The agenda bill said the CIP is a programming document and that the adopted budget appropriates funds for project expenditures 1. Analysis: That means the CIP shows planned infrastructure priorities, but it is not itself the spending appropriation.
