Kenmore council to review proposed $118 million 2027-2032 capital plan

Kenmore City Council is scheduled to review proposed Ordinance No. 26-0647, the 2027-2032 Capital Improvement Program covering 54 projects totaling $118 million across parks, surface water, transportation, and city facilities. [S1 · Item 15]

What the records say

The Kenmore City Council's Sept. 21, 2026 agenda includes proposed Ordinance No. 26-0647, which would establish the city's 2027-2032 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). [S1 · Item 15] The proposed plan includes 54 individual projects totaling $118 million over the six-year planning horizon, funded through a mix of park and transportation impact fees, real estate excise taxes, general fund revenues, surface water utility fees, King County Parks Levy funds, and grants. [S1 · Item 15] The item is scheduled as a review-and-discussion presentation, not a vote. [S1 · Item 15]

  • The Sept. 21, 2026 agenda includes proposed Ordinance No. 26-0647 for the 2027-2032 Capital Improvement Program, listed for review and discussion. [S1 · Item 15]
  • The proposed CIP includes 54 projects totaling $118 million over six years, covering Parks, Surface Water Management, Transportation, and City Facilities. [S1 · Item 15]
  • A public hearing on the proposed CIP is scheduled for Sept. 28, 2026, with potential adoption of Ordinance No. 26-0647 on Oct. 12, 2026. [S1 · Item 15]
  • The Sept. 21 presentation is by the Finance & Administration Director, City Engineer, Environmental Services Director, PW Operations Director, and Deputy City Manager. [S1 · Item 15]

Why it matters

The CIP is the city's programming document for major capital work in parks, Surface Water Management, transportation, and city facilities; the first two years (2027 and 2028) will be folded into the Biennial Budget. [S1 · Item 15] The current 2025-2030 CIP was adopted in October 2024 and amended in October 2025, so this proposal would replace it. [S1 · Item 15] Residents who want to weigh in on specific projects have a scheduled public hearing on Sept. 28, 2026, with potential adoption of the ordinance on Oct. 12, 2026. [S1 · Item 15]
