Kenmore Inn Apartments tax-exemption contract was scheduled for council consideration

What the records say

In materials published ahead of the July 27, 2026 meeting, the record said the City Council was scheduled to consider adoption of Resolution 26-450, which would approve a Multifamily Tax Exemption (MFTE) contract for the Kenmore Inn Apartments ¹. The resolution would also authorize the City Manager to sign the agreement and take the steps needed to carry out the MFTE process set up in Chapter 3.65 of the Kenmore Municipal Code ¹. The item was presented by Samantha Loyuk, the city's Development Services Director ¹. The supplied record identifies the contract but does not spell out its terms, and the available records do not establish the meeting's outcome.

• The City Council was scheduled to consider Resolution 26-450 approving the MFTE Contract for Kenmore Inn Apartments.
• The resolution would authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement and implement the MFTE process under Chapter 3.65 of the Kenmore Municipal Code.
• The item was presented by Development Services Director Samantha Loyuk.

Why it matters

An MFTE contract for a local apartment complex is a housing and fiscal matter for Kenmore residents, but the record does not spell out the contract's terms, such as any affordability commitment or exemption length ¹. Because the record is a pre-meeting agenda item, residents only know what was scheduled for discussion, not what the council decided; the available records do not establish the meeting's outcome ¹.

What changed / what's next

• No change is documented; the record shows a resolution scheduled for consideration that would approve the MFTE contract and authorize the City Manager to execute it ¹.
• The available records do not establish the meeting's outcome, and the supplied packet does not include the contract's terms, such as the affordability commitment or exemption length ¹.
