The Pullman City Council took the following formal actions during its Oct. 14 meeting. Where the meeting recorded no roll-call breakdown, results reflect the voice votes recorded in the minutes.

- Consent agenda: Council approved the consent agenda by a single motion. Consent items included approval of the Sept. 23 regular meeting minutes; a transfer of sales-tax revenue to CIP reserve for Q3 2025 of $357,584; and approval of disbursements (electronic transfers and checks) that the clerk read, including a disbursement line totaling $1,751,459.13 as listed on the agenda packet. (Motion passed; voice vote.)

- Police Support Services Labor Agreement (Police Support Services unit, 2025–2027): Council approved a negotiated agreement reported to include a 3.75% wage increase for the current year (retroactive to Jan. 1) and a COLA floor/ceiling formula for 2025–2026 (2.5%–4.5%); the 2025 COLA value cited was 2.8%. The agreement also provides a 2% base increase for certain code-enforcement staff taking on expanded duties. (Motion to approve, passed by voice vote.)

- Ordinance 25-18 (budget amendment): Council adopted Ordinance 25-18 to amend the 2025–2026 biennial budget to reflect increased costs associated with the Police Support Services agreement. The amendment cited about $129,000 total—roughly $45,000 in 2025 and $83,000 in 2026—added to the budget. (Ordinance adopted.)

- Ordinance 25-19 (CIP-designation update): Council adopted Ordinance 25-19 to amend the city’s 2010 ordinance that designates a percentage of retail sales-tax revenue for capital improvements. The amendment resets the operations baseline and adjusts the sales-tax-to-CIP formula (the ordinance in the packet set a baseline of $970,000 per quarter) to limit over-designation of cash and preserve operating reserves. (Ordinance adopted.)

- Short-term rental code review referral: Council directed staff to review specified sections of Pullman City Code (cited in the motion as PCC chapter 17.109 and chapter 17.1 in the packet), recommend any proposed changes and provide justification for any items that would deviate from Washington state requirements. The council requested a staff report back by March 2026. The motion passed by voice vote with one recorded opposition. (Motion passed.)

- Metropolitan Park District actions: The Metro Parks board approved minutes from prior special meetings and approved accounts-payable disbursements totaling $38,851 (motion passed). The board held the Metro Parks 2026 revenue public hearing and closed it with no public comments; staff will return to the board with levy motions if desired.

No other final ordinances or roll-call tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript for separate bills; where a roll-call tally was not provided the meeting used voice votes or unanimous “aye” responses.
