Council approves proclamations, website contract, city goals and T‑Mobile tower amendment
Summary
The Washington City Council unanimously approved a bandana proclamation for Washington Community High School, a website redevelopment contract ($30,000 budget line), a resolution adopting council goals for 2026–2028, and a second-reading amendment to a T‑Mobile water tower lease; the consent agenda was also approved.
At its Oct. 6 meeting the Washington City Council recorded unanimous votes on several routine and administrative items.
The council approved a proclamation honoring the Washington Community High School Panthers' long-standing bandana tradition and invited founding members and current holders to accept the proclamation.
A four-item consent agenda passed without objection, including approval of minutes from Sept. 15 (regular), Sept. 20 (special) and Sept. 29 (special) council meetings, a TIF pay request for Tangled Roots, authorization to purchase road salt, and execution of a contract for internet and managed services.
Council authorized the city to enter into an agreement with Revise for website development and migration; staff stated the project is within the city's existing budget with $30,000 allocated under legislative/administrative and professional services lines. The motion to authorize the agreement carried unanimously.
The council adopted a resolution establishing city council goals for 2026–2028 and accepted the executive summary of the leadership goal-setting session; staff noted more than 700 community members participated in the survey informing those goals.
On a second reading, the council approved a first amendment to a communication site license agreement with T‑Mobile LLC for the city's water tower ("water tower number 1"). Council members clarified that a previously discussed vendor discount option was not part of this amendment; the motion passed unanimously.
The mayor also announced that the city will hold a "Let's Talk Washington" community session on Oct. 28 at 5:30 p.m. (location to be posted), and alderpersons noted upcoming ward outreach and recent local business openings.
