The Eden Plus City Council took multiple formal actions at its July 13, 2026 meeting, approving an assortment of ordinances, a budget amendment, a gas‑hedging authorization and a settlement agreement.
Ordinance 2839 (second reading and adoption) updates the city code to add a chapter on electric motorcycles (chapter 10.42). Police Commander Tony Ryan provided a staff report; the committee raised no substantive objections other than requesting publicity about training. Council moved to adopt the ordinance on second reading and it passed by voice vote.
Ordinance 2841 (2026 budget amendment, second reading and adoption) was presented by Finance Director Kristen Reed. The amendment includes a $35,000 addition to purchase two digital reader boards paid from the street fund (transferred within IT fund percentages) and temporarily reduces the Facilities Fund reserve below policy levels; committee recommended approval. Council approved the budget amendment on second reading by voice vote.
On a motion from the Public Works committee, council authorized the city to hedge 25% of expected gas use for summer 2030 at $3.10 per dekatherm (or better) and 25% of expected use for winter 2030–31 at $5.65 per dekatherm (or better), and to extend agreements with the city’s carrier as needed. The motion was seconded and passed by voice vote.
Council also approved Resolution 1883, authorizing the mayor to enter into a settlement agreement involving QMC (referred to in the staff report as Cortera/QMC), Ennequois Holdings LLC and David Grampa. City Attorney Joanna told council the parties had reached an agreement and that the terms contained no monetary obligations for the city; the council entered a brief executive session to discuss litigation matters under the cited RCW provision and thereafter authorized the mayor to execute the settlement agreement.
