Council adopts electric‑motorcycle rules, approves budget amendment and authorizes mayor to sign settlement
Summary
On July 13 Eden Plus City Council approved Ordinance 2839 adopting an electric‑motorcycle chapter, passed a 2026 budget amendment (Ordinance 2841) that adds $35,000 for two digital reader boards and lowers the Facilities Fund reserve below policy, and authorized a non-monetary settlement agreement (Resolution 1883) involving developer QMC and neighbor David Grampa after a brief executive session.
At its July 13 meeting the Eden Plus City Council approved three significant items: an ordinance governing electric motorcycles, a first 2026 budget amendment, and a settlement agreement involving a private development appeal.
Ordinance 2839 (second reading) was read by the city clerk as "An ordinance of the city of Enumclaw, King County, Washington relating to the use and operation of electric motorcycles, adopting a new chapter 10.42 within the Enumclaw city code." The police commander reported no changes to the staff recommendation and the committee asked that training related to the ordinance be publicized. The council moved, seconded and approved the ordinance on second reading.
Finance Director Kristen Reed presented Ordinance 2841, the first 2026 budget amendment, and said she made small changes between readings. Reed said the amendment adds $35,000 for two digital reader boards, to be paid from the street fund and allocated across IT funds per existing percentages; she also said Fund 35 (Facilities Fund) reserve will fall below the city's reserve policy as a result of the amendment. The committee recommended approval and the council approved the amendment on second reading.
The council also considered Resolution 1883, a settlement agreement related to a mixed-use project appealed by multiple parties. City Attorney Joanna described the procedural history, explained that two appeals were dismissed and one (by neighbor David Grampa) remained, and reported that QMC and Grampa had reached a signed, non-monetary settlement. Joanna requested an executive session under RCW 42.31.110(1)(i) to consult with legal counsel about litigation; the council recessed to executive session at 7:36 p.m. for 10 minutes, returned at 7:46 p.m., and then voted to authorize the mayor to execute the settlement agreement.
Ordinance 2840 was pulled from tonight’s agenda for further committee work and will return later for review.
