The Eden Plus City Council approved several formal actions at its July 13 meeting.
Ordinance 2839: The council adopted Ordinance 2839 on second reading, adding a new chapter (10.42) to the Enumclaw municipal code regulating electric motorcycles. The committee reported no objections other than a request to publicize required training; the ordinance passed on a voice vote.
Ordinance 2841 (2026 budget amendment): Finance Director Kristen Reed presented the second reading of the first 2026 budget amendment. Reed said she made small changes between the first and second reading, including adding $35,000 for two digital reader boards to be paid from the street fund, with the IT share split across funds.
