McMinnville City Council Work Session & Regular Meeting 6/23/2026
Published: Jun 23, 2026
City Council Approves FY 2026-27 Budget of $137.4 Million, Sets Property Tax Rate
The City Council reviewed and approved the proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2026-27, totaling over $137 million, with a property tax rate of $52 per thousand for general operations and an additional amount for debt service. The budget includes appropriations of over $80 million and reflects adjustments for building maintenance, contingency funds, and operational costs. Several resolutions were passed, including adopting a supplemental budget, approving airport rates and fees, and declaring the city's election to receive state-shared revenues for deferred maintenance projects. The council also discussed the financial implications of the proposed park and recreation facility, aiming for a May 2027 bond vote.
City Council Seeks More Detail on Park Facility Project, Delays Bond Vote Decision
During a work session, city council members engaged in a detailed discussion about the proposed park and recreation facility, raising numerous questions regarding costs, programming, design elements, and construction methods. The council expressed a need for more detailed financial information, including specific costs for optional features like a community room and a 10-lane pool, as well as a breakdown of site work expenses and operational cost recovery projections. Concerns were raised about the feasibility of a November bond vote due to the remaining information gaps and the need for further community input, leading to a consensus to target a May 2027 bond election.
New Park and Recreation Facility Concept Unveiled; Council Debates Options and Costs
The City Council received a detailed concept design presentation for a new park and recreation facility, a project reduced to approximately $80 million after a previous $98.5 million bond failed. The proposed facility includes aquatic spaces (competition pool, recreation pool), a gymnasium, fitness areas, community spaces, and support rooms, totaling under 60,000 square feet. Add-on elements like a stretch pool and a community room were discussed. The design prioritizes maximizing site exposure, efficient layout, and integrating with the natural landscape. Concerns and potential upgrades, such as a 10-lane pool, increased spectator seating, team deck space, and cost implications, were debated, with a decision to potentially target a May 2027 bond vote for further refinement.
