Mayor’s Comments Mayor Wright provided the following comments: • Fraud Alert!: You may have seen this on social media, but this is a reminder to report anyone who calls you impersonating an Oak Harbor Police Officer. The scammers are trying to get residents to pay "fines" and threaten them with being arrested if fines aren't being paid. Please call 9-1-1 to report these calls. • Oak Harbor Arts Plan on the Road: You'll be seeing more about the Oak Harbor Arts Plan in the community. Pictured is Arts Commission Chair, JR Russell who presented the Arts Plan at a recent Regular Meeting Minutes November 5, 2025 Page 3 of 12  Oak Harbor Soroptimist meeting. Visit oakharbor.gov for more information on the Arts Plan and how to submit an idea to the Arts Commission • Public Records Training: City Public Records Officer Nicole Bradley coordinated a Public Records Association Boot Camp hosted here in Oak Harbor at the Oak Harbor Yacht Club. This two-day training was a hands-on session for Public Records Officers who came here to Oak Harbor from all over Washington. • All Staff Meeting: City offices were closed for our annual fall All Staff meeting and lunch on Thursday, October 30, 2025. The event included fun interaction and team building activities, a presentation of the great work being accomplished by all of our departments, and employee recognition awards. The event was made that much better by what I understand may have been record staff attendance and participation. • Upcoming Community Events: There are a number of upcoming events in our community, pictured here. There will be a Veterans Day event at the Oak Harbor High School Auditorium on November 11, 2025 from 11 a.m. – 12 noon and a Veterans Day Parade sponsored by the Oak Harbor Main Street Association starting at 2:00 p.m. downtown. • Advisory Board Vacancies: We still have openings on several of our City Advisory boards and com- missions. See the City’s website for information on how to apply and requirements for applicants. • Stay Connected: Stay connected to City information and activities at any time by visiting our website and our Facebook page. Mayor Wright also noted he wished to prematurely congratulate the winners from last night’s election. b. Councilmembers Mayor Wright called on the Councilmembers for their comments. Councilmembers Stucky and Marrow provided their respective comments. Councilmember Stucky inquired whether those serving of City advisory boards and commissions needed to request to stay on. Mayor Wright affirmed this and explained City administrative staff would be reaching out to all with expiring terms regarding their intent. Councilmember Marrow noted the important quality of having a proven track record of commitment for serving on the advisory boards and commissions and the time and study involved. Mayor Wright noted that members of the Council serve as ex-officios on many advisory boards and commissions, and also other affiliated groups, and that he would be discussing and bringing forward recommendations for their service for the following year. 6. PUBLIC HEARINGS & MEETINGS a. Ordinance No. 2029: Levying General Property Taxes for Fiscal Year 2026 per RCW 83.52.070 Finance Manager Webster reviewed the item. She explained that under RCW 84.55 the City of Oak Harbor is required to address its annual property tax levy. After holding a public hearing, the City must adopt by Ordinance any proposed change to its regular property tax levy. Regular Meeting Minutes November 5, 2025 Page 4 of 12 Per RCW 84.55, the City of Oak Harbor is required to address its annual property tax levy. Under current law, the City may levy taxes in an amount no more than the limit factor multiplied by the highest levy of the most recent three years, plus additional amounts resulting from new construction and im- provements to property, newly constructed wind turbines, and any increase in the value of stated as- sessed utility property. 1% is the maximum limit of the increase. The City may make a base adjustment to its regular property tax levy using the limit factor of 101 percent or 100 percent plus inflation. Inflation is measured by the change in the Implicit Price Deflator (IPD) published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis for the most recent (12) twelve-month period. The IPD rate for setting 2026 regular property taxes is calculated at 2.44 percent (2.44%) per Municipal Research and Services Center (MRSC) Guidance. With the IPD being above 1%, the process for establishing the City's regular levy does not involve an additional step of adopting an ordinance of “substantial need” by the City Council, as had been needed on occasion in the past when the IPD was lower than 1%. Finance Manager Webster displayed a chart of historical IPD rates. Finance Manager Webster explained why the 1% property tax levy is needed, including keeping pace with the long-term impact of inflation, to maintain the existing level of services provided by the City to its citizens, and the impact of how not implementing the 1% increase would affect future years’ property taxes. The 1% increase to the levy equates to an estimated $76,736.88. The adopted 2025-2026 Biennial Budget included the 1% increase to meet operational needs. This was included in reports at the Sep- tember 16, 2025 City Council Meeting. Finance Manager Webster provided a chart with a breakdown of 2025 levy rates showing the percent- age of tax funds that are paid to the City and to other entities within the taxing jurisdiction. Finance Manager Webster explained that as assessed values increase, the levy rate decreases and presented a chart showing those outcomes. Mayor Wright opened the public hearing and called for anyone wishing to speak on this item. Hearing no one, he closed the public hearing and turned to the Council for their questions and comments. Regular Meeting Minutes November 5, 2025 Page 5 of 12 Councilmembers Marrow. Woessner, and Marshall provided their respective questions and comments. Motion: Mayor Pro Tem Hizon moved to adopt Ordinance No. 2029 increasing the property tax levy by 1% for the City of Oak Harbor and authorizing the Mayor to sign the 2026 Property Tax Levy Certifica- tion. Councilmember Marrow seconded the motion, which passed by a vote of 4-3 with Councilmem- bers Marshall, Wiegenstein, and Armes opposed. b. Ordinance No. 2030: Mid-Biennial Budget Amendment No. 2 to the 2025-2026 Biennial Budget Finance Manager Webster reviewed the item. She explained that this was a mid-biennial true-up budget amendment that takes into account City Council actions, annual grants that have occurred year-to- date, and new requests for funding. Finance Manager Webster explained that a budget amendment is when the overall amount of a fund’s budgeted appropriation increases. Amendments require a public hearing and approval of an ordinance. A budget adjustment is the movement of an existing budget appropriation within a fund with no increase in the overall fund’s budget appropriation. 2025 Budget Amendments Previously Approved Items: $23,100 – to amend the General Fund (001) budget for the purchase of the Highway Vehicle Stabiliza- tion Kit funded by the Firehouse Subs Grant.

This amendment aims to strengthen the City’s emergency medical response capacity, en- hance staffing coverage, and ensure adequate support for both fire suppression and advanced life support (ALS) operations.

Resolution 25-24: Amending the City of Oak Harbor Master Fee Schedule Regular Meeting Minutes November 5, 2025 Page 9 of 12 Deputy City Administrator and Finance Director Goldman reviewed the item. He noted that there was not a Master Fee Schedule prior to 2016. The City has determined a need to amend the City’s Master Fee Schedule for the items listed below. The Master Fee Schedule is comprised of seven schedules and one addendum. This is the annual comprehensive amendment. Various Oak Harbor Municipal Code (OHMC) and Revised Code of Wash- ington (RCW) sections are referenced in the Master Fee Schedule. Schedule A: Development Services (Land Development & Building) • The length of time between Development Services fee adjustments (not including Building Per- mits) varies. Some fees were adjusted last year, while it has been a number of years for others. Meanwhile, cost inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), has increased by double digits since the beginning of the current decade. Changes will generally adjust closer to current cost inflation (3.0%) and round fees in five-dollar increments. • Building permit fees continue to follow the most recent edition of the International Building Code as adopted by the Washington State Building Code Council under the provisions of RCW Chap- ter 19.27 and as amended herein is in effect as the City’s Building Code. Calculations for Schedule A* * Does not include Building Division. Schedule B: Finance & Utilities • Many fee adjustments for Schedule B are long overdue as many fees have not been updated in many years. • Added sections 3.98 and 3.99 related to local business and occupancy tax. Schedule C: Fire • Updates to Schedule C include adjusting the permitting structure to better align permits to actual use and cost. • Many fees have not been updated since 2015 or earlier. Regular Meeting Minutes November 5, 2025 Page 10 of 12 Schedule D: Marina • Removal of special case moorage rates: Emergency. • Increased the moorage relocation fee from $0 to $50. The fee has been $0 since before 2015. • Increased dinghy and kayak storage to reflect upgrades to facilities. Schedule E: Police • No changes. Schedule F: Public Works • No changes. Schedule G: Parks and Recreation • Updated park facilities and field reservations fees for Windjammer Park kitchens and Fort Nugent shelters. • Simplified the private use rental fee schedule by removing fees associated with private use rentals daily rate (over 6 hours). • Updated the hourly fees for facility rental rates. Addendum 1: Public Records • No changes. Deputy City Administrator and Finance Director Goldman reviewed park facility rental usage from 2022 through present and the revenues from these rentals. Total annual reservations: 2022 = 205 2023 = 343 2024 = 367 2025 = 367 Year to Date Total annual revenues: $11,100 total revenue in 2022 $19,400 total revenue in 2023 $19,280 in total revenue in 2024 $31,600 total Year to Date revenue in 2025 Mayor Wright confirmed no public comments had been received on this resolution.

Mayor Wright noted Mayor Pro Tem Hizon was called away from and left the meeting at this time. Regular Meeting Minutes November 5, 2025 Page 11 of 12 8. OTHER ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION a.
