Alderwood Water board was scheduled to revisit 2026 development fee alternatives

The Alderwood Water & Wastewater District board had an information-only review of 2026 development fee alternatives on its Oct. 27 work session agenda, listed as unfinished business 1.

What the records say

The agenda for the Alderwood Water & Wastewater District (AWWD) Board of Commissioners work session on Oct. 27, 2025, listed “2026 Development Fees Alternatives” as a 15-minute item under Unfinished Business. The agenda marked the item “Information Only” and named Construction Program Manager Luke Moilanen as the presenter 1. Because the item was labeled information only, the board was scheduled to hear about options for 2026 fees rather than vote on them 1. Its placement under unfinished business indicates the item had been before the board previously; the agenda does not say what, if anything, was decided earlier. The available records do not establish the meeting’s outcome 1. The agenda does not describe the content of the alternatives or recommend a specific option.

  • The AWWD work session agenda for Oct. 27, 2025, listed “2026 Development Fees Alternatives” under Unfinished Business as a 15-minute item.
  • The agenda labeled the item “Information Only,” indicating it was scheduled for discussion rather than a vote.
  • Construction Program Manager Luke Moilanen was named to present the item, but the agenda lists only the title and presenter, not the content of the alternatives.

Why it matters

How AWWD sets its development fees helps determine what builders pay to connect new homes and businesses to water and wastewater service, a cost that can factor into the price of new housing served by the district. Analysis: the agenda provides no detail on the specific options, so the practical effects will depend on materials the district has not published in this packet 1.
