The Washougal City Council unanimously passed its 2016 budget Monday.

The $48 million spending plan includes money for a new police officer and several infrastructure and planning projects.

Councilor Dave Shoemaker made a number of “good-conscience” amendments at the Nov. 9 council meeting; none passed.

The council also voted to increase property taxes by 0.25 percent and approved an EMS levy increase of 1 percent. 

It also voted to annex 190 acres of land on the northwest edge of the city.
