The latest, from Oct 20: At its October 20, 2026 meeting, the finance committee listed the bid award for the City Hall lighting project funded by a DCEO grant. The agenda does not name the winning bidder, so the award was still pending the council vote. The grant-funded lighting work is a near-term opportunity tied to a public building upgrade and implementation work after award.
