From the meeting
At its August 12, 2026 meeting, CUD said it was researching how to discontinue fluoridation of the municipal water supply. The board learned it cannot place the question on the ballot alone; Caribou City Council must take formal action first, and November 2026 is no longer feasible because the ballot deadline had passed. Legal counsel is clarifying the process and timeline for a future referendum.
The buying signal is around legal, election, and communications support tied to the policy move.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
