From the meeting
At its October 13, 2026 work session, the council reviewed a draft agreement to buy a future public works site on the west edge of town. The draft calls for a $199,000 purchase, a 90-day due diligence period, and closing by March 2027 so the city can budget the purchase in the capital improvement plan (CIP). The decision is still pending council direction, and the next real step is whether staff should move forward with the agreement.
