From the meeting
At its October 5, 2026 meeting, the council agreed the school could keep the football field lights on in the fall and approved removal of old wood poles no longer in use. Northwestern Energy was added to the agenda for the school item, and the city is allowing a utility-related field lighting change to proceed. The practical value is in follow-on utility coordination and pole removal work.

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