Clovis City Council Meeting - October 12, 2026

The Clovis City Council meeting was held October 12, 2026. Its main procurement- and capital-planning discussion was a workshop on the Water Master Plan Phase Three amendment. Staff recommended Alternative 2, locating a planned surface-water treatment plant in the Northwest, alongside related pipeline, tank, and existing-plant improvements. The alternatives’ estimated build-out costs were approximately $512 million to $518 million; the transcript’s specific figure for Alternative 2 is garbled. By motion, the council approved advancing the amendment to environmental review. This was not final adoption or approval of construction spending: staff said environmental documentation and formal adoption would return to council, while financing and impact-fee policies would be considered through the general-plan and fee-update processes. Staff also said further studies are needed on reliable water supplies, including a possible Kings River pipeline and groundwater options.

The council approved consent-calendar items 1–6 and 8, with item 7 continued to a future date; no contract award or vendor selection was identified. Public comments addressed the quality of recent road repairs, but no related procurement action followed. The council also approved canceling the following week’s meeting. Other discussion included community awareness and proclamation requests, and a request for a future update on improvements to the water tower at Letterman Park.
