Post Falls City Council Meeting - October 20, 2026

The October 20, 2026, Post Falls City Council meeting included a major capital-project procurement decision: council approved a construction contract for the Public Works Operations Center with TWW Clark Construction, using the base bid plus Alternate 1 for an additional fleet shop bay. Council did not include Alternate 3 for additional paving in the approved scope; staff will investigate the price difference and report back on whether to pursue it later. The transcript’s construction award amount is garbled, though it appears to state approximately $13.9 million. Council also approved related construction administration services from Integress Architecture and special inspections and testing from Budinger & Associates. The facility is expected to be completed in spring 2028, and additional project-related contracts—including gates and security systems—are anticipated to come before council. The DEQ loan item was deferred to the next meeting. The recorded roll-call votes on the project and related contracts were unanimous.

Council also received the FY2025 impact-fee report: the city collected more than $4.5 million and spent just under $1.8 million on eligible infrastructure and park projects, including road, trail, and park improvements. Other discussion included a proposed personnel policy on generative AI, a police department update on the 287(g) program and a pending request for about $137,000 in federal reimbursement, and community announcements. No other contract awards or purchasing decisions were identified.
