The City of Grants Pass Council held a workshop and special meeting on October 19, 2026, covering proposed revisions to the city fee schedule, the city manager evaluation process, invocation procedures, and agenda items.

On invocation procedures, a motion to advance a policy and procedures document with modifications passed 5–1, with one abstention; the policy itself was not adopted at this meeting. No procurement activity was identified.
