10/20/26 City Commission Meeting

The October 20, 2026, Manhattan City Commission meeting began with recognition of the Public Utilities Department and staff for wastewater, biosolids, and water-utility performance and service awards. The Commission unanimously approved two annexation resolutions, each 5–0: Resolution 10/2026B for approximately 4.42 acres at 3830 Excel Road, acquired for a potential future fire station, and Resolution 10/2026C for a city-owned well-field parcel in Riley County. Staff described the county review and appeal steps before anticipated annexation and rezoning actions in early 2027. The consent agenda was also approved unanimously, though its items are not detailed in the transcript.

The mayor discussed a sales-tax initiative on the ballot that was expected to generate approximately $8 million annually for roads, but no Commission action on the initiative occurred at this meeting. No contracts, bids, vendor selections, or other procurement activity were identified.
