Redlands City Council Meeting October 20, 2026

The October 20, 2026 Redlands City Council meeting included two construction awards and approval of in-kind city support for the Veterans Day parade. The council unanimously approved phase-three construction agreements for the Redlands Police Department building with BF Steel ($1,100,950) and Southern California West Coast Electric, Inc. ($993,934), totaling $2,094,884, and an additional appropriation of the same amount to the Safety Hall Police Building Replacement Fund. It also unanimously awarded Maxwell Asphalt, Inc. a $598,225 contract for the Redlands Municipal Airport taxiway alpha and apron pavement treatment project, with an additional appropriation not to exceed $658,048; the project is partly funded through FAA airport entitlement funds. The council also unanimously approved city resources and in-kind support for the Hometown Heroes Foundation’s November 11 Veterans Day parade, along with temporary street closures and alcohol service; the transcript’s rendering of the support amount is garbled (shown as “$21,27”).

The council discussed possible locations for the downtown morning market and the planned use of an RFP to seek a third-party operator. Members discussed retaining a downtown location and narrowing the options, but the supplied transcript ends before any formal direction or action is recorded. The council also heard a transportation conference report and recognized a youth civic education initiative. No reportable action was announced from closed session.
