08-03-2026 Livingston City Council meeting

At the August 3, 2026 Livingston City Council meeting, the council approved a contract with Mitchell, Emert, and Hill to conduct the city’s next annual audit. It also unanimously approved, by roll call, the purchase of a used street-department dump truck for $68,000; the truck’s make and model were not confirmed during the meeting. The council approved Ordinance 2026-8-1 updating historic-zoning provisions to reflect state law. A proposed requirement that zoning and Board of Zoning Appeals applications be submitted at least 14 days before meetings was discussed, but the transcript does not capture a final vote on that item.

The mayor reported that equipment had been mobilized at the Livingston Industrial Site project, supported by a $1 million grant, and described wastewater-plant cost savings from reduced chemical use and testing. A natural-gas representative reported a rate reduction and estimated the city could receive about $88,000 in reimbursements for prior-period charges. The council also received information on proposed federal Opportunity Zone designations and the city’s ongoing review of IT services for potential savings; no IT procurement decision was reported.
