2026 October 22 Lafayette City Council Special Meeting

The City of Lafayette, Indiana, held a special City Council meeting on October 22, 2026, focused on 2027 budget and salary ordinances. Council considered Ordinance 2026-30, appropriating funds for the Greater Lafayette Public Transportation Corporation; the transcript captures the start of the roll-call vote but not its complete result. No contracts, vendor selections, bids, or other procurement actions were identified.

Council amended and approved Ordinance 2026-31, the city’s 2027 budget, by a 7–0 vote. The final proposed budget was $104,561,475 after redirecting $250,382 from operating funds to other funds and moving the budget for two part-time park security officers to the parks non-reverting fund; excluding parking operations, the budget represents a 3.01% increase over the current year. Ordinances 2026-32 and 2026-33, covering salaries for appointed employees and sworn police and fire personnel, respectively, passed 7–0; the city described a recommended 3% across-the-board raise for employees. The transcript cuts off during the vote on Ordinance 2026-34, concerning 2027 elected-official salaries, so its outcome is not available.
