Lebanon City Council 10/27/26

The October 27, 2026, Lebanon City Council meeting included several procurement and capital-project actions. Council approved agreements with Duke Energy for permanent and temporary easements for the Lebanon pressure improvement project, compensating the city $70,213, and for a temporary construction laydown yard at $8,200 per month for 22 months, totaling $180,400. Council also approved ordering a KME fire pumper to replace a 2016 vehicle, with delivery expected in 2029 and payment planned upon delivery under the capital plan; no purchase price was stated. An ordinance authorizing blanket purchase agreements for water meters with Ferguson Waterworks, Neptune Equipment Company LLC, and Buckeye State Pipe and Supply Company received a first reading, not final approval. Staff also reported ongoing neighborhood paving work and scheduled paving on Deerfield Road and Mound Street, but no related contract award was discussed.

Council considered Resolution 2026-105 to terminate the city’s agreement with Flock Group, Inc., following public comments and a presentation by the police chief on ALPR use, safeguards, and privacy concerns. The transcript’s roll-call is garbled and does not clearly establish the outcome; the chief stated the cameras remained covered and the system inactive. Presenters also discussed upcoming county levy renewal votes supporting elderly services and behavioral health programs, but no city procurement or spending action on those levies was taken.
