At its October 26, 2026 meeting, the Lewiston City Council approved several FY2027 service agreements: up to $18,000 for the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Lewis-Clark Valley, $30,000 for Lewiston Civic Theater, and $50,000 for Valley Vision. The council also approved Task Order 2027-01 with the engineering firm identified in the transcript as “American Company” for Phase 4 of the East Orchard sewer expansion, for $644,380. The project is intended to connect properties currently using septic systems to municipal sewer and is associated with state grant funding; staff said a budget amendment reflecting the grant revenue and task-order expense is expected next year. The council considered an interlocal agreement with Asotin County for municipal solid-waste disposal. Staff described the landfill tipping fee increasing from $49.73 to $63 per ton after rates had remained unchanged for about ten years; the agreement was presented for approval, though the transcript’s motion and vote details are garbled. The council also approved the 2025 Community Development Block Grant performance report, which documented support for home repairs, public services, and infrastructure-related activities, but no new grant award was made in that action.

The financial report noted that approximately $546,000 budgeted for the Southway Bridge project was not spent and remains available in a reserve for future work. Staff discussed establishing a reserve for traffic infrastructure repairs. The report also noted a previously approved police SWAT armored-vehicle purchase order carried into the fiscal year, with no amount stated. The council affirmed its prior land-use decision on the Derby Village/block two zoning reconsideration. No new procurement action was identified in that matter.
