The City of Montrose City Council meeting on November 2, 2026 included several budget and purchasing matters. Council passed Ordinance 2733 on first reading, advancing the proposed 2027 budget. Major capital items include $1 million for the Move More street-maintenance program and $1.5 million for the first year of widening and replacing the 6700 Road/Cedar Creek Bridge; the budget also continues funding for the Public Works facility and wastewater treatment plant projects. The presentation forecast $20.8 million in sewer revenue-bond fund use and a planned 20% sewer-rate increase, and identified grant-supported infrastructure projects. A resident also asked the city to budget for widening the narrow Chipeta Road bike path; no action was taken on that request.

Council approved a one-year extension of the landfill agreement with Bruin Waste Management LLC; staff reported an approximately 7% cost increase, attributed to fuel and employee costs, and said it was included in the 2027 budget. Council also authorized $25,000 payable to Ridgeway Valley Enterprises for piping an irrigation ditch along the Ogden Road frontage of the Black Canyon Flats affordable-housing project. Other actions included adoption of the 2027 fee-schedule resolution and approval of subdivision and annexation items. No further procurement action was identified in those land-use approvals.
