The Tonganoxie City Council meeting was identified in the title as November 2, 2026, while the metadata lists November 5, 2026. The council approved procurement of water meter equipment from Olathe Winwater Company for an amount not to exceed $39,760. Staff said the purchase would replace malfunctioning meters, including warranty replacements, and establish inventory for future needs. The council also approved the North Star Subdivision stormwater improvements, including commodities and temporary construction easements, at a cost not to exceed $20,000. Staff estimated self-performing the work would cost about $19,000, compared with an engineer’s estimate of about $41,000 if competitively bid; both motions passed.

A resident asked the city to address late fees for water bills in light of Social Security payment schedules. Council members discussed the possibility of moving the utility-bill due date and requested further staff information before considering a policy change; no action was taken. The consent agenda included bill payments, with a question confirming Multi Studio provides on-call planning services. The city manager’s report noted the sewer treatment plant improvement project was nearly 50% complete, with contractor pay applications expected. The council also entered executive session for legal advice on development matters.
