Lonoke City Council Meeting 11/9/2026

The Lonoke City Council meeting on November 9, 2026 included several purchasing and public-works decisions. The council approved Triple S for a police-department camera system for approximately $36,100; the motion stated $36,138, while a later reference gave $36,136. Delta Land was described as the low bidder but had a licensing issue, and other options did not meet the requested camera coverage. The council also approved road striping work, though the quoted amount was not clear in the transcript, and approved a tractor repair quote whose amount was garbled. A separate equipment retrofit costing $26,942.57 was approved with the cost to be covered by remaining grant funds. A request for a new Kubota for the ballpark was discussed, but no purchase approval was recorded.

The council approved the monthly financial report and voted to retain the existing 2027 employee health plan, with reported rate increases of $25.50 per employee and $31 for family coverage. Public Works reported water-meter repairs, service-line leak repairs, gravel use, and sewer work. Members also discussed asking the state highway department to review speed limits and a possible turning lane near the school and developing areas; no spending or procurement action was taken on that request.
