City of Faribault Live Stream – 2026-11-10 City Council Meeting

The Faribault City Council meeting was held Tuesday, November 10, 2026. The council approved the consent agenda, including items 6A–6N, and canvassed the November 3 general election results by approving Resolution 2026-331. During discussion of tobacco licenses, a council member suggested considering a policy to stop renewing licenses as businesses leave; no such policy decision was made at this meeting.

The council considered bids for the Riverside Court sanitary sewer improvements under Resolution 2026-327. Three bids were received, all above the engineer’s estimate, which staff attributed partly to material-cost increases and a tight project schedule. Staff recommended proceeding with the low bidder, noting that one property has a failing septic system and that value engineering or change orders may reduce costs. About 40% of the project is proposed to be funded through special assessments to three benefiting properties, with the city covering the remainder. A motion to approve the resolution is audible, but the transcript does not capture the vote or final outcome.
