At its November 10, 2026 meeting, the Brookings City Council approved Resolution 26-070 authorizing an agreement with HDR for remaining design, public engagement, bidding, and construction-administration services for the Armory Community Site redevelopment. HDR’s proposal was $697,500, with an optional $15,000 add-on; it was unanimously selected by a committee from three RFP submissions. Council members emphasized that the concept remains subject to public and stakeholder input, historic review, and further analysis of downtown traffic and Front Street. A $4 million donation commitment is designated for the project’s construction phase.

The council also unanimously adopted the 2027 appropriations ordinance, totaling $77,376,579, and the 2027–2036 Capital Improvement Plan. The 2027 CIP includes about $15.7 million in planned spending, led by $8.55 million for streets and the airport, $2.04 million for public safety, and $1.79 million for parks and recreation; these are planning allocations rather than individual contract awards. The council approved the 2027 consolidated fee schedule, including increases to solid-waste, storm-drainage, and other service fees. No other procurement awards were identified; the Solventum PFAS update concerned ongoing monitoring and treatment, with city staff to contact the state about baseline testing at park irrigation wells.
