City of Fairfield City Council Meeting Monday November 9th, 2026

The Fairfield City Council meeting was held November 9, 2026. Council approved an ordinance awarding the storm-sewer lining project to Insight Pipe Contracting, identified by staff as the lowest and best bidder; one bid had been received. The project will line more than 1,800 feet of existing 12- to 30-inch storm sewer, with the liner expected to extend pipe service life by 30 to 50 years. The contract amount was not clear in the transcript. Council also approved budget appropriation ordinances: contractual appropriations reported as $247,32 (the amount appears truncated in the transcript) for three Public Works projects, and $128,844 in non-contractual appropriations for six projects in Public Utilities, Public Works, and Parks and Recreation. The transcript records the appropriations motions as passed, including suspension of readings for one ordinance.

Development Services presented the draft update to the Fairfield Forward Comprehensive Plan, with further review and readings scheduled and adoption anticipated in December; no final adoption is recorded at this meeting. The plan emphasizes redevelopment, mixed-use areas, expanded housing options, and potential partnerships with developers. The Cultural Arts Commission also reported that it is in the early stages of obtaining bids and considering a location for a proposed dog fair, with no selection or award made. An SBA representative presented disaster-assistance loan programs for eligible businesses and nonprofits; no city procurement action was associated with that presentation.
