At the Yukon Special City Council meeting on November 10, 2026, council elected Rick Kachini mayor and Zach Castle vice mayor following the recall election. Procurement- and spending-related actions included unanimous approval of Ordinance 1498, which authorizes the city manager or designee to approve claims and invoices under $50,000, requires council approval for amounts of $50,000 or more, and provides for reporting and internal controls. Council also unanimously approved the ordinance’s emergency clause, citing delays in vendor payments. The council considered accepting an $18,876.70 Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation grant for 10 AEDs and accessories for the Yukon Police Department, together with budget amendment 2027-13; the transcript does not capture the vote or final outcome. Council approved an ownership and maintenance agreement with the Yukon Chamber of Commerce for the donated Miller Man statue. The city said the lease would cost it nothing, though the cost of the foundation and site improvements was still being evaluated, with possible hotel-motel tax funding and in-house public works labor mentioned.

Council also discussed a proposed rezoning for property at 15960 West Highway 66, including concerns about industrial use and neighboring properties; no action was taken, with a further discussion and decision expected November 17. It passed an ordinance allowing certain shotgun use subject to restrictions. No other contract awards or purchasing decisions were clearly recorded.
