At its Oct. 13, 2026 regular meeting, the Millwood City Council adopted a new procurement policy after adding a reference to the municipal code governing emergency declarations and authority to waive competitive bidding. Council discussion emphasized clearly identifying who may act in an emergency and providing an explanation to council afterward. The mayor also reported signing a change order for a major road project that was below her approval threshold; it was disclosed but did not require council approval. The change order was described as the second and final major one, with a possible additional change order in February or March expected to be absorbed within the original project funding. No major road construction is planned in the preliminary budget; potential TIB funding for side streets remains unconfirmed.

The council reviewed a preliminary budget, with further figures and department requests still being finalized. The mayor said she intends to move funds from a matured investment into a Banner Bank savings account offering 4% interest, compared with the current 0.2%; this was presented as an informational update, not a request for council approval, while broader investment options will continue to be reviewed with the finance committee. The council also approved the 2026 Winterfest special-event application and waived its fee under city policy. No bids or new capital-project awards were identified.
