Algona City council Meeting for 10-13-2026

The Algona City Council meeting on October 13, 2026, included several contract and property actions. The council approved the new city administrator’s employment contract; she said she would not routinely take a city vehicle home, reducing the contract’s overall cost compared with the prior arrangement. The council also authorized the mayor to sign a counteroffer for the Scott property under King County Conservation Futures and approved a land-use planning agreement with the planning consultant identified in the transcript as DJ Municipal Land Use Planning. Each motion appears to have passed with at least one opposing vote. No contract amounts were stated.

The council received a property-tax levy presentation describing an allowable increase of approximately $5,900 and also referencing about $59 per month; no levy action was recorded. Proposed code updates remain under review, including a required 60-day Department of Commerce review, environmental review, and a public hearing before final adoption. The discussion also covered restoring surfaces after fiber installation, routine street and park maintenance, and a proposed process for impound appeals. No other procurement awards or spending approvals were clearly identified.
