Algona City Council Meeting for September 28 2026

The Algona City Council meeting on September 28, 2026, included a preliminary presentation on the 2027 budget. Revenues were projected to remain broadly consistent with the 2026 budget, with changes across several categories; projections reflected the water and sewer rate increases then before the council. The presentation did not identify new spending allocations or procurement awards. The council approved the meeting agenda; no other procurement-related vote was clearly recorded.

Staff reported that the Hollywood apartments project had been put on hold after going out to bid while the city investigates requirements for work involving asbestos-cement water pipes. The bid date is currently undetermined; staff estimated at least a month to complete the investigation and indicated the project could then be rebid. Council members also asked for more information about the scope and deliverables under an on-call municipal land-use planning agreement; no action on that agreement was recorded. Staff noted a newly acquired service truck and ongoing fiber installation, but the transcript provided no associated purchase amount or contract details.
