4/13/2026 Council Meeting City of Lincoln Park

The City of Lincoln Park held a council meeting on April 13, 2026, which included a public hearing on the 2027 Drinking Water and Clean Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF and CWSRF) project plan. The city discussed plans to replace approximately 320 lead water service lines at an estimated cost of $3.5 million and sewer system rehabilitation projects totaling about $7 million. Funding for these projects is expected through low-interest loans and potential principal forgiveness from the state. The council approved the project plan to submit to the state for funding consideration. Additionally, the council approved the purchase of three new vehicles for the Department of Public Services Water and Sewer Departments totaling approximately $1.22 million, less trade-in value. A resolution was also passed to waive bidding for the purchase and installation of new playground equipment at VFW Park for $65,847, funded by CDBG. The council approved traffic signal design services costing up to $80,000, funded by the Lincoln Park Public School System. A budget amendment increased the Major Roads Contractual Service budget by $189,000 for road skim coating work. These procurement actions and capital improvement projects highlight the city's ongoing infrastructure and public service investments.
