The City of Hastings, Nebraska, held its "Thursdays with the Mayor" meeting on May 21, 2026, focusing primarily on community events and updates rather than direct procurement activities. Key topics included the upcoming summer reading program and library events, the opening of the Hastings Aqua Court water park, and various community engagement activities such as the Battle of the Badges blood drive and Food Truck Fridays. The mayor also provided an update on the proposed community fieldhouse project, noting a change in potential locations and ongoing efforts to finalize preliminary drawings, indicating future capital improvement planning. While no specific contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, the fieldhouse project and other city events suggest upcoming procurement and budget considerations for infrastructure and community services.
