May 26 | Rogers City Council Meeting

The City of Rogers Council meeting on May 26, 2026, included several procurement-related discussions primarily focused on capital improvement projects and budget considerations. Key agenda items included a public hearing and approval of a right-of-way vacation related to a commercial development project, and a detailed discussion and approval of increased franchise fees on gas and electric utilities to fund ongoing roadway maintenance and reconstruction. The council approved ordinances to raise these fees from $9 to $14 per month for residential properties, with a planned 3% annual increase through 2030 to keep pace with rising construction costs. Additionally, the council reviewed and accepted bids for the City Hall and Police Department Civic Campus project (Bid Package 1), including contract amendments with Terra Construction as the construction manager at risk and a professional services agreement with Bronn Intertech for environmental site work. The total amendment to the construction contract was approximately $2.15 million, with bid prices roughly balancing out against original estimates. The council also approved the promotion of a police officer to sergeant and voted to adopt an 18-day in-person early voting period for upcoming elections. No other procurement actions or contract awards were noted.
