City Council Meeting 02/10/2026

The City Council meeting of Brookings on February 10, 2026, included several procurement-related discussions and decisions. The council approved a change order for the 20th Street South shared use path project, increasing the contract amount from $461,337.17 to $542,517.11 to cover additional paving and embankment stabilization. They also authorized the city manager to enter into a 10-year liquor operating agreement with Myrtle Properties LLC for Max East Side Grill. A significant agenda item involved terminating the existing construction manager at risk (CMR) contract with Henry Carlson Construction LLC for new fire and police facilities and issuing a new RFP for CMR services. After extensive discussion, the council decided to proceed with a CMR approach for the police facility and a traditional public bid process for the fire facility, amending the resolution accordingly. Additionally, the council approved an ordinance prohibiting e-waste and lithium battery disposal at the regional landfill, aiming to improve sustainability and safety. Other zoning ordinances were approved consistent with the city's comprehensive plan. The meeting also featured presentations on community health initiatives and economic development updates, but no other procurement actions were noted.
