The City Council of Shakopee held a meeting on June 16, 2026, which included a recess to convene the Economic Development Authority (EDA). Key procurement-related discussions focused on the approval of a purchase contract for property acquisition at 1211 4th Avenue East to be assigned to the Scott County Community Development Agency (CDA) for an affordable housing townhome project.

The CDA will partner with a private developer for construction, with additional funding expected from the state. The council unanimously passed the resolution authorizing this acquisition and assignment. Additionally, the council approved a monetary donation of $1,500 to support a women's water safety program. Other agenda items included consent approvals for various contracts and cooperative purchasing agreements, such as roadway de-icing salt procurement and sewer manhole repairs. The council also discussed a proposed Minnesota Plumbing Board regulation that would ban the use of stormwater for irrigation, expressing concerns and requesting further information before taking a position. No other contract awards or RFPs were detailed during the meeting.
