Costa Mesa City Council Meeting May 19, 2026

The City of Costa Mesa held a regular City Council meeting on May 19, 2026, which included presentations recognizing local high school sports teams and public comments on community issues such as homelessness and rising electricity costs. Key procurement-related discussions focused on two contract approvals: a five-year agreement with Mary Mack Petroleum for the purchase and delivery of unleaded fuel valued at approximately $700,000 annually through a cooperative agreement with Orange County, and a professional services agreement to operate the Costa Mesa Bridge Shelter. The shelter operations contract was awarded to Volunteers of America Los Angeles (VOALA) following an RFP process, with VOALA offering enhanced services including community supports, veteran outreach, and quality assurance, at a proposed budget of just over $2 million annually. The council approved both contracts, with the shelter operator vote passing 6-1. Additionally, the council adopted a policy to comply with SB77, enhancing public participation and accessibility for remote meetings. No other procurement actions were taken during the meeting.
