The City of Charlotte held a Council Business Meeting on June 22, 2026, which included a variety of agenda items and public forum discussions. Key procurement-related actions included the approval of a pilot automated red light running enforcement program with ordinance amendments, and the adoption of budget ordinances appropriating $12,000 for solid waste services apprenticeships. The council also approved an initial findings resolution related to stormwater construction period financing and introduced bond orders totaling $425 million for transportation, neighborhood improvements, and housing. Additionally, an interlocal agreement with the town of Mint Hill for water and sewer infrastructure construction was authorized.
